The Fiat Fastback Abarth, now with a reduced price and maintaining its 185 horsepower, emerges as an attractive option in the sporty SUV segment in Brazil.
The newly launched Fiat Fastback Abarth is shaking up the Brazilian market with a combination of an affordable price and robust performance. The vehicle, which had already generated great expectations among car enthusiasts, maintains the 1.3 turbo engine with 185 horsepower, ensuring power and agility in its driving.
The Fastback Abarth features significant modifications in its design, offering a sportier appearance. The 18-inch wheels with a wider rim contribute to a more robust aesthetic, while the rear receives a spoiler, enhancing its sporty appeal. The front and side of the vehicle also received updates, highlighting the Abarth logo and the Italian flag, replacing the traditional Fiat emblem.
Performance and Driving Dynamics
The Fastback Abarth promises an impressive performance, with an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds. Fiat highlights the improvement in speed recovery, such as from 80 to 120 km/h, which now occurs more quickly. Despite maintaining the same engine as the previous model, the driving experience is enhanced by the “Poison” mode, which provides quicker throttle responses.
