The insurance groups for the 500 Abarth models, both with and without the Esseesse kit, have been finalised.
The standard 500 Abarth is in group 13, while the Esseesse falls into group 14.
Both have a security rating of T2, which means there's an immobiliser only, and no alarm - just like the GPA.
What is a little concerning, though, is the 'U' group suffix. Quoting from the ABI, this means:
"Cases where the level of security for the model concerned is regarded as Unacceptable. This does not mean that the car will be uninsurable but consumers should be aware that individual insurers may insist on the security being upgraded before providing cover."
