View dealAbarth is Fiat's performance arm, and it has spent decades doing one thing: taking small, ordinary Italian cars and making them louder, harder and a great deal more entertaining. The scorpion badge has never stood for sensible.
The current Abarth line-up we price is deliberately small - two models, one hatchback and one SUV, and both of them fully electric. There is no petrol Abarth in the range we lease.
Choosing between them is mostly a question of size. The 500 is a city-sized hatchback for drivers who want character above all; the 600 is the one with more boot and a family's worth of seats.

The models we can lease today and their manufacturer data. Last updated 20 September 2026.
Abarth builds hot versions of small Fiat and Stellantis cars. Every model we price is electric, all of them carry a 3-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty, and the two cars span 3.67 m to 4.19 m - compact by any standard.
Reviewers consistently describe the brand's modern cars as brash, bright and unusually characterful for electric hatchbacks, with sharp steering, firm suspension and an artificial sound generator that divides opinion more than almost any other feature fitted to a new car.
The criticisms are just as consistent: real-world range is modest and interior space is tight. That's the trade. You're buying attitude and handling in a small footprint, not a long-distance cruiser - and the reviews that praise these cars are usually the ones written by people who drove them on a B-road rather than a motorway.
Two models, split across two body styles: the 600 SUV and the 500 hatchback. Both are electric, both carry the same 3-year / 100,000-mile warranty, and each model page below has the full trim and body-style choice.
The Abarth 600 is the usable one. At 4.19 m long with five seats and a 360-litre boot, it's the Abarth you can run as a household's only car, and it's offered in two trims. Deals start from £399.05 a month.
The Abarth 500 is a 3.67 m city car with four seats, a 185-litre boot and two trims. It comes in three body styles, each with its own page, so it suits urban drivers who want style over space. Deals start from £268.31 a month.
Every Abarth we price is electric. That means both models - the 500 and the 600 - never need a fuel stop, being fully electric.
Across the range, the battery is covered by an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty guaranteeing 70% of capacity. That sits alongside the 3-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty on the car itself.
Practically, these are short-hop cars. The 500's 3.67 m length and 185-litre boot make it a town and commute proposition; the 600, at 4.19 m with five seats and a 360-litre boot, stretches further into family use. If you're new to electric driving, our electric and hybrid leasing guides cover charging, running costs and what changes day to day.
Leasing an Abarth matches the car to a fixed term. You get a new car under its 3-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty, with the 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty guaranteeing 70% of capacity sitting behind it, and you hand it back at the end.
That matters more with a small-battery performance EV than with most cars. Nobody can tell you today what a niche electric hot hatch will be worth in three years - on a lease, that's not your problem, because the residual value (what the car is expected to be worth at the end) is the funder's risk, not yours.
FVL has been arranging contract hire for over 25 years, and our team can quote both models on personal and business terms. Maintenance packages covering servicing and tyres can be added to the monthly rental if you'd rather budget for everything in one payment.
Start with how much space you need. With only two models in the range, the decision comes down to whether four seats and a small boot work for you, or whether you need five seats and a proper hatchback opening.
The smallest and easiest to park: the 500, at 3.67 m. It's the one for tight streets, multi-storey car parks and short urban journeys, with four seats and a 185-litre boot.
The family choice: the 600. Five seats, a 360-litre boot and 4.19 m of length make it the more accommodating of the two, and it's the only one here with genuine back-seat access for passengers who aren't children.
If you want an electric Abarth: both qualify. The 500 and the 600 are electric-only, so the choice is about size rather than powertrain.
If you need seven seats or a tow car: If you need seven seats: the Abarth range doesn't cover it, since the maximum is five seats. For towing requirements, check the individual deal, and our guide to choosing your car is a better starting point than this page.
