Wear It Like a Suit: 2025 Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition
It’s hard to tell how much self-awareness is behind Fiat’s tagline for the latest 500e special edition, which is “Don’t drive it, wear it.” Is the brand having fun with the fact that the tidy electric hatchback fits many Americans more like a suit than a car? At least it’s a fine suit; the fifth such special-edition 500e is a collaboration with Italian designer Giorgio Armani.

Armani Green
The 2025 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition is available in two colors: Green and Greige, each with matching synthetic leather upholstery. Only from directly behind the car can there be any question as to the little coupe’s provenance, as it rides on 17-inch wheels sporting supersized Giorgio Armani “GA” logos. Smaller logos adorn the front-seat head restraints, and Giorgio’s signature appears on the dashboard, interior door panels and exterior rear window trim. Unique chevron stitching in the seatbacks and a woodgrain-look cloth dash panel round out the special treatments.
Otherwise, the Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition is equipped like the 500es that have gone before — (Red) Edition, Inspired by Beauty, Inspired by Music and Inspired by Los Angeles — with a full complement of active safety technologies, LED exterior lighting, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging and a seven-speaker JBL sound system. That last piece boasts four different soundscapes Fiat says were selected by another living Italian legend, Maestro Andrea Bocelli.
Specs and Pricing
Giorgio Armani is a fashion brand, not a tuner, so the 500e’s battery and motor are unchanged. That means a 42-kilowatt-hour pack good for up to 149 miles of range and a motor sending 117 horsepower and 162 pounds-feet of torque to the front wheels.
The 2025 Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition will go on sale in early 2025. Pricing will be announced closer to launch. Based on the unique wheels alone — all of the previous editions rode on stock wheels — we’re expecting this one will cost more than the $37,595 (including destination) Fiat has asked for the Armani’s predecessors.
