Thinking of buying the 2016 Fiat 500e?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Fiat 500e for sale by us right now. The 2016 Fiat 500e for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the 500e
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 4 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, exterior lighting and power train. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the electric motor; drive: front-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It uses 18.6 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 56 kWh of charge. A full charge is rated for 135 km; plan for less in the cold. A 300 km weekend costs about $8.37 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What the 500e is like
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. The EPA measures its luggage space at 198 litres, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Year and trim
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $27.90 at our price setting. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging.
