Classica is the base trim throughout the 2017-2020 run. It keeps the roadster formula simple with the 160-hp turbo engine, cloth seats, push-button start, and core infotainment features.
Lusso is the comfort-focused trim across the 2017-2020 run. It keeps the Classica's 160-hp engine but adds a richer cabin with heated leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, and proximity entry.
Abarth is the performance-focused trim throughout the modern U.S. run. It has 164 hp, firmer Bilstein suspension hardware, a limited-slip differential for better traction in turns, Sport mode, and a quad-tip exhaust.
Urbana Edition is a Classica-based appearance model offered late in the 124 Spider's run. It keeps the 160-hp engine while adding black exterior accents, upgraded leather-and-microfiber upholstery, red stitching, fog lamps, and a dual-tip exhaust.
Lusso is the more comfortable version of Classica. Both use the same 160-hp turbo engine, but Lusso adds heated leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, and proximity entry for a more polished everyday cabin.
Lusso emphasizes comfort, while Abarth emphasizes sharper handling. Lusso has the 160-hp tune and a more relaxed luxury focus. Abarth has 164 hp, performance suspension, a limited-slip differential, Sport mode, and a louder quad-tip exhaust.
Classica is the simple roadster; Abarth is the more focused driver's version. Abarth raises output from 160 to 164 hp and adds performance suspension, a limited-slip differential, Sport mode, a body brace, heated sport seats, and a quad-tip exhaust.
Urbana Edition keeps Classica's 160-hp engine and basic mechanical setup but adds a darker look and a dressier cabin. Its identifying details include black exterior accents, leather-and-microfiber seats with red stitching, fog lamps, and a dual-tip exhaust.
The 2018 Red Top Edition builds on Lusso with a Bordeaux Red fabric roof, adaptive LED headlights, navigation, nine-speaker Bose audio, and bright silver 17-inch wheels. It is an automatic-only, style-and-equipment package rather than a performance upgrade.
Prima Edizione Lusso is the numbered launch edition built for the first U.S. cars. Its engine and comfort-focused character match the regular 160-hp Lusso, but an individually numbered commemorative badge and limited launch status make it the rarer version.
Abarth combines a 164-hp engine tune with Bilstein suspension, a limited-slip differential, Sport mode, a front body brace, and a quad-tip exhaust. These changes matter more to its character than the modest four-horsepower gain alone.
Lusso is the natural fit for everyday comfort. Across the 2017-2020 run, it pairs the standard 160-hp engine with heated leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, and proximity entry without the Abarth's performance-first focus.
Classica is the straightforward choice. It delivers the core 160-hp turbo engine, rear-wheel drive, cloth seats, and essential cabin features without the Lusso's comfort upgrades or the Abarth's specialized performance hardware.
For 2019 and 2020, yes. The 7-inch touchscreen became standard across the lineup in 2019. Earlier cars need a closer equipment check because the original base Classica used a smaller display.
