Our verdict

The electric FIAT 600e achieves remarkable results in the sustainability assessment. The small EV impresses with high powertrain efficiency and its life cycle impact benefits from its low mass and moderate battery size.

...
  • The FIAT 600e has no tailpipe emissions and low tyre, brake, and production- and fuel supply-related emissions due to its compact size and efficiency.
  • It features a low-consuming powertrain and efficient heating, maintaining impressive energy performance even in cold and highway conditions.
  • It achieves top marks for greenhouse gas emissions, showing low life cycle climate impact thanks to its small size, smart design and high overall efficiency.

While it can be expected that a car with a relatively low mass and moderate battery capacity will score in the non-usage life cycle phases, the FIAT 600e surprised with a very low electricity consumption in all tests. The measurement figures are notably better than those of many other vehicles of the same class.

9.6 10 Clean Air

With no tailpipe emissions and scoring highly for tyre and brake abrasion, the FIAT is awarded excellent results in this part of the investigations. Due to the compact dimensions, lightweight and low consumption, the emissions associated to production processes and supply of energy are also low.
