Pricing for the electric 2021 Fiat 500 hatchback

Fiat has begun accepting reservations for the all-new electric Fiat 500 hatchback. As per the convertible model – which was announced in March – availability will be restricted initially to a special launch edition called La Prima.

Unsurprisingly, technical specifications for the two body styles are identical. Power comes from an electric motor that produces 116 bhp (87 kW / 118 PS), resulting in a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 9.0 seconds. The car’s top speed is limited to 93 mph (150 km/h).

Energy is stored in a 42 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Definitive range figures have yet to be released, but according to Fiat “up to” 199 miles (320 kilometres) is possible.

Because the 500 can accept inputs of up to 85 kW, replenishing a flat battery to 80% capacity takes a relatively quick 35 minutes via a public fast-charging facility. A 3 kW ‘easyWallbox’ is supplied for domestic use, but the optional 7.4 kW version is certainly going to be more practical.

Standard equipment on the 500 La Prima includes LED headlights, 17” diamond-cut alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof and a choice of Celestial Blue, Ocean Green or Mineral Grey paintwork. As well as ‘eco-leather’ upholstery, the interior features a 10.25” touchscreen and a UConnect 5 infotainment system that’s compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Numerous assistance technologies are fitted, too. Indeed, the presence of Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centring and Intelligent Speed Assist means that Level 2 autonomous driving is feasible.

However, the 500 La Prima hatchback is an expensive proposition. After deducting the government’s £3,500 Plug-in Car Grant, UK on-the-road prices start at £26,995.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
