Our take on this /// Verdict

The Fiat Abarth 595 is a thrilling package for those who crave a blend of performance and style. This tiny Italian hot hatch packs a punch with its turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, which, although suffering from some turbo lag, comes alive once you cross the 2,500 rpm mark. The cars agility and responsive handling make it a joy to drive, especially on twisty roads. However, its not without its quirks the slight understeer when cornering and the firm ride might not appeal to everyone. Nonetheless, for enthusiasts who value driving excitement and a unique design, the Abarth 595 is a compelling choice.

Price

In India, the Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione is priced competitively, though it is on the higher side for its segment. The ex-showroom price typically hovers around 30-35 lakhs, depending on the variant and any customizations. Once you factor in taxes, registration, and other costs, the on-road price can easily exceed 40 lakhs. While this may seem steep for a car of its size, the Abarth 595 offers a unique blend of performance, exclusivity, and Italian flair that justifies the premium. For those willing to invest in a niche product that stands out from the crowd, the price might be well worth it.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 22 August 2024 05:11 PM Abarth has confirmed the end of production for the petrol-powered Abarth 595, marking the conclusion of a 16-year reign. Dealers will continue to offer new models until the end of 2024. This shift is part of Abarths transition to electric powertrains, with the all-new Abarth 600e set to launch later this year. I think this is a significant move towards sustainability, but its sad to see the end of such an iconic petrol-powered car.

Thursday, 15 August 2024 11:00 PM The Abarth 595 is known for its flamboyant and charismatic design, but it also comes with some practical compromises. The cars small size and firm suspension make it less comfortable for long journeys, and the rear seats are better used as extra storage. However, its 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and sports suspension make it a joy to drive on twisty roads. I believe the trade-off between comfort and performance is worth it for driving enthusiasts.

Saturday, 20 July 2024 08:27 PM Abarths decision to halt production of the 595 is part of a broader industry pivot towards electrification. The petrol-powered Abarth 500 has been a mainstay in the small hot hatch segment, but its retirement follows similar departures from the market, such as the Hyundai i20 N and Ford Fiesta ST. This change reflects the increasing focus on environmentally friendly vehicles.

Tuesday, 07 May 2024 10:41 PM The Abarth 595 comes with a range of power outputs, from 145hp to 180hp, all powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The top-of-the-line Competizione and Esseesse versions boast a 0-62mph time of just 6.7 seconds. The cars engine is loud and in-your-face, dominating the driving experience and urging drivers to push harder. I think the engines character is a big part of the cars charm.

Thursday, 25 April 2024 07:54 PM Despite its performance credentials, the Abarth 595 has some limitations. The boot space is small, and the equipment list is basic, with features like smartphone mirroring and sat nav available only as expensive options. However, its small size and good visibility make it easy to drive around town. The firm suspension can be a bit harsh over poor road surfaces, though.

Sunday, 19 November 2023 06:19 AM Abarths transition to electric powertrains is driven by rising road taxes on combustion engines. According to Abarths European Head, Gaetano Thorel, these taxes make combustion-powered sports cars too expensive for consumers. Instead, Abarth will offer electric sport hatches with equivalent performance at the same price. This move aligns with the industrys broader shift towards electrification.

Sunday, 15 October 2023 10:59 AM The Abarth 595s driving experience is enhanced by its well-placed metal pedals and dashboard-mounted gear shifter, making heel-and-toe braking and quick gear shifts easy. However, the cars firm suspension and large alloy wheels highlight every pothole and poorly repaired road surface, making long journeys less comfortable.

Wednesday, 20 September 2023 07:57 AM The Abarth 595 matches its rivals in terms of fuel economy, with claimed figures of around 47mpg, although real-world driving typically yields around 40mpg. The car is available with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, but an optional five-speed automatic is also available, though its not particularly smooth.

Thursday, 10 August 2023 06:17 PM The Abarth 595s interior, while featuring exciting go-faster parts, shows evidence of being a budget-friendly car with scratchy plastics and hard surfaces. The cars loud engine and firm suspension also make it less comfortable for long journeys. However, its unique charm and driving experience make it a standout in the hot hatch segment.

Sunday, 25 June 2023 09:15 AM The Abarth 595 is praised for its manic character and on-track performance, especially in the Competizione and Esseesse models. These versions come with serious mechanical upgrades, including sports suspension and an optional limited-slip differential. This makes the 595 a serious contender for driving enthusiasts looking for a fun and agile car.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 04:20 PM When it comes to mileage, the Fiat Abarth 595 is not the most frugal option. It returns around 14.9 km per liter, which is reasonable but not outstanding. Given its performance-oriented nature, this fuel efficiency is acceptable, especially if youre more concerned with the driving experience than with maximizing fuel economy. However, for daily city driving, the running costs will be higher compared to more fuel-efficient options.
