The small city car segment is ideal for electric vehicles, and in Italy, the Fiat 500 is a frontrunner. Since its 2020 launch during the COVID pandemic, the Fiat 500e has sparked interest in Australia. With confirmed pricing starting at $52,500 before on-road costs, the 500e La Prima hatch is set for its Australian debut. It offers a 42kWh battery, 87kW electric motor, and a range of 311km. The La Prima model boasts features like 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and eco-leather seats. Despite its nearly 1300kg weight, the 500e provides a comfortable and quiet ride, even on rough roads. Its 300km range suits daily commutes, making it a practical city car. Could it become Australia’s next EV favourite?
