Video Summary

Here is the summary:
- The Abarth 500e shares many fundamentals with the Fiat 500e, adding extra performance and a striking new look.
- The car is wider and has a longer wheelbase than the models it replaces (the petrol 695 and 595).
- Features include a smooth front grill and the original Abarth badges integrated with a lightning bolt to reflect the car's electric powertrain.
- The interior has nice materials like Alcantara and is sport-feeling.
- Some materials are a little scratchy, but the build quality feels solid, and there is a nice central screen.
- The steering wheel feels good and has a nice shape.
- Seating position is a big improvement over the previous petrol Abarth.
- Rear seating space is very limited.
- The car has a boot capacity of 105 liters.
- The boot is somewhat smaller than in the Mini Electric.
- The car has a sound generator that provides character but has the issue of constantly hanging in the same gear.
- The 0-60 time is just under 7 seconds.
- The range is around 157 miles, and the range is limited to shorter journeys.
- The steering is nice and has good weight.
- The turning circle is small, and there's enough road feedback for the driver to know what the car is doing.
- Pedal spacing is tight.
