2026 Fiat 500e
Car and Driver says it isn't yet clear what surprises are in store for the 500e in 2026, since Fiat releases new editions of the electric hatchback in semi-regular "product drops" that launch new colors and fashion flourishes throughout the year. Every 500e uses a single electric motor driving the front wheels, making 117 hp and 162 lb-ft. MSRP runs $37,695-$39,695. MotorTrend measured a 7.9-second 0-60 time and says as a cute, quirky electric hatchback the 500e has real appeal, but its limited range, small footprint, and relatively high price make it a tight fit for many buyers; MotorTrend lists top-ranked competitors as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, Kia EV3, and Mini Countryman SE.
