The new all-electric Fiat 600

After discontinuing the production of the Fiat 600 more than a decade ago, the Italian car manufacturer Fiat has unveiled an electric successor to the popular city car.

At first glance, the exterior design resembles the electric model 500e. However, the new Seicento, which is 4.17 meters long, brings with it an airy and spacious passenger cabin for five people as well as a luggage space of 360 liters. Inside, the 7-inch digital instrument panel and 10.25-inch display stand out.

When it comes to the powertrain, the car will be powered by an electric motor with 156 hp (115 kW), which is enough for the crossover to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9 seconds. Also, a hybrid version was announced, which should be available from the middle of next year.

The new Fiat 600 is equipped with a 54 kWh battery, which is sufficient for a range of over 400 kilometers, while when used only in the city, one charge should provide more than 600 kilometers. It takes less than 30 minutes to charge the battery up to 80 percent on 100-kilowatt chargers.

The price could be a negative surprise considering that this city car costs 35,950 euros, and in combination with the La Prima equipment package, 40,950 euros. That’s significantly more expensive than the Nissan Leaf, which costs around 25,000 euros.

Aehra Sedan

The production of electric cars is on the rise, so more and more startup companies are coming to the market to present their cars. One of them is Aehra, which last year presented its first EV called an SUV, and now the Aehra Sedan is coming from their workshop.

The car is extremely spacious thanks to short overhangs, long wheelbase and completely flat floor. It has double-falcon doors, and shares the same design language as the SUV, and is built on the same platform. Also, what is common to both models is the battery, developed in partnership with Miba Battery Systems, which enables a range of 800 kilometers.

Inside, the unique full-dashboard-width HMI (Human Machine Interface) screen is the first thing you notice when you enter the luxurious cabin. It provides an exceptional atmosphere where passengers can relax and enjoy the ride. There is also an oblong-shaped steering wheel with an Aehra logo.

Definitely, Aehra brings something new that is quite simply unmatched by any other vehicle in the class. It will arrive on the market in 2026.
