Used Abarth cars for sale

The Abarth 595 and 695 come with standard safety equipment such as a tyre pressure monitoring system, traction control for help in wet and slippery conditions, plus a full vehicle stability control system. The electric Abarth 500e includes some of the latest assistance systems including traffic sign recognition, autonomous emergency braking and a clever E-Call function which can contact the emergency services if it detects a collision. This makes the electric Abarth one of the safest cars in the firm’s range.

The fuel-efficiency of Abarth models varies. The 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that you’ll find in cars like the 595 and 695 does without any hybrid assistance, but because it is relatively small and powering a compact car, it should still return up to 42.2mpg during mixed driving. The electric version will bring lower running costs, but its 157-mile range is reasonably short for the segment it sits within.

The 500-based Abarth has been around for a little while now and, as a result, you’ll find plenty to choose from on AA Cars at present, starting from around £4,000. However, with this being a performance car we’d be looking out for a good service history while a vehicle check is well worth undertaking. The new electric 500e can be bought for around £25,000, with low miles on the clock. If you’d rather have the convertible 124 Spider, then look to pay around £14,000 for a car with average mileage.

The latest car in the Abarth range is the 500e. It’s the first electric Abarth and though it’s quite different underneath, from the outside, it looks just like a ‘regular’ Abarth. One of the key new features is the Abarth 500e’s new sound generator. With a speaker mounted underneath the rear bumper, the 500e can recreate a modern interpretation of the classic Abarth exhaust noise all with zero emissions. Don’t worry - if it’s too loud, you can switch it off via the main screen inside the car. There’s also a larger 600e model which brings a little more space than the standard 500e version

The Fiat 500 upon which the Abarth is based is rated highly for reliability, though some questions have been raised about the robustness of interior trim pieces and the door handles.

When it comes to Abarth 595 and 695 models, look out for scratched bumpers and dented door panels. With their relatively large alloy wheels, Abarth models are often kerbed and refurbs can be costly - so make sure the wheels are in good order or budget for a repair. As with the Fiat 500, the interior of the Abarth wasn’t kitted out with the most pleasant of materials overall, so look out for scratched plastics and worn seats. You may want to consider getting an AA Vehicle Inspection, too, which looks at other key parts of the car to make sure the one you’re looking at is spot-on.

Yes, of course. If you find a used Abarth that you’re interested in, then an AA vehicle inspection is a great place to start. With it, trained technicians will run thorough checks and even conduct a five-mile road test. You can choose from a basic or comprehensive inspection So if you’re after something more in-depth on your next Abarth, then there’s an option for you.
