Abarth has, this week dropped the price of its first EV, the Abarth 500e by £4,220 - meaning it now starts at £29,975. This comes shortly after Fiat dropped the price of the 600e by £4,020, meaning the Abarth 500e and Fiat 600e now start at the exact same price.

Fiat and Abarth UK have both said that these discounts are offered by the companies direct to dealers, on the understanding that the savings would be passed down to customers.

The Abarth 500e now starts at £29,975 for the entry trim level and rises up to £33,975 for the Turismo model.
