Fiat Canada Unveils 2025 500e With Wild New Tennis Ball Color

FIAT Canada is hoping to boost interest and sales in its all-electric 500e by adding eye-catching new color options and stylish upgrades for 2025. Leading the charge is a bright new “Tennis Ball” paint color—a highlighter-like shade that ensures this urban EV won’t go unnoticed. These updates, along with more premium trims and added tech, aim to make the 500e more appealing to Canadians looking for something electric with personality.

Bright Colors and Bigger Personality – 

Tennis Ball joins new shades like Ocean Mist and Marine Layer Mist as FIAT leans into personality-driven design. But the star of the show isn’t just color—it’s the overall value. The 2025 Fiat 500e still holds the title as Canada’s lowest-MSRP electric vehicle for the model year, starting at just $42,290 CAD (including fees), which is roughly $30,950 USD at current exchange rates.

Still Light, Still Nimble, Still Iconic – 

The 500e weighs under 3,000 pounds (1,361 kg), making it the lightest all-electric passenger car in the market. According to Canada’s EnerGuide system, it runs on a 42-kWh lithium-ion battery, good for up to 227 km (about 141 miles) of range. Plug into a Level 2 charger (11 kW) and you’ll get a full battery in about 4.5 hours. Got access to a DC fast charger? You’ll be able to get 80% battery in just 35 minutes, and 50 km (31 miles) of range in five minutes flat.

Trim Breakdown: From RED to Armani – 

The 2025 lineup includes three trims:

• (500e) RED – The special edition supporting global health causes, with bright accents, a bold red dash, and unique black/red cloth seats.

• La Prima – A more premium take, featuring cream eco-leather, chrome trim, and optional JBL audio.

• Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition – Designed in collaboration with the legendary fashion brand, this version offers exclusive Greige or Green paint, special wheels with Armani logos, ultra-premium interior materials, and serious Italian flair.

Tech That Makes It Feel Bigger Inside – 

All 500e models come with a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen (with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android ™), a 7-inch digital cluster, heated front seats, wireless phone charging, and even a digital “melody” that plays when you start the car. It’s like the car sings to you—literally. Italian composers Flavio Ibba and Marco Gualdi wrote Fiat’s acoustic alert system for pedestrians, “The Sound of 500.”

Quick, Fun, and Efficient to Drive – 

Under the hood (well, floor), you’ve got 117 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. That means 0–48 km/h (30 mph) in under 3 seconds, and 0–97 km/h (60 mph) in about 8.5 seconds. Not bad for a car built for the city.

Safety and Driver Assistance – 

Standard safety tech includes seven airbags, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, Lane Departure Warning-Plus, and Drowsy Driver Detection. A Level 2 driver-assistance package (coming later) will offer features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and a “drone view” park assist system.

The Bottom Line – 

With an unmistakable design, Italian charm, and a bold splash of color, the 2025 Fiat 500e is aiming to stand out in a growing crowd of small EVs. Whether you’re drawn in by the new Tennis Ball paint, the eco-conscious materials, or the segment-leading price tag, there’s no doubt Fiat is making a serious play to get noticed in North America’s EV game. And at $42,290 CAD (approx. $30,950 USD), it’s not just stylish—it’s one of the most attainable electric cars on the market.
