If your daily commute is 110 miles, this newer Fiat still won't do... Remember, that in winter months, the range will be reduced by up to 30%. Also, freeway driving will further reduce range as well as wind and going up hills.. Using the climate controls with reduce range..
not gonna lie, never been a fan of small compact cars, but wow, i wouldnt mind having one in the garage just to jump in and point a to b in such futuristic compact style. I like this.
This can be a success IF they sell for a lower price. Range of 150 miles and very small interior (no back doors) can work for commuters and city drivers. I had a 500e and was very impressed with the car but the range limitation was off set by the low price. If this comes even close to costing the same as a Chevy Bolt or heaven forbid a Tesla model 3 then it will be DOA. Sell it for 1/2 the price of a model 3 and it could be a serious alternative.
They start at $35k and the designer versions are more expensive. 150 miles of range and only charging at 85kw is too low to be competitive in the North American market.. This car needs to be under $28k fully loaded, 130kw charging and at least 220 miles of range to be competitive.. I will say that it does charges faster than a Chevy Bolt & BMW i3 (55kw).
We have a Chevy Bolt. I love the look of the 500e but the Bolt gets 100 miles more per charge and a new Bolt is probably $5-6K less expensive for a similar built 500e. I just don't see it being competitive. There was chat of not using dealerships [Tesla model of sales] which improves the sales margin so if that is the case they should be able to make a go at it. Repairs could be handled by Chrysler, Alfa, or Maserati dealerships. Probably best to go with Maserati as they have a decent number of urban dealerships. My wo watts.
agree, they were actually released in 2020.. But if the range and charging speeds are not increased for North America, the cars will not sell.. Also, an electric car needs to be manufactured in the USA in order to take advantage of the government $7500 tax credit.. The posh feeling of owning a Fiat 500e is that its made in Italy.. I just don't see USA citizens willing to spend $35k plus on the cars shown in this video (the cars in the video are special 500e).
@@mamadouaziza2536 Forget about the vehicles in the video: from when this vehicle was introduced in 2020, it was totally refined and improved. Much better than the previous generation of 500e, and 500. I believe it will have a linger range Li battery because the global world demands it. They have 18 months to decide which battery pack will be installed. You also need to be reminded that the previous generation was manufactured in Mexico, and the quality showed. Those made in Italy are not as shoddy as the one's manufactured for the US market. Also, the Jeep Renegade, the twin to the 500X, is imported from Italy. And it is a very good seller.
Hope the build quality has improved over my 2013 Fiat 500.

An Abarth version with slightly more power than a Chevy Bolt up to 250hp and 300lb/ft torque. Being FWD it would require an LSD. That could be a silly quick car dart around in.

The first Fiat 500e was a relative success with consumers in the US, it just wasn't profitable for FCA to build. However, the market for a car of this size in the US has shrunk even compared to 7 years ago. How can the Fiat brand exist with just this one model?

Need 800v architecture for such speeds. at 85 kW, the Fiat 500e is already the fastest charging car in its class, and I've never wanted anything more on the few roadtrips I've done in it.
I am a huge fan of Fiat 500, we have had 4 of them. He does not say if the car will be available in the US !! I fear that for Americans 150 mile range is very limiting. Also 0-30 in how many seconds???? No one measures accelleration and power in 0-30. Show me an Abarth level electric with 250 mile range and I will consider it, but I fear this while attractive, will be once again, an over priced vehicle that everyone will love, but they will chose another vehicle instead.
I hope it does better than it's predecessor as Fiat is kinda tanking in North America and the segment of these cars had a lot of brands just stop producing these size cars as well the past couple years. Not sure if going full electric will help, it could either tank in North America like the Smart EV's did or do well like the Chev Bolt's. Do or die market for this car size segment.
Loved my 2015 500e. But these cars are a lot of $$ for something you can’t do road trips with. Unless this is priced at $24k or less you would possibly be better off with the upcoming Chevy Equinox or even a Bolt. Much better range on those.
@@RRLV434 When they have the manufacturing capacity eventually they will be making an electric version of Hyundai i20. They are already taking notes and taking measurements.
Looks cool. Nevertheless, they are falling short of their #1 competitor in range and price. The Chevy Bolt gets 100+ miles more per charge, acceleration is similar, and the price is about the same.
These cars came out 2 years ago.. They are already dated to some degree.. The only saving grace would be longer range, a 100kw plus max charging speed, a heat pump and at least 200hp.
This doesn't seem like a good business idea, but I'm sure a few customers will enjoy it. I had the electric Smart and loved it. Still, why would they do this? Much easier to sell in Europe, and makes more sense there. I think this is a compliance car, and their fate will be the same as Smart. You can't survive if you don't make a profit.
“What better brand for the US?” Gee Stelantis, if only you had a US brand you owned,…that has existing manufacturing plants in North America,…*cough*Chrysler
yeah, great I leased a new 2019 only to have Fiat pull out of the small EV market in the U.S. all the dealers in San Diego left in the cold plus no place to service my 2019. Now Fiat says its back, I'll believe it when and if I see it. Loved my 500e in the Pearl White turned it in with only 7,000 miles on it was going to buy at end of lease but with no service centers why chance it? Fiat will need to earn trust back of its dealers and customers should they return.
Did they somehow make the Fiat 500 worse? I didn't like the previous version but this looks even less appealing to me. It's too short and the back wheels look smaller than the front which I realize is an optical illusion or something. Dunno how you fix the Fiat 500 unless you just fully redesign instead of trying to make it look like old Fiat 500's which I don't like either. Old Mini Coopers where cool looking and the modern version is also cool looking.
Fiat is so lost. I don’t think they understand that they basically need to be the Italian Chevy. A subpar car now that’s supposed to come out 2 year in the future is what they did the last time. I have 2 500s but after 11 years they need something better.

blah blah blah. He said they know they don’t sale well. As long as they know what’s it to you to care? Also the quality issues are FALSE. look on the comment section of this video from owners. 🥰
Thanks, I'm over the "bad reliability" Comments from non FIAT 500 owners. I have had mine new since 2013, almost 150k miles on her and routine maintaince. Its has been a very reliable car and not expensive to own. I use to sell them from 2012-2018 and the owners that took care of there cars came back to lease or buy another one.

So he admits that fiat doesn’t need to be in the us but wants to? I don’t see this being a huge success. Especially since no one seems to buy small electric cars (Tesla dominates ev sales). And then there’s that reputation for bad quality that people just can’t seem to forget about.
blah blah blah. He said they know they don’t sale well. As long as they know what’s it to you to care? Also the quality issues are FALSE. look on the comment section of this video from owners. 🥰
@@Natethegreat200c I’m sorry did I offend you lol?
Thanks, I'm over the "bad reliability" Comments from non FIAT 500 owners. I have had mine new since 2013, almost 150k miles on her and routine maintaince. Its has been a very reliable car and not expensive to own. I use to sell them from 2012-2018 and the owners that took care of there cars came back to lease or buy another one. However the ones that didn't maintain the car complained about the car but that goes for a lot of other modern cars and onwers.
@@LemironStarling THANK YOU!
@@LemironStarling FALSE RUMORS AND FALSE STATEMENTS. I GOT US. UA-cam channel based on fiat Chrysler reliability coming soon! Will be a game changer. I GOT US. ❤️🫶🏽
Looks nice but is not gonna sell in the US market. People here drive big gas guzzling trucks. Being in one of these on the highway surrounding by trucks and semis is a nightmare.
It will arrive in the US in 2024
Chevy is buying Fiat. They plan on renaming it "Shiat"
WOW HOW THATS ONE UGLY CAR 🤢
Lol you must be a dark person 😂. This thing is so darn adorable. 🥰🥰
Three years after Europe, but as that's pretty much always the case.
Armoney look exactly like the road.
Accident waiting
It’s a ten year old car, with a new paint.
And a fancy French impediment talking about it.
Same body style… Already failure 😞
