Surprisingly: electric Fiat 500e also gets ‘suicide’ doors | Car


Fiat today unveiled the full range of the new all-electric 500e. The 500th convertible and hatchback have already been shown. Now we also see the surprising 3 + 1 that gets ‘suicide’ doors as we know them from Mini, Mazda and Rolls-Royce. The side doors swing open (on one side of the car) in the opposite direction of rotation.

The latest model has the same dimensions as the regular convertible and hatchback versions, but the difference is in the small third door on the passenger side. It opens to the rear, just like the first Fiat 500 in 1957. With the advantage of the lack of a center pillar, so that you can get in more easily, load luggage or place your child in the back seat. Once the door is closed there is no difference with the other models.

The latest version does bring an extra weight of 30 kg, but according to the manufacturer, this has no effect on driving behavior or power consumption. For safety reasons, the ‘small third door’ can only be opened when the front door is already open, so the rear passenger cannot accidentally open it. The 500 3 + 1 is not really cheap: it is in the price list from € 30,600.

Entry-level model

The entry-level model of the new all-electric 500e will be the 500e Action. This is from € 24,900 in the Dutch price list. It has a 70 kW electric motor, good for an acceleration from 0-100 km / h in 9.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 135 km / h. Its lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 23.8 kWh, good for a range of 180 km. A 50 kW fast charging system is also on board. The car can be charged with the supplied Mode 2 (3 kW) cable. The ‘Combo 2’ connection on the right rear screen is suitable for fast charging, with AC or DC power. For charging at home or in public, there are options available as a three-phase 11 kW Mode 3 cable or a Wallbox (from Mopar).

Passion en Icon

The ‘middle versions’ of the 500e are called Passion and Icon. They have different trim levels, but both have a significantly longer range of 320 km and can fast charge 85 kW, so that up to 80 percent of the range can be charged in 35 minutes. The electric motor has a power of 87 kW and delivers a top speed of 150 km / h (limited). The Passion is in the Dutch price lists from € 28,600 and the Icon costs at least € 30,600.
