While Fiat has remained tight-lipped about the precise technical specifications of the forthcoming 600e B-SUV, industry whispers hint at a connection to the new Jeep Avenger and other vehicles within the Stellantis group that share a similar size and stature.
At first glance, the Fiat 600e exudes familiarity, reminiscent of its sibling, the Fiat 500. However, a closer inspection reveals subtle enhancements that give it a distinct edge. The rounded headlamps and daytime running lights retain their charm, while the ‘600’ emblem graces the front bumper, sporting robust 18-inch wheels and striking black-plastic cladding.

Although the body bears the prominent ‘600’ badge, it is essential to note that the vehicle officially goes by the name 600e. This nomenclature draws parallels with the Fiat 500e hatchback, aptly signifying its all-electric powertrain. It is crucial to clarify that the Fiat 600e does not aim to replace its slightly larger counterpart, the 500X. Rumours, however, suggest that the 500X may find its place in the compact segment with its next iteration, thus ensuring separate positioning within Fiat’s diverse vehicle lineup.
Stepping inside the cabin, occupants are greeted by a minimalist design, exemplified by a circular digital instrument cluster and a prominent freestanding infotainment display. The interior of the Fiat 600e exudes an ambience of refined simplicity, providing passengers with a comfortable and technologically immersive experience.

The eagerly awaited Fiat 600e is expected to house a single electric motor capable of producing approximately 115 kW of power and 260 N.m of torque. Its vigour will likely be powered by a 54 kWh battery pack, efficiently supplying the necessary juice to drive the electric drivetrain. Unveiled under the night sky in Turin, Italy, this five-door, five-seater marvel truly embodies the essence of Italian craftsmanship. With the 115 kW electric motor propelling it forward, the Fiat 600e is anticipated to achieve 0-100 km/h in 9,0 seconds.
