Super Cute Abarth 500e Pricing and Details Finally Revealed

The first ever electric Abarth is soon to arrive. The Abarth version of the Fiat 500 has a raspy roar, and the electric Abarth 500e follows suit. It may well sound the part, but electric cars with fake exhaust/engine notes might be a bit naff to some. That familiar electric whine is more than enough for most folk, and I am one of those people.

The 113.7kW/ 235Nm is modest, as is the 0-100 of 7 seconds.

The max charge rate of 85kw charges the smallish 42kWh battery 0-80% in 35 minutes with a range of around 252km. Just as the petrol Abarth’s firm suspension makes it an unfavourable choice for touring, the city-sized 252km electric range rules out the 500e for long distance as well. Chargers, if you can find them, are often more than 253km apart.

ABOVE: Abarth 500e

Abarth 500e will launch with Scorpionissima for $60,500, then in 2024, the $58,900 500e Turismo joins the range. Exterior colour choices include Acid Green, Poison Blue, Antidote White, Venom Black and Adrenaline Red. Acid Zgreen makes the Abarth 500e look strikingly fast, even when it is parked.

The cabin is bedecked with Alcantara, and Abarth lasered into the head-rest-integrated sports seats, in Acid green.

Fiat 500 was once the car of the people, the Italian Beetle. Since then, Fiat joined the Stellantis group, one of the biggest car makers in the world, and the humble 500 has become a premium choice of city car. It sits in the ranks the BMW Group’s Mini, which also has an electric version.

Abarth promises a 500e whose electric drivetrain has enhanced its cheeky scamperability. While I’m not at all sure the sound is necessary, but the drive should be a rewarding one. Carmakers keep telling us that most people only drive 50km a day or less so the 500e would charge at home overnight.

If it drives as sharp as it looks, it might be worth a test drive.
