2017 FIAT 500e Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners appreciate the Fiat 500e for its fun handling, good energy efficiency, and compact size, making it great for city driving and as an entry-level electric car. However, many drivers pointed out the limited range, small cargo space, and lack of features like a backup camera and sunroof as drawbacks."
It’s not a luxury car but buying this in 2024 as a beat around town car it’s perfect. As a second practical short range electric highly recommend it. It’s arguably not the best in its class but it’s zippy and undeniably fun to drive. The 2017 has a back up beeper but lacks some modern (as of 2025) safety features like a back up camera or blind spot detection.
June 13, 2025Great little entry level electric car. Had my 2017 fiat for 2 years and its been good so far. Great little commuter car that will save you a lot of money. My previous electric car was a 2015 chey spark, which I loved...... But it was totaled by a deer. The fiat didnt have as many features, but it was $3,000-4,000 less than the Chevy. Again, the fiat is a great entry level electric car that wont disappoint.
June 6, 2023Great in town car. About 80 miles per charge so I would recommend for a multi car family. Would not recommend backseat for tall people since there is a battery in back floorboard. If you fold back seat down you’d be surprised how much stuff you can fit back there. Car has great pickup and goes fast when you need it to. Love not wasting money on gas. Have not noticed an increase in utility bill since charging at home. I got a $7500 tax return on my 2020 taxes from IRS. Practically paid for the car.

September 23, 2021Good ride, handles great, and at great price! However, the range is less than ideal, it has no backup camera, and the rear seat and trunks are really small. Those are important factors for me.
July 27, 2020If it only had a sunroof, it would be ideal. Great handling, reasonably quick, great braking. This is a car designed for 2 people-ignore the rear seat but its a great cargo area. They should have done what SMART did: delete the back seat altogether. BTW, this is a predicament of the 500electric only, the regular gas car has more legroom supposedly. Super fast charging, too.
March 21, 2021Neat little car. They handle great, have plenty of pep, and are incredibly energy efficient!
July 3, 2021It’s small, reliable and fun to drive. I recommend it!!
