Fiat will again battle in the highly profitable crossover segment with this, the new 600-an electric successor to the 500X set to take on the Kia Niro EV and Jeep Avenger.
Sharing much of its Jeep sibling's hardware, including the e-CMP2 platform, the Italian crossover draws power from a 54kWh (51kWh usable capacity) battery, which matches the Avenger's 249-mile range. A single motor sends 154bhp and 192lb ft to the front wheels.
The 600 will not be offered with a combustion powertrain and is only available in five-door form.
The bulbous Fiat is geared towards families and offers 360 litres of boot space - more than the upcoming Volvo EX30 it will go up against- and "best-in-class front storage", although the firm has yet to disclose the capacity of the 'frunk'.
