General 500e Icon vs La Prima

[TrevS]

Hi all

I am currently looking for a Fiat 500e for my wife in either Ocean Green or Celestial blue. We are currently looking at either going for a base spec icon with sub 20k miles and we've seen a couple in the £12-13k range which seems like good value. However we do keep coming back to the La Prima and wondering if it would be worth the additional outlay for the higher spec car as prices of these tend to be £16-17k. £4k seems like quite a jump up so could anyone advise which model they would go for and if the options on the La Prima are really worth us stretching our budget?

Finally, if anyone has a full list of differences in spec between and icon and La Prima then please post as the brochure doesn't give a full list.

Thanks

Trev

FYI the range at launch was Active, Passion, Icon and La Prima. It's been chopped around with since which makes spec comparison quite difficult. For example, my 2021 Passion had rear parking sensors as standard but my 2024 Icon doesn't.

Led headlights are probably the biggest usable step up on La Prima as the standard halogens on the other trim levels aren't great. Beyond that, I don't think la prima would be worth the extra £4k on the used market.

I have a bad back, and the La Prima is the only version with seat height adjustment, essential for me. The non-adjustable seat in other versions is set far too low.

Really depends on the options. My 2022 Icon has everything a La Prima has, except bigger wheels and different seat upholstery
