Fiat 500e (Progetto 332). 2020 to date (prod. n/a). 3- and 4-door saloon, 2-door cabriolet. F/F, 23·8, 42 kWh electric. New-generation 500 sits on a new platform, with electric-only powertrain. Longer (61 mm, with 22 mm more in the wheelbase), wider (by 56 mm) and taller (up 29 mm). Slightly roomier though seating not that comfortable, light steering befitting its urban status, and far better ride, making the 500 competitive in the B-segment again. Four-door model actually one with a tiny side door on the passenger’s side, shown October 2020.
