The Inspired By models introduce a Level 2 active driving assist system (ADAS) to the Fiat 500e in North America, a first for a vehicle in this segment. This system includes adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.

The 500e has a 42-KWh battery, providing an estimated range of 149 miles. It features user-friendly controls, a responsive driving experience, and a unique sound signature. The vehicle comes with three years of FIAT telematics.

The inclusion of fast charging capabilities and a Level 2 charging solution aims to address common electric vehicle adoption concerns, facilitating a more accessible transition to electric vehicles. The 500e supports fast charging.

The Fiat 500e Inspired By models are slated for release in FIAT showrooms in North America in the third quarter of 2024.

Kvetcha are there any suspension tuning differences between the CX-70 and CX-90? I assume the weight difference is pretty minor (under 100lbs, I think), but I'm curious if the vehicle itself will drive any differently.
Bd2 Hyundai's budding F1 program would welcome him.
Michael S6 I am the biggest critic of American car industry with its emphasis on marketing and selling massive gas hogging Trucks and Suv's.However, China is an authoritarian country that suppress its population and support countries such as Russia and North Korea. it's part of axis of countries that opposses USA in every way possible. Thus I will never buy a Chineses car (even if built by Grovel Motors or other two local clowns). I agree that we must keep the Chinese EV invasion at bay.
TheMrFreeze The American auto industry is the last large vestige of our once great industrial power...a nation like ours NEEDS industrial power of this type to survive. Case in point, at the beginning of the pandemic, when PPE and ventilators were desperately needed and our only source was China, it was the US automakers who quickly pivoted to start manufacturing them. No other industry in this country has the skill or manufacturing capabilities to do that.When you take this into consideration, plus the fact that Chinese automakers are financially supported by the CCP while US automakers function as fully free market entities, I have zero problem with a huge tariff being placed on Chinese vehicles to level the playing field. I do think, however, that the government then has the right to "remind" the Big 3 that it's now up to them to provide the affordable vehicles to fill the void the Chinese would have filled.
Fahrvergnugen Don't knock the Chinese so loudly. They are listening, and reading everything, keeping Naughty and Nice lists.
