The more powerful motor of the two is the better all-rounder, with 117bhp and a slightly quicker 0-62mph time of 9.0sec. You’ll mostly notice the difference at higher speeds, where it feels more comfortable than the lower-powered 70kW motor.

87kW

This lower-powered electric motor is best suited to town and city roads. With 94bhp and a 0-62mph time of 9.5 seconds, there’s enough pep at low speeds, but it will start to struggle getting up to motorway speed limits.

70kW

Despite the 'hybrid' badge, the 500 can't travel on electric power alone and you can't plug it in. It only has a tiny battery that barely does anything the improve the weedy acceleration, although performance is adequate for town driving. 

1.0 Mild Hybrid

Our pick of the range brings a generous amount of kit for the money, building on the Red’s spec with keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers and 50:50 split-folding rear seats.

Icon

This is worth considering if you like your creature comforts, because as well as climate control and a leather-trimmed steering wheel, Lounge models also come with a 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system and Bluetooth, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, rear parking sensors and fog lights. 

Lounge

The entry-level model has steel wheels, fabric seats, black dash finishers, a smartphone cradle, two USB ports, four speakers, keyless ignition, rear parking sensors and air conditioning.

Hey Google

This flagship model comes with the most kit, including wireless phone-charging, a panoramic roof, a front centre armrest, 17in alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control and a six-speaker sound system.

La Prima

Stick with cheaper Lounge trim. It's much better value for money.

Launch Edition

Passion

This entry-level trim is pretty basic. You get electric front windows, remote central locking, electrically adjustable door mirrors, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, plus USB and aux-in connectors. Air-conditioning is notable by its absence, as are alloy wheels (steel rims and plastic trims come as standard). Air-con is definitely worth paying extra for, not least because it’ll make your 500 easier to sell on in the future.

This model, in partnership with the (Red) charity, replaces Passion and comes with red painted exterior and interior highlights, including a red driver’s seat. There’s also a 10.25in centre touchscreen display with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, cruise control, 16in alloy wheels and climate control.

Rock Star

Sport trim gets you a chunkier bodykit than other 500s, along 15in alloys and graphite-coloured door mirrors. Worth a look, but we reckon Lounge trim makes more sense.

Hatchback

Modern Fiats fall into two categories: the retro models and those with more functional designs.

Cars in the first camp appeal to the heart and include the 124 Spider sports car and the 500 series: a hatchback, a convertible, an SUV and two MPVs.

By contrast, the remaining models rely on their practicality and attractive pricing, with the Panda city car, Tipo hatchback and Fullback pick-up truck all prime examples.

Fiat can trace its roots back to the 19th century but is now part of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, along with Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Jeep and Maserati.
