2024 Abarth 500e (155 hp) - LOUDEST EV ever!

This car looks awesome, real physical buttons, apple carplay, decent pep, quick enough charging, the fake sounds are a little funny but it's an option so I can't fault it. This car is so different and cool compared to the norm, lots of character in a fun small package.

[@nestortheemporos]

Synthesised Engine Sounds are positvely disgusting. I wish the manufacturers wouldn't bother.

[@johnnypovdrives]

Kudos to Abarth for trying. I'm curious what the future will bring us! 🔊

[@NeutralGenericUser]

trying what? They can have internal sounds for the driver. Other people don’t need to be hearing your fake engine sounds. BMW did it better

[@noodleninja3679]

My idea as to what car manufacturers could do is employ game developers like Turn 10 (the guys that make Forza) and somehow use their in-game audio files in that companies EVs. Imagine driving a Tesla with a blaring V8 coming from the speakers 😂

[@IsaccoNannini]

wow, you are one of the 42 people who actually bought it! Stellantis say thank you

[@roberts3423]

The engine sound is a smart idea, unlike what some people say, its dangerous to run silent, pedestrians/bikers won't notice you. The biggest negative with this is no shifting sound. Usually you get 1st 1 - 10kmh, 2nd 20 - 30 kmh, 3rd 30 - 40 kmh, 4th 40 - 50 kmh and finally 5th 50 - 100+ kmh. They should program sounds from video games or something.

I agree, I have just driven the electrical Mercedes G580, that sounds great outside as well as inside! 👌 Ok, it is a fake synthesised sound, but a bit more balanced than in the Abarth :).

[@AmirParkar]

What camera are you using. The videos are really good!

[@joankociko5174]

Can the external woofer be used with the rest of the audio system? Would probably sound crazy with the jbl audio

[@goodfodder]

nice review, to the point and no irritating voice

[@transgrl]

I wish electric car manufacturers would just embrace the fact its electric, no sound generators, no fake petrol simulation stuff, just taking advantage of everything an electric car can do, torque vectoring etc.

[@theozonewizard]

Crazy how similar it sounds to the petrol version. Not sure if I actually want a loud speaker on my cars, though. Reminds me of a certain South Park episode. But If I couldn't have my 595 anymore, yeah I'd probably get one of these.

[@theozonewizard]

On second thought, after finding out it weighs over 50% more, I'd probably pass on the new one.

Such a nice car, but for almost the same price you can have a Model 3 with higher range and more technology, also more space inside but this is definitely cool

There's a lot of uproar against ev cars with artificial engine sounds. Although they could have done it a bit better, it's very cool in my opinion. It's certainly a hommage to the past and ice cars, and hope in the future we can chose in-between having a ice car sound or others too

[@johnnypovdrives]

It’s great that Abarth tries to make a difference, at least it’s not boring! 🥳

[@lucasroper46]

I agree. It’s nice to see car brands trying something different.

[@rp9674]

It should only fake noise while stopped, then make a fart noise, then silence as it accelerates

[@dearlove88]

I just couldn’t bring myself to buy this car. For the same money there are such better EV’s out there that beat this in every metric, besides looks, I do love the look. Although the Cupra is a pretty car too. Ultimately I couldn’t go past the bang for buck that is the MG4 Xpower

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks for sharing! I also love both the Cupra Born & the Abarth 500e as a compact EV... The MG isn't that compact, but I really need to get my hands on an MG4 Xpower... seen it accelerate, that's a TRUE rocket! 🔥

[@Lucas-vd2gx]

This car was not meant to be electric, it was done as a rushed project, that this way the engine bay sits differently and the charging port is so deep

[@johnnypovdrives]

Is it? It is based on the Fiat 500e and I guess that car was developed as an EV from the ground up.

[@Lucas-vd2gx]

@@johnnypovdrives It was not, it is not a dedicated platform for EVs. Take a look at the front overhang and what I mentioned above (engine bay/charging port), also it is front wheel drive, they did not have the space in the back. Also, floor is not level, there is a tunnel in the center. Fiat is known for adapting their platform. There are scenes from the Documentary Fiat released a couple of years ago and all of the above was visible in the video.

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@Lucas-vd2gx Oh wow, indeed, found this online: "Officially, Stellantis says the Cinquento is EV-only but the platform is ICE-compatible"... Those sneaky Stellantis marketing boys & girls! 😬

[@Lucas-vd2gx]

@@johnnypovdrives lol yeah! I was gonna say it is the same with the eUp and e208. They don’t have unique platform for them so that is why they also are front wheel driving, deep charging port and rest!
