How it drives
With sporty handling and strong grip, the Abarth is huge fun to drive. The turbocharged engines provide quick acceleration and the special exhaust system sounds great. Small dimensions, light controls and good visibility mean it’s great to drive around town and easy to park.

The Abarth is a safe choice with multiple airbags and electronic driver aids, including stability control that prevents skidding in slippery conditions.
