FIAT announced the brand’s next drop for the all-electric 500e, the new Fiat 500e Inspired By Los Angeles model. Joining the (500e)RED edition and the Inspired By Beauty and Inspired By Music models, the new 500e Inspired By Los Angeles brings another unique variation to the all-electric 500e, one influenced by an iconic west coast American metropolis, the City of Angels.
The only drop that wears the cool, mystic shade of Marine Layer Mist, the Inspired By Los Angeles model is named after the Southern California coastal marine layer that results from air masses of different temperatures and densities interacting, a natural phenomenon from May through June that gives the City of Angels a magical and complex feel, much like the Marine Layer Mist paint color.
Exterior design features include matte gray mirror caps and black daylight opening (DLO) molding. On the inside, style meets comfort with beige eco-leather seats, soft-touch steering wheel and body-color instrument panel. An exceptional JBL seven-speaker amplified audio system with subwoofer comes standard, featuring four Virtual Venues handpicked by Italian Maestro Andrea Bocelli. The Virtual Venues change the acoustic characteristics of the cabin, depending on the chosen location, transporting passengers to unique listening environments.
The Inspired By Los Angeles model features standard Level 2 active driving system, which combines adaptive cruise control and Lane Keep Assist to assist the driver on select roads. The Fiat 500e is the only all-electric car in its segment to offer Level 2, hands-on driver assist technology.
The lightest passenger BEV in the market, the 500e boasts an estimated range of 149 miles (240 kilometers), enabled by a 42-KWh battery with a Level 2 (11 kW) charge time of six hours. BEV capability combined with quintessential design cues make it unmistakably FIAT, with style and sustainability at its core.
Every Fiat 500e includes FIAT telematics with three years of real-time Fiat 500e smartphone app connectivity.
On the road, the 500e boasts 117 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, reaching 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds, providing excellent performance while managing range.
Every Fiat 500e includes a Level 2 charging wall unit or charge credits through Free2move Charge to ease the transition to electrification. Free2move is Stellantis’ 360-degree ecosystem, delivering seamless charging and energy management to address all electric-vehicle customer needs.
The 500e handily tackles the common concern of charge time using an 85-kW fast charger system in which five minutes of charge time translates to a range of up to 31 miles (50 kilometers), more than what’s needed for average daily use. The 500e includes an 11-kW AC-DC on-board charger for easy charging at home or on the road, which can be scheduled ahead of time through Uconnect or the Uconnect mobile app. Estimated charge time from 0-80% is approximately 35 minutes with an 85-kW DC fast charge; estimated time from 0-100% is six hours with a Level 2 (11-kW) charging station.
Pricing for Inspired By Los Angeles, featuring standard JBL audio system and Level 2 active driving assist system (ADAS), starts at $36,000, not including $1,595 destination
The 500e Inspired By Los Angeles model arrives in FIAT showrooms in North America starting in the third quarter of 2024.
