Fiat isn’t wasting any time fleshing out its all-electric 600e lineup. Hot on the heels of the 600 Hybrid launch, the brand has rolled out a new mid-spec trim called the 600e Icon, designed to sit neatly between the value-driven 600e (RED) and the range-topping La Prima.

The Icon treatment adds a healthy dose of style and tech for not much more money. Standard kit includes 17-inch diamond-cut alloys, two-tone Black-and-Ivory fabric seats, and an upgraded driver-assist suite with front and rear parking sensors plus a 180-degree reversing camera. Fiat also bakes in satellite navigation, wireless smartphone charging, and the convenience of keyless entry and push-button start.

Under the skin, the 600e Icon doesn’t mess with the proven formula. Every version of the 600e is powered by a 115-kW (154-hp) electric motor delivering 260 Nm of torque to the front wheels. The result is a respectable 0–62 mph time of 9.0 seconds, right in the sweet spot for a city-friendly crossover. Three drive modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—allow drivers to dial in their preferred balance of efficiency and responsiveness.

The real story, however, is range. Thanks to a 54-kWh lithium-ion pack, the 600e can cover over 250 miles on the WLTP combined cycle and stretch to 375 miles in urban conditions. That makes it versatile enough for weekday commutes and weekend getaways without range anxiety creeping in.

Pricing is equally smartly positioned. The new Icon comes in at £31,535, only £1500 above the entry-level (RED) and just shy of the £33,035 La Prima. Better yet, all trims qualify for Fiat’s recently revived E-Grant incentive, which knocks £1500 off the sticker for retail customers.

In short, the 600e Icon might just be the Goldilocks pick of the range: a compact EV that’s stylish, well-equipped, and practical without straying into luxury-car money. For buyers flirting with the idea of going electric but unwilling to compromise on everyday usability, Fiat’s latest trim level could be the sweet spot.
