Abarth is Fiat's performance sub-brand — a specialist Italian marque that transforms small city cars into sharp, characterful hot hatches and convertibles with a scorpion badge and a distinctly louder exhaust note. In the UAE, the lineup runs from AED 125,000 to AED 228,900, covering two models that occupy a niche almost no other brand fills at this price point: an affordable, genuinely fun-to-drive performance compact.
In the UAE, Abarth vehicles are distributed by Al-Futtaim Motors alongside the Fiat and Alfa Romeo brands. Showrooms and authorised service centres are located in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with the brand having established a presence in the UAE market during the 2010s.
The UAE Abarth lineup spans two models across hatchback and convertible body styles. The 595 is the entry point, starting from AED 125,000 — a compact hot hatch offered in both hard-top and open-top form, with the range topping out at the scorpioneoro trim for buyers who want the most heavily specified variant. The 695 sits above it as the flagship, priced higher and topping out at AED 228,900 for the Rivale Convertible — a limited-edition-influenced trim that pairs yacht-inspired styling details with the most powerful state of tune in the range. Buyers choosing between the two are essentially choosing between an accessible entry into the Abarth experience and the full-fat, top-specification expression of it. Both share the same turbocharged 1.4-litre engine architecture but are tuned to different outputs, and both are available as convertibles — a rarity in this performance segment at anywhere near this price.
