The restyled first-generation Abarth 595 is a compact performance hatchback offered in Cabrio and Mini 3-door bodies, pairing small-car dimensions with a sporting character that still suits everyday city driving.
The Abarth 595 engine in these versions is a turbocharged 1.4-litre gasoline unit sending power to the front wheels. The choice sits mainly in the transmission: the 1.4 MT Nuvolari uses a conventional manual, while the 1.4 MTA Nuvolari and 1.4 MTA Turismo use a robotic gearbox that shifts without a clutch pedal.
Abarth 595 trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it. The 1.4 MTA Nuvolari, for instance, is offered with Nuvolari equipment configurations, so the powertrain stays the same while the trim shapes upholstery, interior finishes and comfort or infotainment content.
