The all-new 2024 Fiat 600e has been uncovered ahead of the battery-electric compact SUV’s European launch later this year.
Developed alongside the Jeep Avenger, the EV replacement for the Fiat 500X is based on the same Stellantis e-CMP2 architecture.
Revealed in a video posted to the Italian car-maker’s YouTube channel, the Fiat 600e shares a variety of design cues with the Fiat 500e micro-hatch, including headlights and honeycomb grille treatment.
Shown with a white body colour, designers have used contrasting black paint for the rear spoiler, door mirrors and sills.
We’re still to get a full look at the 600e inside, with only a quick glimpse provided of the new fully digital instrument cluster and a large centrally mounted infotainment screen that looks shared with the small 500e hatch and is expected to provide wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Sharing the Jeep Avenger’s powertrain, expect the Fiat 600e to come with a 51kWh (usable) lithium-ion battery that will provide for a WLTP-verified range of more than 400km.
Charging speed should be up to 100kW.
Driving the Fiat 600e will be a single electric motor that is expected to produce 115kW and 260Nm of torque, providing for a 0-100km/h dash in around 9.0 seconds.
As well as the zero-emissions 600e, Fiat is also expected to produce a combustion version of the new compact SUV that will be badged the Fiat 600.
That compact SUV will be powered by a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine.
It’s still not known when exactly Fiat will officially launch the 600 and 600e, but expect it to head Down Under after the first wave in European orders in similar fashion to the 500e.
Expect more to be revealed in the coming weeks in the build-up to the Fiat 500’s 65th anniversary on July 4.
