The well-liked 500X range from Fiat is more modern than ever and prepared for any adventure 2023 has in store. Only the famous Fiat 500 series can provide a dynamic range of fascinating models that concentrate on design, comfort, technology, and safety in one package. When Fiat introduced the 500X, it reimagined the legendary 500 concept by preserving all of the wonderful things about the Fiat 500 and fusing them with the practical trend towards cross-over vehicles and the experiences they bring. Important modifications including the temporary debut of the Fiat 500X Sport Extended Soft Top (EST) have been made since the 500X's premiere in February 2021. The new Sport EST variant provides great grip, ideal street handling, better safety, and maximum fun.

Quick facts

• Fiat 1,4-litre direct injection petrol engine
• Fully automatic six-speed DDCT transmission
• 103kW at 5 000 rpm and 230Nm at 1 750 rpm
• 5,7 l/100km fuel consumption

The striking new addition to the 500X line-up is distinguished by its extended soft top, which for the first time makes it possible to drive in the trademark open air in the daring crossover Fiat. With the push of a button, the electrically powered folding mechanism opens nearly the entire roof area of the 500X Sport, providing panoramic fresh air experiences in only 15 seconds. The 775mm x 730mm opening has a one-touch opening and two-step closing for greater adaptability. It can be opened at speeds up to 100km/h.

The 500X Sport variants differ from the 500X Cross in a fashionable way thanks to elegant design cues and the basic closed roof type. The 500X Sport has a more athletic posture thanks to body-coloured wheel arch mouldings, side skirts, and 19-inch wheels, as well as Sport badging and dual chrome exhaust tips. The 500X Sport has a 3.5" TFT colour display, a titanium-styled finish on the dashboard, and a techno leather and Alcantara steering wheel. The Alcantara-finished binnacle cover completes the Sport concept.

The Fiat 500X Cross is a free-spirited vehicle designed for both fashionable outdoor and urban experiences. It is a character ready to face the most difficult obstacles. The explorer is defined by roof rails, skid plates, black mirror caps, and 18-inch wheels, all of which are highlighted by complete LED headlamps and LED fog lights.

To help you enjoy the ride anytime, anywhere, the Cross comes standard with a soft touch steering wheel, courtesy light on the sun visor, and automatic dual-zone air conditioning.

Fiat's 1,4-liter direct-injection petrol engine, which is offered across the line-up with a fully automatic six-speed DDCT transmission, will fuel your excursions. The Fiat 500X can handle any adventure with ease thanks to its 103kW at 5000 rpm and 230Nm at 1 750 rpm. Additionally, it is cost-effective, returning only 5,7 l/100 km on a combined cycle.

The Fiat 500X is loaded with technology, including Lane Assist, which alerts the driver if the vehicle is going off course and corrects the steering back into the lane. The vehicle is also kept secure wherever it is parked thanks to the inventive electric parking brake.

The cutting-edge infotainment system improves connectivity with a Uconnect 7" HD touchscreen that includes navigation and offers a variety of features, such as voice recognition, Bluetooth technology, and a hands-free system. The system offers a user-friendly interface and is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing users to manage contacts, music, directions, and other features.

Safety

Without a wide range of standard safety and convenience features that actually improve your daily experiences, the Fiat 500X's life is incomplete. The Fiat 500X is designed to keep your adventurous spirit on track with six airbags as standard. Front airbags for the driver and passenger, as well as curtain airbags and side bags, are all included in active crash protection. Along with their particular cool aspect, those daytime running lights, which were modelled by the zero in the 500 logo, increase visibility on the road. Both ABS and Electronic Stability Control are included as standard across the board. The hill-holder will make you appear professional on every uphill pull-off and relieve traffic tension as an added convenience.
