Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 FIAT 500e is mostly a carryover, with standard heated front seats as the main change. It also gains a front-passenger armrest and auto-shift-to-park, while its battery, electric motor, charging hardware, and styling remain unchanged.
About the 2014 FIAT 500e
1st-generation North American 500e (2013-2019), second model year, before the later 500 family refresh.
FIAT positioned the 500e as a city-size electric hatch that kept the brand’s Italian style and playful driving feel instead of looking like a science project. The pitch was simple: zero-emission commuting, easy parking, quick low-speed response, and personality that stood out from more appliance-like early EVs. In the U.S. market, it was aimed squarely at short daily trips and urban use rather than family hauling or long-distance travel.
FIAT sold the 2014 500e as one well-equipped electric hatch focused on city commuting, distinctive styling, and quick electric response. Its signature equipment includes a 111-hp electric drive, a 24-kWh battery, a 7-inch digital driver display, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, and an aerodynamic body kit.
