Design

Fiat 500e shape with Abarth bodykit, bold launch colours (Acid Green, Poison Blue) and a cabrio option.

Driving

Sharper steering and damping than the Fiat; one of the most characterful small EVs.

Engineering

Same 42 kWh battery as the Fiat with a more powerful 155 hp motor, at the cost of range.

Ownership

Strong discounts in 2026; check whether 164 miles suits you.

Legacy

Abarth's bet that a hot hatch can survive the switch to electric.
