New 2025 Abarth 600e Scorpionissima Review | Electric Hot Hatch With A Scorpion Sting?

Today on Buckle Up Harry finds out if the Abarth 600e Scorpionissima the electric hot hatch we've been waiting for? In this full review, we get behind the wheel of Abarth’s bold new EV to see if it delivers the performance, character, and fun factor the brand is known for. With its aggressive styling, punchy powertrain, and unique sound design, the 600e aims to bring the classic scorpion sting into the electric era. We take the Abarth 600e Scorpionissima through its paces and break down its driving dynamics, design details, and overall feel on the road. How does it compare to the hot hatches we've grown to love—and more importantly, can it compete in a segment that’s quickly evolving? To find out, we line it up against some of its electric rivals, including the Mini Cooper JCW Electric, Cupra Born VZ, Renault Mégane E-Tech, Peugeot e-208 GT, and the surprisingly potent MG4 XPower. But we also take a look at how it stacks up against some of the best internal combustion hot hatches, such as the Hyundai i20 N, Volkswagen Polo GTI, Ford Fiesta ST, Toyota GR Yaris, VW Golf GTI, and the beloved Honda Civic Type R. If you're a true hot hatch enthusiast—or just curious about the future of performance EVs—this review is for you. ----------------------------------- BUY OUR MERCH: https://shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/buckle... ----------------------------------- Join Channel Memberships:    / @buckleupshow   ----------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media!
