The world’s leading men’s magazine awarded the City Car of the Year 500 at the GQ Car Award 2022 at the GQ Car Award 2022 award ceremony. This is the 25th prize for this all-electric FIAT model, which made its world debut last year.
Already in the fourteenth “GQ” Car Award, the jury paid special attention to electric cars. GQ experts looked at cars that would inspire and make every driver’s heart beat faster while retaining the car’s essential features. The new fully electric FIAT 500e met this criterion.
Receiving the award from such an internationally recognized edition is a truly significant event in the success story of the FIAT 500e. In the new model, designers and engineers have not only combined the glorious past and core values of the 65-year-old model, but also paved the way for sustainable alternatives to urban mobility. The iconic third-generation FIAT 500 stands out with its modern design, affordable price and is a true symbol of sustainable mobility. Designed, constructed and manufactured at FIAT’s home in Turin, once again demonstrating the manufacturer’s power to win the hearts of the city’s inhabitants.

The GQ lifestyle edition was captivated by the charm, lightweight operation and classic design of the new electric FIAT 500e. According to the jury, all these elements fit perfectly into a romantic city car, which, even 65 years later, continues to evoke waves of admiration.
Of the refurbished retro models on the streets, the legendary FIAT 500e is by far the best. Romantic and reliable city car model. If there’s a more attractive way to travel around the city than the FIAT 500e, we haven’t found it. This new version embodies complete relaxation and carefree.

The new FIAT 500e’s sustainable philosophy is not just reflected in the electric motor. Durability is also reflected in the car’s interior – the interior materials and seat upholstery are made of polyester, which is made from recycled plastic collected at sea and on land.
The FIAT 500e, which debuted in European markets last year, travels up to 320 kilometers on a full battery. The new Italian electric car reaches 50 km / h in 3.1 seconds and has a power output of 87 kW. The charging system installed in this vehicle speeds up the charging time – after 5 minutes of charging, it is able to travel the optimal distance in the city – 50 kilometers. It only takes 30 to 35 minutes to charge an electric car battery up to 80 percent.
