The Abarth 595 range has been tweaked for the new year, with all four variants receiving tech enhancements and a number of new personalisation options.

Here’s what you need to know.

Abarth 595 exterior

On the outside, it’s business as usual. Taking the basis of the petrol-powered Fiat 500, the only changes on the outside include a new optional set of 17in alloy wheels inspired by 1990s Lancias along with daytime running lights – a feature that’s now standard on all versions.

Things haven’t changed too dramatically on the inside either, with the main changes being a sportier flat-bottomed steering wheel and a number of personalisation options for the Turismo and Competizione. The former gets new leather colour options, while the Competizione gets a race-inspired Alcantara dashboard.

The infotainment system across the range benefits from updated graphics, while ‘Sport’ mode has been renamed ‘Scorpio’ mode.

All models are powered by the same 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine. It produces between 145hp and 180hp depending on the trim level, with the more potent Competizione and Esseesse cars receiving a bigger turbo.

Other changes to these sporting models include a locking differential, uprated suspension parts and Brembo brakes. The Competizione gets a sports exhaust too.

The basic models feature a five-speed manual gearbox, although a paddle-shift automatic option is available across the range.
