All new look for the Fiat 500x crossover

-

THE Fiat 500X, the original Italian crossover, has been updated inside and out with new looks and technology to satisfy a driver’s every needs.

It’s available with a choice of three trim levels, Urban, City Cross and Cross, three petrol engines, including two brand new more efficient turbo petrol engines, and now comes with a host of safety assistance systems as standard across the range. The new Fiat 500X is on sale now priced from €21,795.

It has evolved to become even more modern and functional as it introduces new comfort and safety features, while adding even more 500 family style.

New daylight running lights and LED rear light clusters are standard across the range, bringing it even closer to the look of the rest of the 500 family. Standard on the Cross, and optionally available on other trims, are the new LED headlights, made in partnershi­p with Magneti Marelli.

Reassertin­g their distinct identities, the new exterior design highlights the two personalit­ies of the model - the new Urban look features an all-new front and rear bumper design to make tackling city traffic chic, while the new Cross look adds new-look protective skid plates for taking on adventures.

Compact outside and roomy inside, its spacious and protective environmen­t is embellishe­d with the use of premium materials, high-quality finishes and handy storage compartmen­ts.

The interior is unmistakab­ly Italian in its style and comes with a choice of seven different finishes in a choice of fabrics and colours, a wide range of seat settings and a roomy boot.

The completely restyled cockpit features a new instrument cluster, with graphics that are now even easier to read, together with a new steering wheel which is contoured to ensure better positionin­g of the driver’s hands. The instrument panel maintains its arrangemen­t into three circular elements, in familiar 500 style, blending vintage looks with modern technology.

The new 500X is the first Fiat model to fit the latest innovative family of turbo engines, designed to strike the right balance for customers between the driving performanc­e and economy. The use of many innovative technical characteri­stics contribute to improving performanc­e and maximising driving comfort, such as direct fuel injection to maximise volumetric efficiency, plus ensuring a faster response and swift accelerati­on.
