The Fiat 500 is a four-seat city car that sells on charm, small dimensions and an interior that feels far more modern than the shape suggests. At about 3.63 metres long with a 9.7-metre turning circle, it is built for tight streets and awkward parking spaces rather than long motorway stints.
It suits singles, couples and anyone who wants a second car for town use. Rear seats and a 185-litre boot mean it works best when the back seats are occupied occasionally rather than daily.
The choice is straightforward: hatchback or convertible, a 1-litre petrol engine or an electric powertrain, and three trims - Icon, Torino and La Prima. It's the smallest car in the Fiat range, and the most recognisable.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The 500 is Fiat's style-led city car, now in its third generation on sale in this form since 2026, with four seats, a 185-litre boot with the rear seats up and a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.
Reviewers consistently praise the way it looks and the cabin, which pairs a digital instrument cluster with climate control. The same reviewers are equally consistent about the compromises: rear space is tight for adults, three-door access is awkward and it feels happier in town than at 70mph.
Fold the rear seats and luggage space rises to between 440 and 550 litres depending on version, which covers most single-person loads. Servicing falls due every 12 months or 9,000 miles, and every car carries a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel.
Two shapes, same car underneath. The hatchback is the three-door with a conventional tailgate; the convertible is the two-door with a fabric roof that rolls back. Both measure 3.63 metres long, seat four and quote the same 185-litre boot.
The Fiat 500 hatchback is the three-door, and the easier of the two to load thanks to a full tailgate. Kerb weight runs from 1,064 kg to 1,365 kg depending on powertrain.
The Fiat 500 convertible swaps the metal roof for a folding fabric one. Boot volume is unchanged, and kerb weight rises to between 1,084 kg and 1,405 kg.
Every 500, whatever the trim, arrives with keyless entry and start, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, DAB radio, voice control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, LED headlights and an electric parking brake.
The driver-assistance kit is the part that matters most in a small car used in traffic: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition and rear parking sensors are standard across the range. Practicality is honest rather than clever - four seats, 185 litres of boot, 440 to 550 litres with the rear bench folded.
Leasing suits a car like this because you pick a term and a mileage that match town use, hand it back, and the warranty covers the whole time you have it. If you're weighing up mileage and spec before ordering, our guide to choosing your car is a sensible starting point.
There are two: a 1-litre petrol with a manual gearbox, or an electric version with an automatic. Both drive the front wheels, and the decision comes down to whether you can charge at home or nearby.
The petrol 500 is a 1.0-litre with 64 bhp, a six-speed manual and front-wheel drive. It's slow - 0-62mph takes 16.2 to 17.3 seconds depending on version - but returns 52.3 to 53.3 mpg on the WLTP test and sits in insurance groups 5 to 8. Fine for town, hard work on a fast A-road.
The electric 500 has 94 to 116 bhp, a 24 to 42 kWh battery and an automatic gearbox, with WLTP range from 118 miles up to 186 miles on the best version. The strongest version rapid-charges from 0-80% in 35 minutes at 85 kW, or fills from a home 11 kW supply in 2.5 hours. Our electric car guide covers the charging basics.

Three trims: Icon, Torino and La Prima. Icon is the well-equipped starting point, Torino is about appearance, and La Prima brings the bigger screen, comfort kit and most of the extra driver assistance.
Icon covers the essentials properly: 16-inch Burnished alloy wheels, LED headlights, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eco-leather steering wheel, rear parking sensors and cloth upholstery. The Icon is currently available from £210.44 a month.
Torino is a look rather than a specification step - it shares Icon's 16-inch Burnished alloys and cloth upholstery, with no additional standard equipment. Choose it because you prefer how it's presented. The Torino is currently available from £244.76 a month. Against the Icon, that is currently £34.32/mo more expensive.
La Prima adds 17-inch Diamond-cut alloys, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, heated front seats, a six-speaker JBL audio system and leather upholstery. It also brings adaptive cruise control, a fixed panoramic glass roof, wireless phone charging, a rear-view camera, front parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beam, privacy glass, power-folding mirrors and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The La Prima is currently available from £255.59 a month. Against the Torino, that is currently £10.82/mo more expensive.
If the 500's character appeals but you want more urgency, it's worth cross-shopping other small performance hatches. For a more conventional small car with five doors, the Kia Picanto covers similar ground in town.
