Style that still turns heads

The Fiat 500 Convertible keeps the original's retro charm but wears it with modern detailing — round headlights, chrome accents and a compact, cheeky stance that feels at home in tight city streets as well as seaside promenades. At 3,632 mm long and 1,683 mm wide the car is genuinely small and therefore easy to place in parking spots where larger convertibles struggle. The soft-top roof is clever and user-friendly, converting the 500 into an open-top with minimal fuss while preserving the silhouette that made the model famous. This is a car designed to be seen, not to disappear in a crowd.

Cabin: cute, improved and purpose-built

Inside the 500 Convertible the dashboard echoes the exterior's retro cues but with cleaner surfaces and better materials than earlier generations, combining gloss panels with soft-touch areas and retro-inspired switches. The seating is focused on front-seat comfort; the two rear seats are usable but best suited to children or short trips, and there are practical storage nooks for phones and small items. Controls are straightforward and tactile, with an infotainment screen that integrates smartphone mirroring and basic vehicle settings without being overly complicated. Overall the cabin feels cheerful and well-suited to urban use rather than long-haul luxury.

Small footprint, sensible practicality

Boot space in the convertible is compact at about 185 litres in everyday configuration, which covers shopping and a weekend bag but not bulky loads; folding or rearranging increases usable capacity up to a reported 550 litres in special configurations. With four seats nominally provided the 500 is a genuine 2+2 rather than a roomy family car — expect the rear to be tight for adults on anything more than short journeys. Payload numbers around 250–305 kg and a curb weight in the 1,330–1,480 kg range underline that this is a lightweight, city-focused package rather than a heavy grand-tourer. In practical terms this means easy parking, affordable energy use in town, and some trade-offs on luggage and long-distance comfort.

Peppy in the city, modest on the motorway

The electric powertrain is offered in different outputs (around 95 and 118 hp) with 220 Nm of torque available in the livelier setup, delivering 0–100 km/h times in the 9–9.5 second band that feel brisk in urban traffic. Front-wheel drive and a short wheelbase make the 500 nimble and fun on twisty B-roads, with light steering and an eager initial response thanks to electric torque. At higher speeds the car's small dimensions and relaxed top speed (around 135–150 km/h depending on spec) reveal the compromise: stable for country roads but not aimed at sustained high-speed cruising. Suspension tuning favours comfort over razor-sharp sportiness, so daily driving is composed rather than firm.

What the numbers mean for range and running costs

Consumption figures sit in the low double digits — roughly 13–15 kWh/100 km depending on battery and driving style — which translates to efficient city running and modest charging costs compared with many ICE convertibles. The 500 Convertible is offered in shorter- and longer-range electric configurations, with advertised WLTP ranges around 190 km at the entry level and roughly 310–313 km for the larger battery option, so choice of battery has a big impact on real usability for longer trips. In everyday terms the larger battery makes weekend escapes and motorway legs far less stressful, while the smaller pack can be ideal for city commuters who charge regularly. Charging speed and exact usable capacity vary by trim, so consider typical journey lengths when choosing between versions.

Modern tech without overcomplication

Infotainment and driver aids in the Fiat 500 Convertible match what most buyers expect from a contemporary small EV: a responsive touchscreen with smartphone integration, voice and basic connectivity features, and a selection of safety assists such as parking sensors and lane-keeping aids in higher trims. The setup keeps the focus on ease of use rather than overwhelming menus, and available assistance systems help with urban driving and parking, which is where this car spends most of its life. Adaptive cruise and more advanced suites are present on some versions, but the package remains lightweight and user-friendly rather than technology-heavy. The result is a tidy, modern cockpit that complements the car's lifestyle character.

Who should buy the 500 Convertible?

The Fiat 500 Convertible suits city dwellers and image-conscious buyers who prioritise style, open-top fun and low running costs over maximum practicality or long-range touring ability. Buyers who commute short distances or live where charging is readily available will find the smaller battery very efficient, while those wanting occasional motorway travel should opt for the longer-range configuration. Families or those needing a lot of luggage space will quickly find the limitations, so this is best as a second car or a primary vehicle for singles and couples who put personality and city agility top of the shopping list. Multiple electric configurations exist, so match battery and power to the way the car will actually be used rather than choosing on looks alone.
