Introducing the new Fiat 500X
The Fiat 500X is ideal for those looking for a compact SUV that comes with a little extra flair. It provides a refreshing alternative to the typical rugged, boxy SUV, instead delivering a stylish retro look reminiscent of the original 500.
With the 500X, you get the added benefits of its hybrid powertrain, which makes for a quieter, and more eco-friendly overall experience. And if that wasn't enough, it's also home to a roomy and versatile interior that's fit for the whole family and then some.
So, if you like the unique charm of the 500 city car but require the extra space, comfort, and practicality, the 500X stands as a worthy competitor in the busy SUV market.
Design and Practicality
The edgy curves and rounded edges of the 500X offer a refreshing alternative to the usual boxy SUV look, making it a fun choice for city driving and beyond.
For those who love open-top driving, the 500X is available in a convertible version with a foldable fabric soft-top roof, adding a touch of excitement to the everyday driving experience.
With five doors as standard, easy access is provided for passengers and cargo alike, alongside a capacious 350-litre boot, which expands to 1,000 litres when the rear seats are folded down, ensuring ample storage for all your needs.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
All 500X models come with a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, featuring DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB ports for charging devices or playing media.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allow you to mirror your smartphone, giving you access to applications for navigation, music, and more, directly on the in-car display.
Safety is clearly an important factor in the 500X, with standard driver-assistance features including:
- Traffic Sign Recognition: Helping you stay informed of speed limits and other significant road regulations.
- Speed Advisor: Assisting in maintaining legal speeds
- Electric Parking Brake: simplifying parking manoeuvres
- Lane Assist: Providing an extra layer of security by alerting you if you begin to unintentionally veer out of your lane
Powertrain and Performance
The 500X ditches multiple engine options for one clever full hybrid setup. At the heart of the system lies a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a 48-volt electric motor, managed by a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
The electric motor provides a welcome boost in acceleration, particularly from a standstill, further enhancing the driving experience. The hybrid system contributes to a quiet and smooth driving experience that's rather relaxing when compared to many ICE-powered SUVs.
Being an SUV, the 500X won't win prizes for driving thrills, but it still manages to deliver a surprisingly nippy and engaging ride, thanks to its responsive electric motor and smooth-shifting dual-clutch transmission.
