2024 Model Redesign Year

This cheeky minicar returned to the U.S. market in 2024 as one of the very few low-cost EVs available. It's a stylish city runabout, but it only managed 145 miles in our 70-mph highway-range test. That's short by today's standards, though workable as an urban commuter. Home charging is relatively quick, but public DC fast charging is limited to 85 kW. The little Fiat is zippy off the line, but acceleration peters out at higher speeds.

We like that the taut suspension keeps body roll to a minimum, but the steering is too light and devoid of feedback, and the ride is stiff and choppy. Wind and road noise get excessive. The controls are a mishmash of simple and complicated. The rear seat is very tight and awkward to get into. Given the limited rear and side visibility, it's too bad that BSW and RCTW are not available on the base trim; they come standard on higher trims.
