The Fiat 500e is making waves in the electric vehicle market, and its latest accomplishment proves just that. For the second year in a row, the Fiat 500e has been crowned the Urban Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal. This prestigious award recognizes the 500e’s unique blend of Italian flair, efficient performance, and commitment to sustainable mobility.
Green Car Journal editors commended the 500e for its playful driving experience, compact size that makes navigating urban landscapes a breeze, and stylish Italian design. “The Fiat 500e embodies what a modern city car should be,” stated Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal. “Its fun-to-drive electric power and compact footprint make it a perfect fit for urban life, while its zero emissions ensure an environmentally friendly approach. The Italian style is just a delightful bonus.”
The 500e boasts a 42-kWh battery that delivers an EPA-estimated range of up to 149 miles, making it a practical choice for daily commutes and even longer journeys. Its lightweight design and spacious interior also make it stand out in the electric city car segment.
The Fiat 500e’s success is evident not only in its awards but also in its sales figures. It is the best-selling city EV in Europe, representing a significant portion of its segment. The 500e’s popularity in both the US and Europe speaks volumes about its appeal to a diverse range of drivers.
“Winning back-to-back titles as Urban Green Car of the Year from Green Car Journal is a testament to how well the Fiat 500e fulfills its role as the ultimate electric city car,” commented Aamir Ahmed, head of FIAT North America – Stellantis. “With standard features like wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa integration, plus enough range for the average weekly commute on a single charge, the Fiat 500e embodies what an electric car should be.”
The Fiat 500e’s combination of affordability, fun driving dynamics, and stylish design has cemented its place as a leading contender in the electric city car segment. The 500e continues the FIAT brand’s legacy of making transportation accessible and enjoyable, a legacy that began 125 years ago.
