2025 Fiat 600e Abarth unveiled for the first time
Fiat's electric 600e subcompact crossover, launched in Europe last year, is about to spawn a temperamental Abarth variant, as the latest spy shots prove.
The spy shots show prototypes of both the 600e Abarth and the regular 600e, revealing visual differences between the two vehicles.
The 600e Abarth can be identified by its slightly wider wheel arches, unique grille, and subtle rear diffuser.
Wheels were covered on both prototypes seen, but the Abarth's wheels appeared to be of a larger design. They were also wrapped with low-profile tires.
It is not clear what Fiat plans for the powertrain, but rumors point to more than 230 hp.
The regular 600e has a single electric motor up front, producing 154 hp peak. The battery is 54 kwh and has a range of about 200 miles when fully charged.
Underpinning the 600e is the CMP modular platform from Fiat's parent company, Sterantis. The platform debuted on the Jeep Avenger electric subcompact crossover sold abroad and will also be used in Alfa Romeo's Milano electric subcompact crossover, which is scheduled for release later this year.
Fiat's 500e electric minicar will go on sale in the U.S. this year, but the company has not said whether a 600e variant will be sold in the U.S. The 500e also has an Abarth variant, but it, too, has not said whether it will be sold in the U.S.
