2026 Fiat 500e Price, Specs and Range

What is it?

The Fiat 500e is the dedicated battery-electric version of the iconic 500 city car, on a bespoke EV-only platform. Australia gets the 42 kWh long-range model, with 87 kW and 220 Nm driving the front wheels for 311 km WLTP. La Prima is the volume grade with wireless CarPlay, a 360 camera and full LED lighting, with the 114 kW Abarth 500e Scorpionissima sitting above it. A Stellantis Australia drive-away run-out promo at $38,990 is active to clear MY24 stock.

The lineup runs from 500e La Prima at $38,990 drive-away, through to Abarth 500e Scorpionissima at $43,990 drive-away. Warranty cover sits at 3 years, 150,000 km.

Interior and Technology

Design, presence and brand cachet no other sub-$40K EV touches. The $38,990 drive-away run-out promo undercuts MG 4 and BYD Dolphin head to head, with 85 kW DC charging delivering a usable 10 to 80 per cent in around 35 minutes.

311 km WLTP range is fine for urban use but light for highway road trips. 185L boot and four seats lock it into second-car territory, and the 3-year car warranty trails Korean and Chinese EV rivals at 5 to 7 years.

The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: Design, presence and brand cachet no other sub-$40K EV touches. The $38,990 drive-away run-out promo undercuts MG 4 and BYD Dolphin head to head, with 85 kW DC charging delivering a usable 10 to 80 per cent in around 35 minutes.
The trade-off: 311 km WLTP range is fine for urban use but light for highway road trips. 185L boot and four seats lock it into second-car territory, and the 3-year car warranty trails Korean and Chinese EV rivals at 5 to 7 years.
Check before you buy: Confirm the drive-away promo is still active and tied to MY24 plate-clearance stock before signing. ANCAP score is 4 stars under the 2022 protocol, not the 5 stars buyers tend to expect at this price.
Best suited to: Inner-city buyers who park where a Tesla cannot, style-led buyers who pick design over spec sheet, second-car households looking for a daily runabout, and first-time EV buyers wanting a sub-$40K drive-away entry into electric.
