Personality-driven EV for city slickers
If you’re looking for an electric vehicle that doesn’t skimp on style, you might love the 2018 Fiat 500e. The two-door electric hatchback packs a lot of personality into a pint-size package with its vivid exterior paint colors, toy-like body shape, and round headlights that instantly charm onlookers. You can squeeze this car into tight parking spaces and weave in and out of traffic seamlessly, thanks to its nimble handling. Backing up is easy as well, now that the 2018 model comes equipped with a standard rearview camera.
