Believe it or not, the tiny Fiat 500 is returning to North America for 2024, this time exclusively as an electric car. Base models feature a 42kWh battery, a 118-horsepower motor and an estimated range of 240 km. Fiat could later add a sporty Abarth model producing 153 horsepower but traveling no more than 200 km on a full battery charge. Rivals include the MINI Cooper SE, Mazda MX-30 and Nissan LEAF.
Pros
- Design that should please
- Interesting city car concept
- Reliability could be on the rise
Cons
- Prices that could be dissuasive
- Interior volume poorly suited to North America
- Battery range and performance a little scarce
