With the beginning of a year come the resolutions and the possibility of making a clean slate. Many of these promises do not come to fruition, others suppose the definitive and necessary change. Fiat has worked hard throughout 2020 to be able to follow its plans despite the onset of the pandemic and its consequences. A roadmap that culminates in the complete renovation of the 500 Family , which a few months ago received its latest addition: the Fiat 500 e. This range is made up of the mythical 500, but it has also been adapted to the current market with the 500X and 500L versions . This 2021 they will be treated equally, releasing new trim levels, colors, interiors and also engines. This strategy will make it easier for the customer to choose their 500 based on their mobility requirements, as there will be some differences depending on the specific model and its spirit.
The 500 family shares the history of the iconic Italian utility vehicle, a model that needs no introduction and has recently been updated. What’s more, this round-shaped city car has been awarded as the “Convertible of the Year” and “Best small electric car for the city” in the Car of the Year Awards 2021 delivered by the magazine What a Car? The jury has especially valued the appearance of its electric variant with up to 320 kilometers of autonomy , which we will talk about in this article. Without a doubt, it is a launch to consider, especially if we are guided by the prying eyes we received during our brief contact with Madrid.
However, the needs of each family are unique. The Fiat 500 e is ideal for urban journeys and if we can install a charging point in our garage. Otherwise, we can get one of the units with 70 hp Mild Hybrid propulsion. This version, which can now be ordered for the 500 at the firm’s dealerships, has boosted sales of the model with a European market share of 17.5% , the highest ever recorded. But let’s start at the beginning: What does the creation of the 500 Family mean as a proprietary registration within Fiat?
