595 (2012 to 2024)

The Abarth 595 is a high-performance variant of the Fiat 500, reintroduced in 2012 as part of Abarth’s modern performance lineup. Based on the retro-styled city car, the 595 is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-litre inline-four engine, with outputs varying depending on specification, typically ranging from around 107kW to over 132kW in Competizione and special edition forms. Power is sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual or optional automated manual transmission. Known for its aggressive exhaust note, firm suspension tuning, Brembo braking options, and distinctive scorpion badging, the 595 blends compact dimensions with genuine hot hatch character. In the Australian market, the Abarth 595 appeals to enthusiasts seeking a small, lightweight performance car with strong personality and European flair, particularly in higher-spec variants like the Competizione and limited-run editions.
