This tiny all-electric hatchback has been on sale across Europe for a few years now but only recently landed Down Under, bringing with it an hefty starting price and plenty of quirks. Is it any good? Let’s find out. • What exactly is it? • Generally speaking, the Fiat 500 has always been a bit of an enigma and it’s no different with this new model. Australia’s electric vehicle EV market remains relatively small, and the 500e finds itself in a segment untouched by any other car manufacturer. • Perhaps its closest two rivals could be considered as the GWM Ora and the MG 4 but both of those have four doors. There’s also the Mini Cooper SE that’s quite a bit more expensive and occupies a similar niche part of the market. It too is quite a bit larger. • It’s impossible to discuss the Fiat 500e without addressing its price first. In Australia, the 500e is exclusively available in a single trim variant called the ‘La Prima’ that starts at AU$52,500 about US$34,900 at current exchange rates before on-road costs. With all fees included, it comes to a little over AU$56,000 about US$36,900. That’s only a touch more than what the 500e costs in Europe where it is well-priced against rivals like the Peugeot e-208 and Honda e, though the later has been discontinued. It’s also eligible for government incentives throughout Europe. The same cannot be said of the Australian market. • Additionally, the local price positions it well above plenty of new EVs coming out of China, like the GWM Ora available from AU$39,990 US$26,300, the MG 4 starting at AU$38,990 US$25,700, BYD’s AU$38,890 US25,600 Dolphin and even BYD’s considerably larger Seal sedan that’s available from as little as AU$49,888 US$32,900. So, what do you get for your money? In truth, not much. • For starters, the 500e is considerably smaller than other entry-level EVs sold in Australia. It is just 3,632 mm 142.9 inches long, 1,683 mm 66.2 inches wide, and stands 1,527 mm 60.1 inches tall with a 2,322 mm 91.4-inch wheelbase. With this in mind, it is sold solely as a two-door with four seats and offered with a choice of six different colors. Our test car was painted in a sparkly color dubbed Celestial Blue that we thought looked absolutely brilliant.
