Unlike quite a few manufacturers in this segment, Abarth has done the job properly here and created a properly performance-tuned hot hatch. You'll feel the difference that makes if you drive this fast 600e back to back with cars in this segment like the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX or even dual motor EV models like the MG4 X-POWER or the smart #1 BRABUS. No, there's not quite as much power, but what you have you can use more enjoyably.
With a car like this, it's not how fast you go but how fast it can bring a grin to your face and this Abarth does that pretty rapidly. There are a few things though: the 'Competizione' model's faster 280hp motor should be standardised and that pricier version's EV sound system feature should be included on 'Turismo' version most will choose. Plus this car isn't quite as special as it should be inside. If you can live with these caveats, there's a few enjoyable Latin lessons to be had here.
