2024 Abarth 500e: Detailed review - 0-100 & POV test drive 

The fake idle sound is a bit like marketing Meat free sausages to Vegans and vegetarians. Pointless

Sub 6 second with the Hyundai artificial manual would be acceptable to me but then again, i haven’t driven one

Soooo those sounds are wank but theyve nailed it for a great pipe note! Although weird its idling and revving at the same time. If i wanted a little EV id pony up the dough if i had it, until the Renault 5 arrives (drool). Great review! 😊

Wonder what the range would be with 16s vs 18s.

It's definitely charming (for an EV) but it's just too much money and too impractical - and like the Ioniq 5 I appreciate the effort but I just don't want it.

For the money i would rather buy a MG4 XPOWER

"Slings you around a corner like a kid on a clothesline" :) Love that!! Great review and cool little car for an EV.

Watching the battery meter drop during acceleration reminds me of my old Range Rover 😅

Exciting stuff starts from 10:29

Great review as usual, mate - good to see the handling and suspension being put to the test.

The colour looks like Renault Racing Blue to me…

Is it really worth 60k though? It does nothing 60k worth.

I have petrol versions for 2/3 the price of this electric and it is twice as good. In Europe, Abarth sales are practically dead. I'm not surprised.

60k for an updated version of Mr. Bean’s car

I like the looks of it, little mean car. But the 250km range and 66k d.a are laughable in 2024. This needs a price drop to 43-45k d.a to sell. You can currently buy the Abarth 695 auto top spec model for 47k d.a. I know what I'd be buying if i wanted one.
