Nobody wants stock hanging around that’s not selling. That has been a problem for local new vehicle importers since the CCD subsidy on EVs ended and RUCs kicked in. It’s also why those bringing in EVs from Peugeot, Opel, Volkswagen, Skoda, MG, GWM, Cupra, Nissan and Ford have lopped heaps off the prices of their remaining stock.
Now Fiat and Abarth are the latest brands to slash tens of thousands of dollars from the RRPs of their unsold EVs.
The Ateco Group updated the price lists for the Fiat 500e and the Abarth 500e recently. Some models are $35,000 less expensive.
The Fiat 500e Pop is now priced at $34,990, a reduction of $25,000 from its previous list price of $59,990. It is now one of the most affordable electric vehicles on the market.
New pricing for the Fiat 500e Icon is $36,990, a reduction of $28,000 from its previous list price of $64,990.
The two Abarth 500e models are discounted by $35,000. An Abarth 500e will set you back $39,990 (was $74,990). Meantime, the Abarth 500e Scorpionissima is now $41,990 (was $76,990).
The Ateco Group says prices for the ICE power Fiat 500 models remain unchanged. Discounts on the electric vehicles only apply to the remaining stock.
