CarTell take
We haven't driven the 500e yet. On paper, confirm the drive-away promo is still active and tied to MY24 plate-clearance stock before signing. ANCAP score is 4 stars under the 2022 protocol, not the 5 stars buyers tend to expect at this price.
Why consider it
- Design, presence and brand cachet no other small EV touches.
- Fiat now prices it from $49,990 drive-away, with 85 kW DC charging delivering a usable 10 to 80 per cent in around 35 minutes.
What to know
- 311 km WLTP range is fine for urban use but light for highway road trips.
- 185L boot and four seats lock it into second-car territory, and the 3-year car warranty trails Korean and Chinese EV rivals at 5 to 7 years.
Who it suits
Inner-city buyers who park where a Tesla cannot, style-led buyers who pick design over spec sheet, second-car households looking for a daily runabout, and first-time EV buyers wanting a sub-$40K drive-away entry into electric.
