Fiat Launching New 500e, Announces 500 Giardiniera Electric Wagon
Fiat will also launch hybrid versions of the 500X and 500L.
Fiat didn't get its own dedicated presentation during FCA's recent conference like the ones for Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Jeep, and Ram, but Sergio Marchionne still made some electrifying announcements about the Italian brand. A new generation of the 500e is on the way, and it even gets a wagon variant that revives the Giardiniera nameplate.
The new 500e and Giardiniera will use FCA's new electric powertrain that will specifically be for small city cars, but the company won't disclose the specs for it yet. The wagon will likely have five doors, unlike the three-door original, and it'll have best-in-class interior volume, according to Sergio Marchionne.
Fiat will also electrify the 500X and 500L by adding hybrid powertrains to them. Once again, Marchionne didn't reveal any specs for these new models, and he didn't discuss a debut date for them, either.
