2025 Fiat 600e interior, design and features review

What is it?

The Fiat 600e is a compact family car on a budget, sitting on Stellantis' e-CMP platform. It's a crossover of sorts and comes in just one version with 51 kWh usable battery capacity.

There are just two trim levels: RED and La Prima. The La Prima offers a few extra features and different styling for the interior.

Fiat tried to create a compact family vehicle that's still spacious inside. It also squeezed a generous range out of the rather small 51 kWh battery and starts at $36,612. Not the worst prospect then.

Who is it for?

As mentioned, the vehicle is aimed at small families on a tight budget. Despite its price and compact size, the Fiat 600e is perfectly suitable for moderately long trips, too. According to WLTP data, the 600e can run for 254 miles away from the plug. So it can serve for mixed usage, not just intracity trips.

Give me the technical stuff

Fiat 600e at a glance:

• Dimensions: 164.5 inches x 70 inches x 60 inches, 100.7 inches wheelbase.
• Drivetrains available: 51 kWh - FWD 115 kW (156 hp), 192 lb-ft.
• Charging: 100 kW CCS, 20-80% in 27 min.
• Range: 254 miles.
• Weight: up to 3,351 lb
• Trunk: EU: 360 l, no frunk

What's great about it?

Perhaps the most important thing about this car is that it's extremely easy and comfortable to drive. Inflated as WLTP might be there just aren't many competitors that offer 249 miles+ range on a single charge in this price range.

The car also drives surprisingly smoothly for a vehicle with such a modest wheelbase. It's certainly not good for anyone that values spirited driving, but it can take you around the city in comfort its size wouldn't suggest.

While the seating space isn't overly generous it can still still fit four adults in moredetate comfort and there's a decent 12.7 ft³ boot with a flat floor. It is easy to load, and for a car of this size, the capacity is actually generous.

The surprises don't stop there. Despite its budget-oriented nature, the Fiat 600e's interior feels nice. Fiat opted for good materials where it matters.

Best of all, the frequently used controls are large, physical buttons. There are also many compartments and a wireless charging pad for your phone.

What's not that good?

Taller people will have a hard time fitting in. Sure, it may be a bit more roomy than some similarly-sized crossovers, but it's not a big car by any stretch.

Then there's the infotainment screen. It's a very weird aspect ratio - too wide and short. When navigating via Google Maps, you can see the map left and right, but not many details are shown on your way forward.

Which version to get?

The Fiat 600e comes in two trims: RED and La Prima. The La Prima swaps out the fabric seats for synthetic leather with heating options, a larger instrument cluster, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and a reversing camera.

You also get lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition and autonomous driving Level 2 features. Other notable extras are the 18-inch alloy wheels, semi-automatic parking features and a wireless pad for charging your smartphone.

You get all of these features for an additional $4,400, which seems like a good value and it's certainly what we'd opt for.
