Abarth 595 Lease Deals

While many larger hot hatchbacks could easily serve as everyday family cars, the Abarth is definitely a specialised tool for driving enjoyment. It’s made primarily for fun rather than flexibility. 

The rear seats are more suited to children than adults, and the 185-litre boot is on the smaller side, although it’s fine for a few bags of shopping and the rear seats can be dropped to improve overall luggage space. 

The in-cabin storage isn’t particularly generous - the door pockets are quite thin - so again, this is a car best thought of as a sports car that happens to have four seats.

Although the 595 is a high-performance car, its small size, light weight and turbocharged engine mean it’s surprisingly cheap to run. Fuel economy hovers around the 40mpg mark for all versions – from the entry-level 595 right up to the range-topping Esseesse – regardless of whether you choose the standard manual or optional automatic gearbox. Of course, any ‘spirited driving’ will see this number drop a bit, but it’s still a more than reasonable return for such an enjoyable-to-drive car.

Fiat – and by extension, Abarth – has not had the strongest reputation for reliability over the years, although the 500 on which the 595 is based is a relatively simple and straightforward car that has been made in big numbers, so any niggles have long ago been ironed out.

Only 185 litres, which is small even for a city car. But it’s enough for a small shop or a couple of weekend bags.

The 4 core trim levels are 595, Turismo, Competizione and Esseesse, and Abarth occasionally offers limited-run special editions of the car, too.

The standard Abarth 595 only has rear parking sensors in 595C convertible form. But from Turismo spec and above, they’re standard across the board.

Viewed in the context of being a sports car, the Abarth does offer some flexibility: it will seat four, the rear bench drops to improve loading capacity, and it has a relatively wide hatchback tailgate. The MINI JCW is a little more accommodating though, and if you think you’ll be carrying more than 2 people regularly, something like a Hyundai i20 N has more rear space.

It offers a lot of bang for its buck – it’s a very fast and sporty car that can be leased for a relatively small monthly payment. And it’s a real head-turner, thanks to a selection of bright colours and a pretty loud exhaust note.
