by Updated Abarth Pulse 2025: Style and Power
In a world where electric vehicles are becoming the norm, Abarth continues to support traditional internal combustion engines. Although in Europe the brand has switched to electric, in South America one can purchase models with ICE, such as the updated 2025 Abarth Pulse.
The car received an updated front end, including a new radiator grille inspired by Maserati’s design. Red accents, fresh wheels, and other minor changes have also appeared. The rear end remained practically unchanged, with two exhaust pipes integrated into the diffuser.
Technical Features
Under the hood of the Pulse Abarth is the same 1.3-liter turbo engine with a power of 183 hp and a torque of 270 Nm. It runs on gasoline and ethanol, and power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 7.6 seconds, and the top speed is 215 km/h.
The interior features leather sports seats, updated door panels, and a standard sunroof. Among the technologies are wireless charging, a digital instrument panel, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen multimedia system.
Price and Availability
The updated Pulse Abarth is already available for order in South America. The starting price is around $24,600, which is significantly higher than the base Fiat Pulse version, but justified by the power and exclusivity.
Despite the updates, the Pulse Abarth remains more affordable than the brand’s European models. This makes it an interesting option for fans of sporty crossovers in a region where electric vehicles do not yet dominate. Given the trends, this might be one of the last chances to get a new car with a great engine sound and a true sporty atmosphere.
