The New 500 has received another award in the United Kingdom, this time being named “Convertible of the Year” and “Best Small electric car for the city” by What Car? magazine in its “Car of the Year 2021” awards. The jury praised the New 500's handling, driving style, range, price and refreshed interiors, conferring on it their “Convertible of the Year” award. It is also the first electric car to be named as such in the magazine’s history.
The New 500 is FCA’s first full-electric model and boasts numerous top-of-the-range features. For instance, the 42-kW battery guarantees extended range, up to 320 km in the WLTP cycle, increasing to 450 km in the urban cycle, and comes with an 85-kW battery charger as standard in both the Passion and Icon versions.
