- First drive in the NEW Abarth 595 Esseesse. I got to drive the newest flagship car from abarth and see what it was like. The Abarth 595 Esseesse sits at the top of the Abarth range and also sits higher than the 595 competizione. As part of Abarths 70th anniversary it has a very nice 70th abarth stitching in the carbon sabelt seats alongside a side brushed aluminium plaque and the akrapovic exhaust. What about the price of the 595 esseesse?
I hope you enjoyed this first drive and also got a chance to see the brand new 2019 Abarth 595 Esseesse out on the road.

Wow mate. Amazing turnaround and great video. The bit people don’t see...Drive this car yesterday, drive home and then work into the early hours of the morning editing to get the video out today 👏👏👏
Thanks mate. Yep finished around 11pm last night. Long day! It was great seeing you! Look forward to next week!
Great review Stef ,another cool Abarth from Italies factory,I'm a pleased owner of a red comp 595,it's smiles per mile
Correctly pronounces it as 'essay-essay' as confirmed by Abarth themselves, ten seconds later calls it an 'ess-ess' 😂
It was a long day 😂😂😂
in Italian it is pronounced "esse esse"
Francesco Olivieri exactly, the way Abarth told you to say it is how British pronounce it.
@@CLAUDIOILTEXANO sono italiano credo di saperlo .... ;)
@@CLAUDIOILTEXANO no nato in Italia , ancora qua ;)
love it - Stef Abarth UK should just give you one!!!!!!!!! Good review as always
Great video Stef - love the esse esse - those carbon bits add substance to a car that’s a hoot to drive
It's great to just see the genuine pleasure you have when you first settle in....you can't fake that excitement ....cheers
Thanks man. Yeah love these little cars :)
Absolutely love this channel, the main Reason why I purchased my 500 abarth esseesse 👍👍👍
Thanks dude!! Hope you are enjoying the car!
Thanks Stef.
I've just ordered mine... and after seeing your video I can't wait to drive it!
Awesome Dude! You will love it
I always love your editing. Nicely done.
Thanks Gary
Love the design of the new esseesse! Your Vids are always done well and pretty interesting Stev. Greetz from berlin/germany
Thanks man! Thanks for watching 👏
I like your vids Stef. You're putting a lot of effort in it and your enthusiasm is addictive. Keep up the good work.
Thank you buddy!
@@StefABtv Got to thank you. Your Porsche 992 vid made me subscribe.
Great video mate ! Love the car it’s stunning
Thanks man!
So clean looking, always loved the original. Hopefully get my 595 comp out to a few events. Nice video 🙌🏼
The car looks good in that color and it sounds like a beast...😎
same colour as my Abarth 500 :)
@@droneuk is that a CAMPOVOLO GREY or a white ? Thanks
Stef, as always great review buddy! Would love to see a 595 vs 595 Turismo vs 595 Competizione drag race to see if there is much of a performance difference 👍
That’s a hard video to make and an expensive one too! Would love to make it but to rent a runway to do it properly would cost a fortune
My comp would win. 😂
El nuevo SS preciosos. Como siempre buenos vídeos, no esperamos otra cosa.🤟🤟🏁
Gracias! 👏👏👏
Love it!! 🤘🤘
I really hope some day you get another abarth!
Inject this into my veins 😍😍
I swapped my Abarth 500 for a BMW 1 Series with some dude on Facebook.
That BMW had a dodgy engine. Ended up selling that thing and lost a lot of money because of it. Lesson learned. Don’t swap your Abarth on Facebook.
Dickhead.
Or more importantly ( !! ) Don't buy a BMW or Mercedes without getting it checked over by a good Mechanic first !!
Great review 👍👏👏👏
🙌🙌🙌
Cracking video as always, already edited my vid of this car for next weekend and it’s safe to say we had very similar opinions which I’m pleased we share the same agreement 👍
I must admit I prefer the sound of the Akrapovic exhaust over the others in the 595 range. I'm also loving all of the carbon on display!!!
Loving the enthusiasm mate 👍🏻 I can tell your a petrol head just like all of us 🔥
(Had to edit) Why can't every other brand do the exhaust noise like The Fiat500.. (are you listening BMW) 👍🏻😁
Haha cheers mate!
*Love this car! Hope you enjoyed this first drive video guys! Follow me on Instagram: @stef_abtv and leave a like if you enjoyed the video* 🙌
Do you know if the Sabelt of Competizione will have the 70 ?
Hi, would you change, an Abarth stage 3 for a Clio RS 2018? Thanks bro
Stef, what’s the bhp diff to the new comp? Plus, you heard of anyone with issues with the monza on the new competizione? My silencer is being replaced next week.
Yeah ya prob right mate 👍🏼
Great video and excellent car! Love it, wish they were available here in the US. I'd trade in my Abarth 500 for it!
Same here!
Just one word: Masterpiece!!!😍
Aside from badging, wheel colour & the exhaust, no difference between a Comp with the PP?
It comes with the LSD as standard rather than buying it as an optional extra on the comp
Stef ABtv at least for the Italian market it’s still a 1900€ option
But in real terms your not going to need it on the road. The LSD
What do you recommend between Essessee Vs Comp with Performance Pack?
... I think I much prefer the Monza as it's a little more vulgar.
Is the Mech LSD a game changer??
Please Stef, I'm on the verge of getting one.
I would get an Esseesse personally mate
@@StefABtv How come? A bit more in the cabin too?? Those seats look ace.
Am I correct in saying these can be mapped to around 230bhp 280ftlbs as it comes out of the box?
Correct. With the 1446 turbo it’s capable of 230 with an intake and intercooler. As is can be mapped to over 200bhp with no additional mods
Stef ABtv that’s the beauty with these things. The only thing that lets this car down is the power from factory, but a few mods make it a serious weapon. I like to think of it as Jekyll and Hyde..
I want this..Sucks we can't have this here in the states.
Can the wheels not be white or would you have to pay for another set
If you wanna go full noise mode :
Open the hatch, behind the engine there is a plug , Unplug it.
The valve will not be controled anymore.
Because even in sport mode , the valve closes sometimes ( first and second gear)
A pleasure
👏👏👏
@@StefABtv my pleasure brother, I bought a Rivale because of you btw xD
I love the Seats
You've Put on a Few Pounds. Nice Vid btw.
is this a euro version only or can US get this? If the states cant get it what is closet or addons to an US abarth.
Euro only I believe
What’s the insurance like on these abarths? Would they be pricey in London?
595 has a bigger engine than the 500? Or is it the same?
Same 1.4 turbo. Comp and esseesse have a better turbo though
cool to see the Abarth back. Shame about to many ads spoiling the video all the time
Sorry dude but youtube doesn’t pay much so as creators we need to recover some costs from producing these videos
My favourite abarth ever,what I’d do to get my hands on one 🤪
Please bring this car to the USA!
That is wishful thinking we will keep getting the old version that look the same year after year.
@@bh2155 I dont care about the looks staying the same, it is a classic looking cool car...I want a more powerful engine.
@@buildmorefarms1007 Just get your "regular" abarth tuned, you can make more power than this one very easily. Not only more power, it'll come in smoother and just flat out run better too.
Wow this car looks good. So much better than the stale old American versions that we get year after year. If I could get an Abarth like this I would buy it tomorrow.
Merci 👍
GUYSSS I JUST WANT IT.....I NEED IT.....I LOVE IT
Haha yeah man! It’s mega!
@@StefABtv we are 19k subs, just 2€ from each one and i got it xD
anyone know what the largest rim/tire size you can put on the 500 abarth?
Wouldn’t want to go more than 18s man
I like the exhaust
Yeah me too man
You should have a go in my car Steph comp mk 4 chipped intercooler actuator Oz wheels 210bhp/250nm MTA I’ve set it up as a quick town car I love it
noticed giulia, start to think "why this dude is not mentioning that", than you mentioned :D
Haha good eyes. Yep I spotted it 👏
nice this 595 but i want to see a coupe 2 seater GT Essesse!
That would be madness but I doubt we will see that
I run a 911, but these cars are just fun fun fun
Exactly! Great fun 👏👏
Mate stupid question but what's the main difference under the skin between this and a 595 COMPETIZIONE 177 BHP as I hoping to get 595 but on a limited budget and they look very similar in the brakes suspension and power department cheers Marco Ps love all the Abarth stuff you do don't stop !!! lol
Mechanical lsd standard and carbon buckets really.
Ta old boy appreciated 👍
Great car, great Video. But your drivingposition is to far away from the steeringwheel ;)
I feel like the exhaust noise has been hit by the WLTP exhaust emissions it definitely doesn't sound as good as it used to however that could be the difference between everyone's recording equipment on youtube
Hi Stef, Is this a CAMPOVOLO GREY or white ?
Campo grey 🙌
Great video but another parts bin special from Abarth.
Would you rather the Esseesse or the 124 GT?
The problem with the seating position is that there's no wheel adjust to bring the wheel closer which ends up with you sitting in a funny position if you want room to heel and toe, this on top of the fact that you sit very high in it (because it's a super mini as standard not a sports car) makes for an awful driving position. That said, they are quick, with nearly 200bhp the 0-60 time betrays how fast they can feel through the gears, they struggle off the line because of limited weight over the front wheels (the engine is pretty light) so are actually faster when they have in gear traction than the 0-60 time shows.
I think I’d struggle to chop my 595 comp with performance pack in for one of these, as cool as they look. £25k is a lot. The PP gives you everything you need, the exhaust is the only difference I’m spying 🤔
If you have PP then you already have the diff so you are best keeping the comp.
@@StefABtv is the differential not included in the comp without PP?
Another great video mate. I still need to go in a spin in a Abarth 500/595. Even in the price is above 25 grand, it is still s good price. Just the amount of carbon fibre like you said and a few more specs...makes the car worth the money. And if in the UK people find these cars expensive...go buy one in Portugal then. Lol. You are still paying 13,000€ to 17,000€ for a 2009 Abarth 500/595. An Abarth Grande Punto is still ranging 11,000€. I just love this car.
Steff the disc brake are not drilled are they?
Cheers bud. Take care
They are drilled discs mate
@@StefABtv Hi Stef. Thanks for the reply. Good to know that.
Looking foward to your in depth review of this car.
Cheers
Cheers buddy
0 to 60 in 6,7s??
Next video. " I've sold my 4C and I've ordered an Esseesse " 😁👍👍
Lol!
The pop and bang exhaust is on top of my shit list, all cars now sound the same because they are all fast, muted and requires an exhaust with fake pops and bang mapped into one of the twenty driving settings. I am now an advocate of electric cars because the internal combustion engine is dead, certainly the NA engine. Sorry for my moaning Stef I am grieving, I still enjoy your fantastic journalism and your enthusiasm to our dying hobby.
Good review, they should have given it at least 200 bhp..
Giovanni Gallo 👍 and 6 gear
wot bhp is it is it quicker than a feiesta st
180bhp
in the US they still show the 2018 abarth on the fiat website and there has been zero inventory in Phoenix and Chicago for 6 months. my guess, they're out of the US market.
Makes me so sad, just got an abarth and I'm in love with it
Merece la pena en pleno 2024 este artefacto?
Nice Video but aside the akrapovic i didnt understand what is the difference between this and the comp
The diff as standard unless you go for the performance optional extra on the comp
@@StefABtv the seats, the white rims, the limited colours
Once again a “new” Abarth, comprising the old one, with added bits of plastic, some badges and an aftermarket exhaust. Sad to see such a lack of investment in a fantastic brand.
But it does have an LSD fitted as standard, and that's significant. Not sure if suspension setup is upgraded like in previous Esseesse packages though. But I agree, they're a one trick pony at the moment, now that they've pulled the 124. They should be building their range, not cutting it.
@@stevemiller2651 unsure how lsd as standard is significant.
It's avaliable on the comp in the performance pack as are the carbon back sabelts. You can also buy the akra exhaust from Abarth. So essentially you are getting some stitching in the seats plastic badges and some white wheels.
@@jmacca4493 because they're fitted as standard, not an option. Of course they're not free either but the price is yet to be announced.
It still looks much better than the one that we get here in the States.
When can i buy one ?
Should be able to order one now I think
Bummed the US didn't get Sabelt seats
If I jumped in to that, it would be no difference to my comp. I took the c4 out and so much power and speed. Puts the Abarth with its front wheels over its headlights in embarrassment. Just like a puppy with its paws over its ears.
Shame the dash doesn't have carbon fibre
Fk I thought you passed them on the wrong side. But its the UK lol
😂😂😂😂
Can you do an abarth parts giveaway😩😩
Haha would love to if Abarth Uk got on board
Disappointing as it’s literally a comp with a different badge with a £4K price increase. Would have hoped the car was more different
Sorry but i think the current 500 shape is becoming a little past its sell by date
Agree it would be great to see a refreshed look but they still look incredible imo
Problem is it sounds like the next car will be electric. They will keep this platform going with some minor updates along the way, but it already feels out of date. How long can they keep peddling it? I say this as a huge fan of the brand!!
If it ain’t broke..... it’s a retro take on an icon. One reason I like Porsche design. It’s also a good way to keep enthusiasm in the models
Greg Lamb absolutely but the issue is more fundamentally the hardware. It’s a chassis that’s old now, still has a five speed manual when it should have had a six speed years ago. I’m not knocking them, I love them, I’m just concerned with Fiat as a whole at the moment.
Lol I wonder if I could get those seats shipped to the USA somehow
Surely you can. Might cost a bit lol
I really think abarth need to make a bit more effort, there's really nothing new on this one aside from a few trim changes, parts bin special. Great car of course but can't they just add something really new and interesting to the mix?
White wheels remind me of the 80s in a bad way and why only grey?
Alan, why should they? The 595 will always be a car you love or hate, it doesn't need that technical revolution... It's a small hot hatch made for having fun, it's a timeless car. Putting all the new technologies in it will make it loose his character. You may think I'm crazy but I ordered the new esseesse and I'm going to sell my 2018 Leon Cupra...Why? Because there is no real emotion while driving the Cupra, I could never establish a relationship with it. It is a perfect car, very reliable, full of new technologies... But I want to drive with a smile on my face.Took the Abarth for 5 minutes and I knew I would buy it...
I miss my competizione. Might buy a new one in a couple of years when it's time to sell my giulia
0:04 then 0:27 😂
Lol it was a long day 😂😂
Not as raspy as I’d like. No pops & bangs 😕
Euro 6 emissions can be blamed for that
25295.00 pal
Still has the 500 on the dash which is annoying! Nice car though
It is still essentially a 500 though.
You don’t have the 500 if you take the carbon fiber
What a silly statement ! I don't mind having 500 on the dashboard as soon as I have the Garrett turbine and 70th badge on both side on my own 595 ! 😉
don't get it.. just save money and tune your 595 comp or for 25000 get a bipost0
First 😊
Easy now 🙌
Well if you want to say it properly then you have to say Abarth Cinque Nove Cinque/cinquecentonovantacinque EsseEsse 😉
Haha. That’s a handful 😂
Regular 500 abart is louder
Always wanted an abarth, but won't until they get rid of the 500 on the dashboard and boot! Really lazy by abarth!
Keep both hands on the wheel yer muppet !!!
Essay-essay... 🤦♂️
£25k? Mental. Fiesta ST.
Don’t care how aggressive they try to make it look, it’s a hairdressers car; or a car for the wife.
That’s your opinion. Mine is it’s not 👍🏻
Stef ABtv no worries👍. Only because my wife says it’s ‘cute’ 🤣. I’m sure it’s a blast to drive and probably quicker in the twisties than my GTA.
Omg racing seats high performance exhaust for a 180hp car that’s comical this is a 20s 1/4 mi car but seems much much longer in the car.
Not all about 1/4 miles. If you wanted to do a quarter mile you wouldn’t buy this car. You would buy Turbo S 👀
My wife got the 595 Abarth Turismo last year which she loves, after watching this review of the Esseesse and @stefabtv stating it will be over 25K I went on the Abarth site, and in my honest opinion you'd be better getting the COMPETIZIONE with the performance pack, adding the pack gives you a better car at a lower price and the 70th anniversary logo and seat stiching come on all this years Abarth range.
Nice car but not 25k+ nice
Keep the videos going Stef. Just bought my first Abarth last week. I'm addicted....wish I'd bought one years ago!
