Latest Cars Released in August 2015 : Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione

Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione :

Abarth finally made its Indian debut on 4th of August, 2015 with their 595 Competizione. Fiat India had previously showcased its Abarth models at the 2014 Auto Expo. The Italian automobile manufacturer finally introduced Indians to their compact performance vehicle. Fiat Abarth vehicles are iconic and have stood the test of time. It comes with a curvy body line and includes some remarkable aspects. Upfront, it has a unique radiator grille and a perforated air intake section, which is flanked by a couple of fog lamps. Its attractive side profile features an elegant set of alloy wheels as well as sporty side skirts. Coming to its rear end, there is a stylish bumper, bright tail lamps and roof integrated spoiler as well, which makes its rear profile quite appealing.


Although Fiat India discontinued the standard 500 diesel quite a while ago, the brand has made up for it by bringing one its models from the iconic Abarth range. The model in question is the high-performance 595 Competizione which is now on sale in the Indian market as a fully imported vehicle.




Exterior :


The exterior design of the 595 Competizione is inspired from the 500 Cinquecento. Adding to the standard model’s chic appearance are the sporty front and rear bumpers, Abarth decals on the sides, Scorpion design alloy wheels and massive ventilated brake discs. Additionally, this hot hatch features xenon headlamps, rear parking sensors and Monza exhaust system.




Interior :


Like the standard 500, the interior of the 595 Competizione is a mix of the retro and the modern. The snazzy colour scheme ensures attention at first sight while the bright round dials behind the steering favours sportiness. Interestingly, the 595 launched in India features an AMT transmission with paddle shifts mounted on the steering wheel. Meanwhile, the car comes as standard with features such as electric Sunroof, TFT instrument cluster and Fiat’s Blue & Me handsfree system with USB port.



Engine and Gearbox :


The 595 Competizione is powered by a 1.4-litre T-Jet engine that produces 160bhp of power, taking the car from zero to 100kmph in just 7.6 seconds which is quite quick for a car of this size. The maximum torque, on the other hand, is rated at 230Nm between 2,750 and 3,000rpm.This is the same engine which is also found in the Linea T-Jet although the latter features a detuned version with lesser power and torque.


Suspension :

The 595 Competizione features 17-inch alloy wheels and to make sure that it stays firmly on the ground at high speeds or in the corners, Fiat is offering a highly advanced suspension set up with front springs featuring FSD valve and a Koni FSD rear suspension.
