- Fiat dealers are offering huge discounts on the slow-selling 500e.
- If you know where to look, you can score more than $15,000 in savings.
- It’s almost May, but Fiat still hasn’t introduced a 2026 500e yet.
Fiat’s return to America was anything but triumphant, but things have only gotten worse since then. While the brand once offered an assortment of models including an underrated 124 Spider, they’re down to a single EV.
This was always going to be an uphill battle, but the situation has gotten significantly worse since the elimination of the federal tax credit. A quick look at the sales chart reveals a brutal first quarter where the 500e found a mere 68 buyers.

That’s less than one per day and 23 per month. Things were so bad that the electric hatchback was outsold by the 500X, which was killed off in 2023.
A quick search online suggests dealers have over 100 units in stock and that’s roughly five months worth of supply. Given this, it’s not surprising there are huge discounts on 2024 and 2025 models.
The cheapest car appears to be a 2024 500e INSPI(RED) at Southern Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Fiat of Norfolk, Virginia. The model originally stickered for $34,095, but the dealer has it listed for $19,134. That’s a discount of $14,961 and pictures reveal the dealer had previously tried to sell it for $25,071 but didn’t get any takers.
If you’re in the mood for something newer, Illinois’ Hawk Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has a 2025 500e Armani Edition listed for $21,988. That’s $15,507 below the original sticker price of $37,495.
Those are far from the only examples as Taverna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Florida has an Armani Edition with a $12,254 discount. It’s also worth noting Stellantis appears to be offering a $7,500 national incentive to help make up for the aforementioned tax credit.
