The ABARTH 695 (2021-) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 T-JET 180 EU6 MTA AUTO5 is a three-door performance hatchback based on the Fiat 500. In the UK, it sits at the playful, premium end of the city-car market: compact enough for town streets, but tuned for a lively drive. Its 180bhp turbo petrol engine and automated five-speed gearbox give it a sportier character than an ordinary urban runabout. In mycarcheck.com data, 31 checks covered 25 distinct cars, a snapshot rather than a large national sample. Recorded cars averaged 10,000 miles and 3,000 miles a year, with 0.35 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £20,500. Best suited to drivers seeking a quick small car for commuting and weekend fun, it has limited family practicality. Against the MINI Cooper S, the Abarth feels more compact and exuberant, with bold styling and an engaging drive; performance and personality take priority over economy.
