fiat 500 e review

We took an all-new Fiat 500e across the Sunshine Coast this week at Cricks, here’s what we learned…

If you've been on the hunt for a vehicle that seamlessly merges classic charm with modern innovation, let me introduce you to the Fiat 500e at Cricks Sunshine Coast.

Firstly, when you see this car, you're greeted by that unmistakable Italian design – the Fiat 500's iconic look.

But what sets the 500e apart is what's beneath the hood - it's powered entirely by electricity. So, while you’re cruising the Sunshine Coast streets in style, you're also leaving a minimal carbon footprint.

But the 500e isn't just about eco-friendly driving; it’s about enhancing every aspect of your journey. If you love tech, because so does the 500e.

With its integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, your favourite playlists, navigation apps, and even those essential audiobooks are all just a touch away.

Performance-wise, the 500e is a revelation. Think quick acceleration, smooth handling, and an electric range that's just perfect for city drives and those short escapades.

The 500e is one of the first electric cars to offer a new driving experience using the right‑hand pedal to both accelerate and decelerate.

Any time the driver lifts the right foot from the pedal the car slows down, then converts and recovers kinetic energy to generate electric power and recharge the battery.

Enjoy the ride with peace of mind, thanks to the All-Electric Fiat 500e’s 311km range on a combined cycle (WLTP). At a maximum charge rate of 85kW, in just 35 minutes~, the All-Electric Fiat 500e reaches up to 80% of full battery charge.

And when it's time to recharge, Cricks Sunshine Coast ensures the process is as straightforward as plugging in your smartphone.

The new Fiat 500e comes standard with a 11kW Mode 3 Cable. The Mode 3 charging cable can be comfortably stored under the luggage compartment floor, so it doesn't take up useful cargo space.

Space is another feature where the 500e shines. Its compact exterior might have you thinking it’s tight on the inside, but step in, and you're met with roomy interiors.

Whether it's your shopping bags or gear for a weekend trip, the 500e accommodates with ease.

Fiat didn't just aim for style; they ensured this ride is packed with safety features, ensuring you and your loved ones are protected on every trip.

So, if you've been waiting for a car that truly offers the best of both worlds – style and substance – I highly recommend heading over to Cricks Sunshine Coast and experiencing the Fiat 500e firsthand. Because driving isn’t just about getting from A to B; it's about enjoying every moment of the journey.
