Uploaded 1 year ago by Auto Express

Video Summary

Here is the summary:

The Abarth 500e is the first all-electric hot hatchback but the car has a speaker system that emits a synthesized engine noise.

There is a rear speaker that makes noise regardless of speed. Inside cabin, speakers are not matched to the road load, which can cause a drone.

The sound system can only be adjusted if you put the vehicle in park and apply the handbrake.

The cabin is very well detailed with an Alcantara steering wheel, dashboard, and seating. Stitching highlights the interior, and a glass roof is standard.

It is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen display that can be used with carplay or android auto.

The 42.2-kilowatt battery pack produces 155 horsepower and 235 Nm of torque.

The 0-62 mph is approximately 7 seconds. Between 25-37 miles per hour, it is 1 second faster than its predecessor.

The weight is 1410 kgs, it is the heaviest Abarth, but the low chassis weight helps it drive better than the older model.

The long range is 150 miles per charge, but in the city/village driving, that can be stretched to 200 miles.

The standard price starts at 34,000 pounds, the tourism model starts at 38,000.

The 18-inch wheels and details are inspired by Italian sportswear.
