Abarth 595 and 695 (2022). Redesigned range and price increase

While waiting for the Abarth version of the 500 electric in 2023, the manufacturer presents a redesign of its range now comprising 2 models: the 595 and 695. Each relates to its power level, namely 165 hp and 180 hp while equipment packs serve as finishes.

A catalog provided but confused

The concern being that these different packs are not all available depending on the model. And if so, sometimes there are differences. The Alcantara finish on the dashboard would thus be reserved for the 695 Turismo and unavailable on the 595 Turismo, with an obviously reduced price. The 695 model is considered more premium and is, for example, the only one to benefit from the widebody kit and the rear wing via the Racing Style pack. But it is necessarily associated with a pack, unlike the Abarth 595. In short, you get lost quickly.

The differences compared to 2021

Here’s what you need to remember from the 2021 lineup:

• The 595 Turismo, more expensive by 200 €, loses the automatic air conditioning, the BMC air filter, the aluminum cap and the dark-tinted rear windows.
• The 595 Competizione becomes 695 Competizione and registers an increase of 200 €.
• The 595 EsseEsse is removed from the catalog. Its equipment, which was superior, is optional on the 695 via the Racing Style pack (€4,000).
• The Akrapovic exhaust is no longer offered in the range.
• The 145 hp 1.4 engine is also removed, which pushes the entry-level price of the 595 to €22,990, or €1,700 more than before. Abarth adds additional equipment in return: Koni rear suspension, Garrett turbo, perforated/ventilated brake discs, fog lights, reversing radar, rain/light sensors.

The prices of the Abarth 595 and 695 (2022)

Abarth always gives the choice between the 5-speed manual gearbox or robotized with paddles on the steering wheel, for 2,000 € more. Finally, note that the 595 and 695 are still available in a convertible version, for an additional €3,000.
