2026 FIAT 500e review

FIAT 500e: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review

8.3/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 FIAT 500e is a strong contender in its class. Standard driver-assist suite; efficient in mixed driving. Road noise on coarse pavement and rear headroom is tight for tall passengers, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $34,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

★★★★☆Carlos G. · Houston, TX · 31 months owned

Would buy again

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the fuel economy still impresses passengers.

★★★★☆Priya M. · Denver, CO · 9 months owned

Second one we've owned

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Andre H. · Tampa, FL · 14 months owned

Better than the test drive suggested

We cross-shopped three others and this won on fuel economy. road noise on the highway is the trade-off.
