Fiat 500e to Remain Canada’s Cheapest Electric Car for 2025
Believe it or not, the Fiat 500e was one of the rare vehicles in Stellantis' large portfolio to increase its Canadian sales during the first quarter of 2025 (749 units). And that was without the federal government’s $5,000 incentive—or Quebec’s own subsidy of $4,000—for most of the period.
The company today announced that the 500e will remain the most affordable electric vehicle in the country for 2025, sticking with an all-inclusive base price of $42,290 and undercutting the cheapest Nissan LEAF by about $2,300. Discounts from the manufacturer and/or dealers will inevitably follow, too.

What’s new for 2025? Well, for starters, the La Prima model with standard heated eco-leather seats is available in six body colours including new Ocean Green, Marine Layer Mist (silver blue) and Tennis Ball (pictured above). Fiat probably hopes to serve an ace with that last one, but we doubt that many customers will pick such a garish colour.
Furthermore, as revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November of last year, there’s a new special edition that is the result of an immersive collaboration between Italian fashion mogul Giorgio Armani and the Fiat design team. Two exclusive colours—Green and Greige—have been specially created for this model, each one reflecting signature Armani hues. The monochromatic exterior is complemented by striking, custom-made wheels in a two-tone anodized finish that incorporate the GA logo.
The interior, inspired by Armani/Casa and the fashion collection, features Chevron stitching and three-dimensional patterns on the central seat inserts along with the GA logo on the front-seat headrests. There’s a laser-cut dashboard insert that simultaneously offers a woodgrain appearance and delivers the soft touch of luxurious fabric, plus the designer’s signature on the metallic trim piece below as well as on the door panels and rear window.
Canadian pricing for the Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition will be announced later.
As a reminder, all 2025 Fiat 500e models generate 117 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque while providing a range of 227 km. The estimated charge time from 0-80 percent is approximately 35 minutes with an 85kW DC fast charger. Going from 0-100 percent takes 4.5 hours with a Level 2 (11kW) AC domestic charger.
