Abarth 595 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2012–2016) — First Generation
The first-generation Abarth 595 turns Fiat's compact city car into a sharp-edged hot hatch, sold as a closed Mini 3-doors and an open-top Cabrio with a folding fabric roof.
The Abarth 595 engine is a turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol unit, modest in size but boosted for strong mid-range pull. Power goes to the front wheels only. The 1.4 MT Cabrio uses a conventional manual, while the 1.4 MTA Cabrio swaps in a robotised gearbox that shifts for you, easier in traffic.
