The Abarth 600e is more proof that you can have serious fun in an EV. Considerably cheaper than a Hyundai Ioniq 5N – our favourite EV hot hatchback – the 600e follows a similar theme, not least with its attempt to engineer an exciting ‘engine’ note as you enjoy the acceleration.
The 600e lacks some of the engagement of the Hyundai, but uses clever tech to boost the handling. The car can be hustled through corners with meaty-feeling steering and quick spurts of acceleration that will put a smile on your face. The styling looks the part, too, with Abarth’s trademark scorpion graphics dotted around along with a beefy body kit.
