Fiat has introduced their latest product drop, which is the 500e Inspired By Los Angeles. It’s a not so special, special edition which will set you back $36,000 before a $1,595 destination fee.
The new trim edition does have a few unique touches including an exclusive Marine Layer Mist paint job. Its silver-ish hue is “named after the Southern California coastal marine layer that results from air masses of different temperatures and densities interacting, a natural phenomenon from May through June that gives the City of Angels a magical and complex feel.”

Besides the special paint job, the LA Edition has matte gray mirror caps and black window trim. They’re joined by 17-inch alloy wheels, which can be wrapped in either summer or all-season tires.
Moving inside, there’s a two-tone interior with beige eco-leather seats and a “soft-touch” steering wheel. Buyers will also find body-color trim and a seven-speaker JBL audio system with a subwoofer.
They should be joined by a wireless smartphone charger, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Fiat also said the model comes standard with a Level 2 semi-autonomous driving system that combines adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist.
Like the previous 500e product drops, the Inspired By Los Angeles has a 42 kWh battery that powers an electric motor developing 117 hp (87 kW / 119 PS) and 162 lb-ft (219 Nm) of torque. This setup enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 8.5 seconds, hit an estimated top speed of 94 mph (151 km/h), and travel up to 149 miles (240 km) on a single charge.
The EV will arrive at U.S. dealerships in the third quarter and become the fourth product drop overall.
