Abarth 500e Hatchback
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 no doubt the switch to electric power has been a challenge for some car manufacturers. Smaller brands and sports car specialists have been grappling with the thorny issue for years now, and few have found electric power as antithetical as Abarth. A company known for its loud takes on Fiat products, the idea of a silent and subtle city car is about as far removed from Abarth’s brand identity as it’s possible to be.
Yet here we are, looking at Abarth’s first electric car. It’s based on the new Fiat 500e, which is already a pretty attractive vehicle, but Abarth has beefed it up with remarkable success, giving the cute hatchback a slightly more steroidal image. The company has upped the power output, too, and in a slightly strange departure from the electric car norm, it has also upped the volume. But can an electric hatch really feel like a proper Abarth product?
