CAR magazine's full review of the new - and all-electric – Fiat 500e
There’s a permanent button for the heated seat controls on the touchscreen as like with most new model released these days, most of the physical buttons have been moved to the touchscreen. There’s a tiny bit of lag when navigating around the infotainment system, and curiously this is present in some of the remaining hard buttons and switches too, which sometimes need more than one press to activate.
Steering remains one-finger light, perfect for tight manoeuvres, and there’s a small amount of well-controlled bodyroll, which makes the car feel confident and agile but not overly stiff. It’s also really fun to pilot, with loads of grip and predictable handling that inspires you to dive into closing gaps the way only a wheel-in-each-corner city car can. The ride on 17-inch wheels is actually pretty good, and well suited to broken and cracked urban tarmac.
Talking of batteries, you can choose between a 23.7 or 42kWh unit depending on which range you opt for, and both are made by Samsung and hidden under the floor. So the driving position is typical Fiat 500 – i.e, too high.
