If you're in the market for a car that's sporty, punchy and agile, then a used Abarth 595 is a great choice. The 595 is designed to take on city streets with ease, offering sporty looks and a great exhaust sound. Top-spec models can be found with a lot of upgraded features, providing more value for money.
All Abarth 595 models have a petrol engine and front-wheel drive, but there's the option of a manual or an automatic gearbox.
PetrolEarlier models included a 140bhp 1.4-litre that has an efficiency rating of around 47mpg, a 145bhp variant with around 41mpg, and a 160bhp variant with up to 48mpg.
The Abarth 595 was designed for city driving, so the interior space wasn't a top priority, yet it's still a decent option for two people.
Interior space595C has a convertible top for an open-air experience.
Inspired by the historic 595 model (first unveiled in 1963), Abarth decided that it was time to debut a sporty hot hatch with a similar design in 2012. While the exterior styling was nearly identical to that of the 500 models, it was given some special touches to increase the aerodynamics. There were more than 1.5 million units sold before its first refresh in 2016. Another update occurred in 2021, keeping the lineup fresh and relevant even though it's still in the first generation.
The Abarth 595 is a cheeky little hot hatch that packs a lot of fun into a tiny package. With its 1.4‑litre turbo engine, sharp exhaust note, and sporty tune (especially in trims like Competizione and Turismo), it delivers entertaining performance - often hitting 0‑62 mph in under 8 seconds for the sportier versions. It’s not just about speed: the handling is zippy, and the car feels alive in tight corners, though ride comfort is firm and space is limited. Inside, it offers attractive detailing, sporty touches, and enough tech for a fun drive, though you’ll pay a bit more for servicing and premium parts. For someone who wants a stylish, exciting small car that’s more about character than utility, the 595 delivers big smiles per mile.

All Abarth 595 models use the same 1.4-litre T-Jet engine. However, the output can differ, with some models generating between 140bhp and 180bhp.
Abarth has offered the 595 in several model variants, such as the base, Turismo and Competizione. Among used models, the Competizione has been the most popular with standard carbon-fibre bucket seats, a limited-slip differential and larger brakes.
Several comfort features have been available, such as automatic climate control that ensures maximum comfort in all temperatures. Customers should also look out for the available leather seats and a Beats sound system with six speakers.
As a three-door city car, the Abarth 595 isn't designed to hold a large family. However, two adults can fit comfortably in the front and the rear can hold up to two children. There are also ISOFIX mounting points for installing baby seats.
With a heavy focus on performance, Abarth hasn't released any hybrid technology for the 595 lineup yet. For now, the highest efficiency rating from the lineup is the earlier 160bhp variant that achieved up to 48mpg.
Yes, but the automatics can be difficult to find. Most of the used Abarth 595 models come equipped with a manual gearbox instead.
As a small city car, Abarth has only made the 595 with a front-wheel drive configuration. Adding four-wheel drive would be unnecessary, lead to a significant weight gain and add to the cost.
