The Abarth 500e and 500e Convertible are entertaining urban runabouts that handle pretty well and get off the line quickly. They lacks the outright enjoyment of many petrol-powered hot hatches though, and ithe ride isn’t all that comfortable. We'd recommend the entry-level version because the convertible and Turismo trim get pricey.
There’s only one power option and it combines a 153bhp electric motor and a 37.8kWh (usable) battery. That allows the Abarth 500e to get from 0-62mph in 7.0 seconds. The small battery gives you an official range of 164 miles as a hatchback and 157 miles as a convertible.
