'All my city', the song signed by Equipe 84 once said. Today, the text could be adapted to the soundtrack of the New 500 3 + 1 Elettrica, which ANSA Motori tested on the streets of the Milanese metropolis, with some concessions to extra-urban roads, but in moderation, because the favorite environment of the little Fiat house, a timeless icon that is renewed in form and technology through the ages, are the city streets.

Agile, snappy and small, like a small town it must be, with the addition of the 'third door, useful on many occasions, for those who do not travel alone.

Look at the photos

Fiat 500 3 + 1 electric

    'La Dolce Vita' yes, but electrified, because the latest generation 500 has also arrived on the market with an electric motor.

Little or nothing in common, with the exception of the name, with the other 500. More modern, refined and above all built on a special platform.

The peculiarity of the 3 + 1 version, which we tested, is the 'small' additional door well camouflaged in the right side, which opens once the front door is opened and facilitates access to the sofa, approved for two, certainly not large but more than enough, for example, to accommodate a child seat.

In this case, if the child in question has already grown, it is best to pull the passenger seat forward.

    Inside, a small sitting room.

For the seats of the car under test, for example, Seaqual was used, which is a sustainable fabric made from recycled polyester yarns.

The references to the other 500 are evident, as for the elliptical dashboard, embellished with a 'woven' style upholstery, or for the circular dashboard.

The digital instrumentation is clear and configurable.

The screen for the overhanging multimedia system on the dashboard is very clear and valid: fast, intuitive and modern in graphics.

The organization in widgets (mobile icons to access the commands) makes it configurable, with the possibility of showing more information at a time.

    The new 500 3 + 1 we tested can count on the thrust of 118 HP and on a lithium-ion battery placed under the floor, with an effective 37.3 kWh.

However, the 'three-door' is also available in a less expensive version with 95 horsepower and a 21.8 kWh battery.

In terms of recharging, which we have always carried out from public columns, with the AC connector the car accepts up to 11 kW and just under three and a half hours are enough to recover 80% of the energy.

At the 'fast' charging points in direct current, on the other hand, up to 85 kW can be loaded, going from 0 to 80% in about forty minutes.

Time for a breakfast, a snack, a few pages from a good book or some backlog to recover maybe sitting in the car.
