The smallest, angriest Fiat 500 just keeps on keeping on.
The hot Abarth 595 has been priced for 2022, with a single trim level offered in a choice of hatchback or convertible bodies.
Under the skin, the Abarth 595 is built on the same bones as the Fiat 500 first revealed in 2007. It’s been updated multiple times throughout its life, and kept fresh with a constant stream of special editions in Australia.
For 2022, Abarth is leaning into its rally heritage with a matte Rally Blue paint option and a set of wheels inspired by those of the Fiat 131 Abarth Rally.
Gone is the entry-level City specification, as Abarth moves to a simpler (and racier) range.
The 595 Competizione goes head-to-head with the Ford Fiesta ST and Hyundai i20 N.
