Abarth 500 Hatchback

The special edition will arrive to the UK at around £36,000, so this will not be the cheapest EV on the market. Expect leasing deals to be around £325 - £475 per month, mileage, term and initial rental / deposit dependent. As more variants are introduced, we may see some slightly cheaper options to utilise

The starting point is probably to ask how good is the Fiat 500e (as this is effectively the same car plus some aesthetic touches). The UK’s automotive media in the UK have been somewhat pleasant with CarWoW at 7/10. WhatCar? At 4/5 and Parkers at 4.2/5. As these publications have identified, the Abarth is essentially a faster and more exciting version of this, with sublime performance and bolder aesthetics. The 11 kW AC and 85 kW DC also ensure a robust charging experience too. The only point to note is the reduced range of the Abarth vs the Fiat, as this compromised in favour of performance.

It looks great, it drives great and it’s affordable. All of these are important to EV customers but those alone are not enough to ensure that this product, both the car and the finance, are suitable for the long-term needs of an e-car lease customer. This is why our dedicated and expert website uses a “living with your ...” tool on each car to explain the range, charging speeds, full charge costs and company car tax in every instance. The overall lifestyle does need to be considered based on your domestic or workplace infrastructure, as there are drawbacks / cons to operating this type of vehicle. And the nuances of contract hire and leasing, which is a usership product, also need reflection as this may not always be suitable for your needs and requirements.

At the present (November 2022) there are still only limited offers on this new car. Our best special offers can be reviewed at. Expect early 2023 for our aggregator partners, AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, Moneyshake, LeaseFetcher or LeaseLoco to highlight other deals too. If you need a more personal and face to face experience, visit your Abarth retailer to procure a PCP or HP quotation if you need to compare lease vs buy.

At the time of writing (November 2022) the only option to lease is the Abarth 500e 113kW 42kWh 3dr Auto Scorpionissima at £36,000.

As a small car / EV, this is likely to be popular for low mileage leasing customers and younger drivers. To ensure you, or the fleet team, get accurate information, just our range guide on each car. The Abarth EV should offer a range (on a full charge) of 95 miles on a motorway in colder weather, with this increasing to 140 miles for urban driving. In warmer weather, this increases to 125 miles on a motorway and 210 miles city driving. Driving style and behaviours does influence range!
