Detailed analysis of the Abarth 695C Rivale 1.4 16v T-JET 132 kW (180 CV) Cambio Secuencial Robotizado · 179 CV (2018-2019)
General description
The Abarth 695C Rivale is not just a car, it's a statement of intent. Born from the collaboration between Abarth and the prestigious Riva shipyard, this little scorpion combines the ferocity of competition with the elegance and luxury of boating. It is a jewel on wheels, a special edition that captures the essence of 'Made in Italy' and transforms it into a unique and exciting driving experience, especially with the top down.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the 695C Rivale is like lighting a fuse of pure emotions. The 180 HP 1.4 T-JET engine roars with an addictive fury, pushing this small rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in less than seven seconds. Every acceleration is a punch to the chest, every curve a challenge that its rigid chassis and precise steering eagerly devour. The robotized sequential gearbox, although with character, connects you with the mechanics in a visceral way. And with the top down, the symphony of the exhaust becomes the soundtrack to unparalleled freedom, a go-kart feeling that makes you smile uncontrollably.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 695C Rivale is a work of art that merges the world of motoring with that of luxury yachting. Its bodywork, painted in the exclusive two-tone Riva Sera Blue and Shark Grey, is adorned with a double aquamarine line that evokes the waterline of a yacht. The satin chrome details and specific 17-inch wheels scream exclusivity. But it is inside where the magic happens: the blue leather seats, the dashboard and gear knob in authentic mahogany, and the carbon fiber inserts transport you directly to the deck of a luxurious Riva boat. It is a cabin that not only looks, but feels and smells of luxury and sportiness.
Technology and features
Although its soul is analog and passionate, the 695C Rivale does not renounce essential technology. The Uconnect infotainment system with a 7-inch screen offers modern connectivity, keeping the digital world at your fingertips. However, the real technology that matters here is the one that serves the driving: the 'Sport' button that transforms the car's character, sharpening the throttle response, stiffening the steering, and opening the exhaust valves for a thunderous sound. It is a constant reminder that, under its yacht-like skin, beats a racing heart.
Competition
In the exclusive niche of small convertible sports cars, the 695C Rivale has few direct rivals that can match its combination of character and exclusivity. The MINI Cooper S Cabrio, especially in its John Cooper Works version, is perhaps its closest competitor, offering a similarly agile and customizable driving experience. Others like the Ford Fiesta ST or the Volkswagen Polo GTI, although powerful and effective, play in a more rational and less emotional league, lacking the limited-edition aura and Italian artisanal charm that make the Abarth a collector's item on wheels. The Rivale does not compete on practicality, it competes on passion.
Conclusion
The Abarth 695C Rivale is an indulgence, an object of desire that appeals directly to the heart and not to reason. It is not the most practical, nor the most comfortable, nor the most technologically advanced car. It is something much more special: a sensory experience on wheels. It is the roar of the engine, the touch of mahogany, the wind in your face, and the admiration in others' gazes. It is a tribute to speed and elegance, a car that is bought with the soul and enjoyed with all five senses.
