Hatchback2020+

Fiat 500e Icon

The compact Fiat 500e Icon suits city parking and narrow streets. Its boot is smaller than those of most rival hatchbacks in this comparison, so check luggage capacity against your everyday needs.

By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 120 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Owners love the style, the quality of the cabin and how fun, quick and easy to park it is in town. Range is below the official figure: owners of 42 kWh cars report around 150 to 160 miles in summer and 120 or less in winter.

What Owners Say

Balanced

Owners Love

  • Owners love the style, the quality of the cabin and how fun, quick and easy to park it is in town.
  • Running costs are very low on an off-peak home tariff, and many owners rarely need public charging.
  • The touchscreen with wireless phone mirroring and the driver-assist systems work well for the price.

Watch Out For

  • Range is below the official figure: owners of 42 kWh cars report around 150 to 160 miles in summer and 120 or less in winter.
  • It is small inside: tight rear seats, a small boot and no frunk.
  • The Fiat app and some infotainment features are buggy, and dealers often lack technical knowledge.

Owner Tips

  • Plan on about 150 miles in summer and 120 in winter from a 42 kWh car.
  • Look for LED headlights and the six-way adjustable driver's seat if those matter to you.
  • Use the car's own charging schedule with an off-peak tariff, and charge to about 80% day to day.
