Hot car deal: high-spec Fiat 500 EV for £180 a month

If you’re in the market for a superb all-electric city car, then the Fiat 500e will certainly fit the bill. Stylish and full of Italian flair, the dinky EV offers a useful real-world range, while the much improved on-board tech just adds to its appeal. Perfect for driving in and around town, the 500e was our Best Small Electric Car for 2023, where we praised its smooth and efficient electric powertrain, upmarket interior and slick infotainment set-up, while its perky performance just rounds off an incredibly capable small car package.

What’s so good about this Fiat 500e deal? 

This deal from Applied Leasing lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £2,164.44, then monthly payments of £180.37 over a three-year term. You can increase the agreed mileage allowance if you need to, with a 10,000 limit meaning you’ll pay £196.60 a month, with an extra couple of hundred pounds added to the deposit amount.

What’s particularly great about this deal is that it’s for the high-spec 500e La Prima model, which includes 17-inch alloys, LED headlights, a rear parking camera, a fixed panoramic sunroof, heated seats, a JBL premium audio system and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with integrated sat-nav.

Power comes from a 42kWh battery, with a single electric motor driving the front wheels. Its 116bhp propels the small EV from 0-62mph in nine seconds, while Fiat claims you should see up to 199 miles of range on a mixture of roads. If you have a 11kW home charger fitted then you’ll be able to replenish the 500’s battery from 0-100% in around two and a half hours – perfect for the next urban adventure.

What’s so good about the Fiat 500e?

The Fiat 500 has really benefited, possibly more than most rivals, from a switch to electric power. Life as an EV fits the small Italian car like a dream, and it’s the ideal companion for in-town driving. With the generous specification of the La Prima model and its appealing low monthly cost, it’s a deal we can wholeheartedly recommend.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
