Today, 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.
"Los Angeles's special
combination of 'La Dolce Vita' beach lifestyle, iconic car
culture and high adoption of BEVs means it's the ideal inspiration
for our next 500e drop," said Aamir
Ahmed, head of FIAT North America. "The new Fiat 500e
Inspired By Los Angeles reflects both Italian heritage, with its
classic cinquecento design theme and made-in-Turin origin, and Angeleno culture, reflected
in its Marine Layer Mist color and urban mission."
Inspired By Los Angeles
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.
Inspired By Los Angeles key features:
- Exclusive Marine Layer exterior
paint
- Black daylight opening trim
- Matte grey mirror caps
- Body-color instrument panel
- 17-inch machined diamond-cut alloy wheels with summer or
all-season tires
- Seven-speaker JBL amplified audio system with subwoofer
Level 2 ADAS
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 BEV Experience
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.
The Fiat 500e is exceptionally intuitive with no need for
instructions, fun to drive and friendly. It even sings. Welcoming
passengers with a digital melody, the 500e sets the tone for an
immersive Italian experience. In addition, the acoustic vehicle
alert system (AVAS) "sings" to pedestrians with a song titled, "The
Sound of 500," authored by Flavio Ibba-Marco Gualdi. The exclusive
melody provides a taste of Italian culture during the first moments
of every drive.
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.
The 500e Inspired By Los Angeles model arrives in FIAT showrooms
in North America starting in the
third quarter of 2024.
