Fiat 500 e Convertible Review
The infamous small hatchback makes its second modern comeback, and this time round is all electric.
The 500 Electric Cabrio is Fiat’s soft-top version of the 500 Electric hatchback.
It comes with a retractable fabric roof that slides back at the touch of a button, taking just 25 seconds to fold into the boot lid and which can also be operated at speeds of up to 37mph.
In effect, and unlike a traditional convertible, the 500 Electric Cabrio has a large, full-length canvas sunroof - which is perhaps even easier to live with than a regular drop-top.
Read morePowering the 500 Electric Cabio is a 42 kWh battery, just as you get with the hatchback variant.
It provides power of 118 hp and can accelerate the Cabrio from 0-62 mph in just 9 seconds.
You also get a range of up to 189 miles between charges, which is more than you get with rivals such as the Honda e or the Volkswagen e-Up!
Using a dedicated home wall box you can fully-charge the battery in 4 hours 15 minutes. You can also use a rapid charger to take the battery from 0-80% in 35 minutes.
Entry-level ‘Icon’ models come loaded with a 10.25 inch infotainment touchscreen with sat nav as well as 16 inch alloys and a vegan-friendly ‘leather’ steering wheel.
You can also expect a suite of driver assistance and safety systems as standard, including lane keep assist and advanced emergency braking.
Range-topping La Prima models add extras such as wireless mobile phone charging and an uprated sound system from renowned audio specialists JBL.
The 500 Electric Cabrio could also be the perfect company car, falling into a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax bracket.
