The 2024 Fiat 500e is a battery-electric hatchback with FWD and seating for 4. It belongs to the Gen 3 generation. The 42 kWh is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 42 kWh version develops 118 hp and 220 Nm (162 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 9.0 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 150 km/h (93 mph). Its power output is about 33% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 8% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 42.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 320 km (199 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 13.1 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 85 kW. Its listed range is about 25% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 3,632 mm (143.0 in) in length, 1,683 mm (66.3 in) in width, and 1,527 mm (60.1 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,322 mm (91.4 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 185 litres (6.5 cu ft), expanding to 550 litres (19.4 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 4 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,365 kg (3,009 lb). That cargo volume is about 45% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric hatchback models from the same period, the 2024 Fiat 500e does not separate itself through a single dominant headline figure, while cargo capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
