The Abarth 500 Hatchback is a small, three-door electric hot hatch: 153bhp through the front wheels, four seats, a 185-litre boot and a body just 3.67 metres long. It's the performance version of a city car, and it behaves like one.
It suits a driver who wants something quick, loud in looks and easy to thread through town, and who can live with a WLTP range of up to 164 miles. If you regularly cover long motorway distances, be honest with yourself early: this isn't that car.
The choice here is simple. One body on this page, one electric powertrain, and two trims: the 500 entry model and the Turismo.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 20 September 2026.
The current 500, on sale in this form since 2023, is the sporting version of a very small car. It has 153bhp, 235Nm, 0-62mph in 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 96mph, with a 3-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty behind it.
Abarth has been tuning small Fiats since the 1950s, and reviewers consistently say the character survived the switch to electric power: quick steering, a short wheelbase and genuine agility, helped by a kerb weight of 1,410 kg that's modest by electric-car standards.
The same testers are just as consistent about the compromises. Rear seats are for children or short trips, the 185-litre boot holds a supermarket run rather than a family's luggage, and the firm ride is part of the deal.
The Hatchback is the more usable of the two. Both are 3.67 m long, 1.68 m wide and 1.52 m tall with four seats and a 185-litre boot, but the Hatchback gives you a proper tailgate rather than a small boot lid under a folding roof.
The Abarth 500 Convertible swaps that for open-air driving and carries a kerb weight of 1,435 kg against the Hatchback's 1,410 kg. Both fold their rear seats to 550 litres and both turn in 9.4 m. To see every version together, use the full Abarth 500 range.
Because the kit list is strong from the entry trim and the car is cheap to run day to day. Every version has keyless entry and start, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, DAB radio, rain-sensing wipers and an electric parking brake.
Driver assistance is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition, with LED headlights on every car. Insurance sits in group 23, and servicing falls due every 12 months or 9,000 miles.
Leasing also sidesteps the question of what a small, focused electric car is worth in three years' time, which is a fair thing to worry about. Our team deals with that part; you just hand it back at the end of the agreement.
There's only one, so the question is really whether it fits your week: the 500 Hatchback is electric only, automatic and front-wheel drive, with a 42.2 kWh battery and no petrol option on this page.
The 42.2 kWh battery (37.8 kWh usable) gives 153bhp and a WLTP range of 157-164 miles depending on version, at 3.4-3.6 miles per kWh. Charging runs to 85 kW, taking 0-80% in 35 minutes on the best version, or 0-100% in 4.3 hours at 11 kW at home.
In plain terms: you'll want somewhere to plug in overnight, and it works best as a town and commuting car. Our electric car guide covers the basics if this is your first EV.

Two trims, and the split is straightforward: the 500 entry model has the equipment most drivers need, while the Turismo adds parking tech, comfort kit and bigger wheels.
The entry car has the full 153bhp and front-wheel drive, on 17-inch alloy wheels with cloth upholstery. You get LED headlights, a 10.25-inch Uconnect touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a JBL sound system and a rear-view camera.
Turismo moves to 18-inch "Diamond Cut" alloy wheels and Alcantara upholstery, with a premium leather and Alcantara steering wheel, front sports seats and heated front seats.
It also adds 360-degree parking sensors front, rear and side with drone view and a rear-view camera, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beam, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and a wireless phone charging pad. Worth knowing before you choose: WLTP range for the range spans 157-164 miles depending on version.
Which trims appear here depends on what's available at the time, so check the live deals below. Paint runs to four colours across the range: Acid green, Adrenaline red, Antidote white and Venom black.
If the Abarth's focus feels like more than you need, the car underneath it is the Fiat 500, which covers the same city-car ground in a calmer, softer form. You can also browse the wider Abarth line-up.
