The Abarth 500 range offers a more extensive variety of versions resulting from the combination of three trim levels - "Custom", "Turismo" and "Competizione - and two different gearbox technologies - manual and electrically operated with steering wheel controls.

Among the new features presented by the MY 2014 is, in the characteristic Abarth 500 dashboard, the new instrument panel with 7" digital display and TFT (Thin-Film-Transistor) technology. This new technology, offered as standard on the whole range, allows customers to view certain information, such as the lateral acceleration and accelerator pedal pressure. Additionally, the panel backlighting permits greater legibility for all instruments resulting in increased safety.

A choice to satisfy the tastes and requirements of sporty customers, offering more detailed information on driving performance. In detail, the multifunction colour display features two modes for providing the driver with the information required for safe, high-performance driving: "normal mode" with digital fuel level gauge and fuel consumption information, depending on driving style, and "sport mode" with information more closely related to performance, such as the longitudinal/lateral accelerometer (G-meter information) which takes gravitational acceleration as its reference unit.

The standard screen can display indications on the distance travelled (odometer), driving mode (NORMAL or SPORT), the headlight alignment position, the date, the time and degrees outside, the current gear and the Gear Shift Indicator and speed indication.

The digital gauge on the right shows the level of fuel in the tank, while the engine coolant temperature is on the left. This starts to provide an indication when the temperature exceeds 50°C approx.

When SPORT mode is activated, the display updates to show the longitudinal/lateral accelerometer (G-meter information) which takes gravitational acceleration (g) as its unit of measurement.

The exterior colours too constitute a new feature of the MY 2014 range: four monochrome paintworks, including a Cordolo Red with an extremely sporty flavour, presented on the stand at Geneva on an Abarth 595 Competizione, and three two-tone versions, of which the Pista Grey/Leggenda Light Blue combination adorns the Abarth 595C Turismo on show.

In detail, the long-standing classics of Campovolo Grey, Officina Red, Gara White and Leggenda Light Blue are joined Pista Grey, previously available only in two-tone combinations, and Rally Beige for the pastel colours. On the metallic side, after Record Grey and Scorpione Black, the new option is Trofeo Grey. The new choices are rounded off with Cordolo Red. There are double the two-tone options of the current range: Pista Grey matched with Leggenda Light Blue, Rally Beige with Officina Red or Trofeo Grey. Additionally, there will be an option of the new Rally Beige colour matched with beige soft top for cabrios. Finally, the new 16-inch rim, with retro-inspired design, brings the total of options to 6.

The two cars on the stand, a 595 "Turismo" and a 595 "Competizione", are addressed to two different audiences: the first for those looking for distinctiveness and the second for "racing purists".

In the first car, the tuning concerns the engine and geometry, in addition to a high level of interior and exterior details for those customers who identify with values such as the more exclusive elegance, refinement, comfort and sportiness oriented toward the world of "Gran Turismo".

In addition to the engine and geometry, in the Abarth 595 "competizione" the tuning also affects the exhaust system, with the "Record Monza" exhaust fitted as standard, and the "Abarth Corse by Sabelt" sports seats for those who see themselves as genuine lovers of sport, inspired by the full-blooded world of racing.
