Abarth 600e: the electric sporty crossover and what you need to know
The Abarth 600e is the first electric Abarth crossover, built on the Fiat 600e platform with enhanced power and a sporty suspension. We look at how it differs from the standard Fiat 600e, its power output, and what buyers need to know.
The 600e in brief
The Abarth 600e is the sporty variant of the Fiat 600e: the same compact crossover platform but with a more powerful electric motor, stiffer suspension, sporty styling, and an artificial engine sound that mimics a petrol Abarth.
It's aimed at those who want a sporty yet practical electric car: roomier than the tiny Abarth 595 but retaining its playful character.
Versions — what's the difference
Initially, the limited 'Scorpionissima' version was introduced, followed by the more standard 'Turismo'. The former has the highest power output and unique trim, while the latter comes with more basic equipment.
Both versions share the same gearbox and core construction, so the differences mainly lie in power, wheels, trim, and equipment.
Electric drivetrain and charging
The Abarth 600e has a single electric motor with front-wheel drive: power output is around 240 hp, and in the limited 'Scorpionissima' version, it's around 280 hp. The car has a battery capacity of approximately 54 kWh.
The manufacturer specifies a WLTP range of around 300 km, but this varies depending on speed and driving style, and it significantly decreases with sporty driving. Fast charging is supported according to the manufacturer's specifications.
What to check when buying a used 600e
Request a battery health report, check charging from AC and DC stations, and ensure all software functions work and are up-to-date.
Inspect the brakes and tyres: a sporty electric car quickly wears out tyres due to powerful acceleration. Ask about the warranty and service history from an authorised dealer.
