There aren#39;t any powertrain options to explore here. The 500e hatchback is equipped with a single motor setup and a 24-kWh battery with a rated power output of 111 horsepower. Through this setup, the 500e hatchback gets a range of 84 miles. In a straight line, the 500e hatchback clocks a 0-60 of 9.3 seconds.
