Which Abarth 695 Version Should You Buy?
The Abarth 695 range in this catalogue divides into a Mini 3-doors generation dated from 2009 to 2016 and a restyled Cabrio beginning in 2016. The choice is mainly between the 190 hp 1.4 MT Biposto, several 180 hp manual or Robotic versions, and the 165 hp 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha.
The Abarth 695 range in this catalogue divides into a Mini 3-doors generation dated from 2009 to 2016 and a restyled Cabrio beginning in 2016. The choice is mainly between the 190 hp 1.4 MT Biposto, several 180 hp manual or Robotic versions, and the 165 hp 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha. Every listed version uses a 1368 cc turbocharged Gasoline engine with 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, front transverse installation, multi-point distributed injection and FWD. The performance-led choice is the 1.4 MT Biposto: it has the highest output, the lowest listed kerb weight and the quickest acceleration. For a balance of performance and consumption, the 180 hp Robotic versions are close alternatives, while the restyled 1.4 MTA is the only Cabrio in the data.
Abarth 695 generations and versions
The first generation runs from 2009 to 2016 and has a Mini 3-doors body. Its catalogue contains 12 entries: 1.4 MT Biposto, 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha, 1.4 MT Rivale, 1.4 MTA Rivale, 1.4 MT Anniversario, 1.4 MT, 1.4 MT Turismo, 1.4 MTA Turismo, 1.4 MTA Competizione, 1.4 MT Competizione, and two entries named 1.4 MTA. The duplicate 1.4 MTA entries are distinguished here by their acceleration and economy data: one records 6.9 seconds and 6.7 l/100 km combined, while the other records 6.8 seconds and 6.5 l/100 km combined.
The first-generation restyling begins in 2016 and changes the listed body type to Cabrio. It contains one version, 1.4 MTA, producing 180 hp and 250 Nm. Compared with the first generation’s 180 hp 1.4 MTA that records 6.8 seconds to 100 km/h, the restyled car has the same output, torque, acceleration and top speed. Its listed combined consumption is 6.7 l/100 km rather than 6.5 l/100 km, and its kerb weight is 1070 kg rather than 1060 kg.
Abarth 695 engine specs
All versions share the same fundamental engine specification: 1368 cc, Gasoline, 4 Inline cylinders, Turbo, and a front transverse layout. Output is what separates them. The 190 hp 1.4 MT Biposto develops approximately 138.9 hp per litre. The 180 hp versions produce approximately 131.6 hp per litre, while the 165 hp 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha produces approximately 120.6 hp per litre.

The 1.4 MT Biposto reaches 100 km/h 0.8 seconds sooner than the quickest 180 hp manual versions and 1.4 seconds sooner than the 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha. Its top speed is 5 km/h above the 180 hp cars and 13 km/h above the XSR Yamaha. The trade-off is consumption: the Biposto’s 6.1 l/100 km combined figure is 0.1 l/100 km higher than those of the 1.4 MT Rivale and 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha, and 0.3 l/100 km higher than the 1.4 MTA Rivale.
Among versions with complete city, highway and combined measurements, the 1.4 MTA Rivale has the lowest figure in every consumption category: 7.6, 4.7 and 5.8 l/100 km respectively. Compared with the 1.4 MT Rivale, it uses 0.3 l/100 km less in the city, 0.2 l/100 km less on the highway and 0.2 l/100 km less combined, but takes 0.2 seconds longer to reach 100 km/h.
Abarth 695 dimensions and weight
Length, width, height and wheelbase are not measured for any listed Abarth 695 version, so an evidence-based comparison of exterior dimensions is not possible. Ground clearance and wheel sizes are also not measured throughout the supplied data. Every version has a 35-litre fuel tank.

The 997 kg 1.4 MT Biposto has the strongest listed weight-to-power result at approximately 5.25 kg per hp. The 1060 kg, 180 hp 1.4 MTA follows at approximately 5.89 kg per hp. The 1070 kg 1.4 MT Rivale, 1.4 MT Anniversario and restyled 1.4 MTA each work out to approximately 5.94 kg per hp. At 1110 kg and 165 hp, the 1.4 MT XSR Yamaha has approximately 6.73 kg per hp. The Biposto is therefore 113 kg lighter than the XSR Yamaha and has 25 hp more.
Which Abarth 695 version to buy and why
Choose the 1.4 MT Biposto when acceleration, top speed and weight-to-power ratio matter most. Its 190 hp, 997 kg kerb weight, 5.9-second acceleration time and 230 km/h maximum are all the strongest relevant figures in the catalogue. It also combines these results with 6.1 l/100 km combined consumption.
Choose the 1.4 MTA Rivale when measured fuel consumption is the priority but you still want 180 hp and 250 Nm. Its 5.8 l/100 km combined result is the lowest listed, while its 6.9-second acceleration time is only 0.2 seconds behind the equivalent 1.4 MT Rivale. Choose the 1.4 MT Rivale instead when the Manual gearbox and quicker 6.7-second acceleration are more important than that 0.2 l/100 km combined advantage.
The 180 hp manual group—1.4 MT Rivale, 1.4 MT Anniversario, 1.4 MT, 1.4 MT Turismo and 1.4 MT Competizione—shares 250 Nm, a 6.7-second acceleration figure and a 225 km/h top speed. Where consumption is recorded, however, it varies: 1.4 MT Rivale returns 6.0 l/100 km combined, while 1.4 MT Anniversario, 1.4 MT, 1.4 MT Turismo and 1.4 MT Competizione record 6.8 l/100 km. On the supplied numbers alone, the 1.4 MT Rivale is the more economical manual 180 hp choice.
The 1.4 MTA Turismo, 1.4 MTA Competizione and the 6.9-second first-generation 1.4 MTA are numerically aligned at 180 hp, 250 Nm, 6.9 seconds, 225 km/h and 6.7 l/100 km combined. The data supplies no price, equipment or reliability measurements that would justify ranking one above another, so the catalogue specifications alone do not establish a winner among them.
Choose the restyled 1.4 MTA if the Cabrio body is decisive. It matches the 1060 kg first-generation 1.4 MTA in power, torque, acceleration and top speed, but the restyled car is 10 kg heavier and its combined consumption is 0.2 l/100 km higher. No purchase price, sale listing, maintenance, engine-oil, problems or reliability data is provided, so those factors cannot be used responsibly to recommend one Abarth 695 over another.
