Fiat adds new mid-range Icon trim to 600e line-up
Fiat has introduced a new mid-range Icon trim to its all-electric 600e line-up, with order books opening on September 01.
Priced from £31,535, the Fiat 600e Icon costs £1,500 more than the entry-level RED, and £1,500 less than the 600e family’s top-tier La Prima trim. As with the rest of the 600e and 500e range, the Icon’s price does not include Fiat’s own £1,500 E-Grant, which it introduced as a response to the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant (ECG) in July ths year.
The 600e Icon gets the same 54kWh battery, 154bhp output, and WLTP-rated 250-mile range as all other 600es, but builds on the already-generous equipment levels of the base model. Alongside addition to cruise control, automatic climate control, a synthetic leather steering wheel and keyless go, the Icon version gets front and rear parking sensors, a 180-degree rear-view camera, a wireless smartphone charger, plus integrated satnav on the cabin’s 10.5-inch touchscreen.
In design terms, the Fiat 600e Icon comes with 17-inch diamond-cut alloys, and two-tone black and ivory-coloured fabric seats.
The Fiat 600e Icon is the latest in a line of small, all-electric crossovers introduced by parent company Stellantis – the latest of which is the Vauxhall/Opel Mokka GSE, a hot version of the Mokka. This performance-focused take on the compact SUV shares its front-mounted limited slip differential and 276bhp powertrain with the Abarth 600e and Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce. Closer to home, Fiat recently announced the price of its new, all-electric Grande Panda for the UK market.
When it hits UK showrooms on September 04 this year, the entry-level RED Grande Panda – riding on 16-inch white steelies – will be priced from £21,035 before Fiat’s in-house E-Grant is applied. La Prima models – again without the £1,500 price cut – will start from just under £24,000.
