Compare the2026 Fiat 500eVS 2026 Dodge Charger

The 500e has standard whiplash protection, which use a specially designed headrest to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the whiplash protection system moves the headrests forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The Charger doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

Both the 500e and the Charger have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras, driver alert monitors, available blind spot warning systems, front parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.

The 500e comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Charger’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 14,000 miles sooner.

On the EPA test cycle the 500e gets better mileage than the Charger running on electricity:

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Fiat 500e higher (10 out of 10) than the Dodge Charger (6 to 10). This means the 500e produces up to 12.9 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Charger every 15,000 miles.

For better maneuverability, the 500e’s turning circle is 8.5 feet tighter than the Charger Six Pack’s (31.5 feet vs. 40 feet). The 500e’s turning circle is 10 feet tighter than the Charger Daytona’s (31.5 feet vs. 41.5 feet).

The Fiat 500e may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1850 to 2900 pounds less than the Dodge Charger.

The 500e is 5 feet, 3.6 inches shorter than the Charger, making the 500e easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The 500e is 1 foot, 1.8 inches narrower than the Charger, making the 500e easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

The design of the Fiat 500e amounts to more than styling. The 500e has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .324 Cd. That is lower than the Charger (.35). A more efficient exterior helps the 500e go faster and keeps the interior quieter. It also helps the 500e get better fuel mileage.

A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the 500e easier. The 500e’s trunk lift-over height is 27.4 inches, while the Charger’s liftover is 32.2 inches.

The 500e’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Charger’s standard intermittent wipers change speed with vehicle speed, but can’t turn on and off or change speed based on changing rainfall.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the 500e has a standard rear wiper. The Charger doesn’t offer a rear wiper.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Fiat 500e has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the Charger.
