Abarth 695C XSR Yamaha (2018) Price Guide

The Abarth 695C XSR Yamaha is the convertible version of the 695 XSR Yamaha edition — the same Yamaha motorcycle-inspired specification but with the electrically retracting fabric roof that adds open-air drama to an already theatrical car.

Specification

The 695C XSR Yamaha shares its mechanical and cosmetic package with the hatchback: 180bhp 1.4 T-Jet turbo, Record Monza exhaust, Brembo brakes, Koni FSD dampers, and the Motodrome Matte Grey paint that matches the Yamaha XSR900 motorcycle’s colour palette. The matte black bonnet with carbon fibre detailing, 17-inch OZ Racing alloys in matte titanium, and Alcantara interior with yellow Yamaha accent stitching all carry over. The Yamaha-branded engine start button is present. The convertible roof retracts electrically while the side pillars remain in place — the same arrangement as all 500-based Abarth convertibles.

Buying

The 695C XSR Yamaha is rarer than its hatchback counterpart, as convertible production numbers were typically smaller across all 695 editions. The open-air experience amplifies the Record Monza exhaust note, which is either a selling point or a reason to avoid it depending on your tolerance for noise and your neighbours’ patience. Roof fabric condition and seal integrity are the convertible-specific checks. The 595C offers the same open-top Abarth experience without the Yamaha edition premium for buyers who prioritise value over exclusivity.
