The model
Read full Abarth 500e review
Abarth has successfully transplanted some old-school hot hatch fun into the electric 500e. It's a shame, then, that its appeal is limited by its poor range and practicality, as well as worrying deprecation and a divisive external sound generator. We can see an amount of buyers forgiving these faux pas and succumbing to its charms, but we fear that group is niche.
The engine
There’s only one power option and it combines a 153bhp electric motor and a 37.8kWh (usable) battery. That allows the Abarth 500e to get from 0-62mph in 7.0 seconds. The small battery gives you an official range of 164 miles as a hatchback and 157 miles as a convertible.
