The Abarth 500e is an all-electric pocket rocket that promises green motoring and ‘endless fun’, according to the Italian performance manufacturer.
The battery-powered hot-hatch is based on the Fiat 500 electric… but dials things up to eleven compared with the Fiat supermini.
Power of 155 PS, as well as 235 Nm of torque, comes from a 42 kWh battery. An Abarth 500e lease will see you accelerating from 0-62mph in just 7.0 seconds, which is actually quicker than a petrol-powered Abarth 595.

There’s a range of up to 185 miles between charges, as well as 85 kW rapid charging capabilities, which can take the battery from 10-80% in 35 minutes.
Meanwhile a 185 litre boot means the Abarth 500e is a more practical alternative to the Honda e, which has less luggage space.
Launch ‘Scorpionissima’ models are top of the range and fully-loaded with equipment.
Lease customers will enjoy 18 inch alloys, a panoramic roof, a 10.25 inch touchscreen, a premium sound system, full wireless connectivity, and plenty of Alcantara in the cabin.
There’s an innovative ‘Sound Generator’, which injects the noise of a traditional, raucous Abarth engine and exhaust into an otherwise serene cabin. You can turn the sound generator on or off whenever you feel like it, too.
There’s an abundance of driver assistance and safety software on board, including autonomous emergency braking and lane keep assist.
And because there are zero emissions at the tailpipe when you lease an Abarth 500e, business lease customers will take advantage of a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax burden of just 2%, which is fixed until the 2024/25 financial year.
