FIAT has celebrated a double success at the prestigious Auto Express Used Car Awards 2025, with the 500e winning the City Car category and receiving a commendation in the Electric Car category.
The Auto Express Used Car Awards combine expert product knowledge from the publication's test team with real-world owner insight from the industry-leading Driver Power survey to identify models that offer the best value for money and all-round experience for used car buyers.
The 500e's victory recognises its blend of iconic Italian design, efficient electric performance, and urban practicality. With affordable examples now carrying barely 10,000 miles, the award highlights the model's appeal as an accessible entry point into electric vehicle ownership.
Paul Barker, editor of Auto Express commented: “The Fiat 500e is an excellent small electric car, and as a used car it offers buyers a great value, chic and fashionable little city car. The Auto Express Awards are based on the views of our expert test team and feedback from owners via our industry leading Driver Power survey. We love the 500e, and it's a very deserving winner in the 2025 City Car category.”
Launched in 2020, the 500e quickly established itself as Europe's leading electric city car. Conceived and crafted in Turin, the 500e embodies Italian design and innovation, and with multiple awards to its name, including What Car? ‘Best Small Electric Car for the City 2024’ and EcoCar ‘Best Electric City Car 2024’, it is the most celebrated FIAT model in history.
“We are delighted that the Fiat 500e has won the best City Car category.” said Victoria Hatfield, marketing director of FIAT UK.
“The 500 has always been the quintessential city car, and the electric 500e continues this proud heritage whilst offering zero-emissions driving for the modern urban environment. These awards reflect the growing appreciation for the 500e among used car buyers who are discovering that sustainable mobility doesn't mean compromising on style, character, or driving enjoyment.”
The Fiat 500e features excellent electric capability with an output of up to 87 kW (118hp) and acceleration from 0-62 mph in 9.0 seconds. A choice of lithium-ion battery capacity, 24 or 42 kWh, gives the 500e a range of up to 199 miles in the WLTP combined cycle, making it ideal for daily city use.
