If you’re after a small crossover SUV with a bit more personality than its peers, the Fiat 500X is a great
choice. The Fiat 500X represents good value for money, has a practical cabin and a wide range of
economical engines.
The Fiat 500X has enjoyed steady progress in its manufacture and popularity among those who prefer a
small crossver SUV, also known as subcompact crossover SUV, since making its debut at the 2014 Paris
Motor Show.
But it would take another seven years before the 500X rolled out for the open market in February 2021.
This was just a month after the formation of commercial motoring giant Stellantis, through the merger of
Fiat Chrysler with Peugeot owners. The latest model has a bit more personality than its peers in the
sector a lot more style and attitude from previous Fiat 500X edition.
The 500X has kept its Italian vavavoom as it continues to be made in Italy, in one of the most modern
automative plants in the world, in the southern city of Melfi.
Apart from good value for money, the Fiat 500x has a practical cabin and a wide range of economical
engines. It’s fresher than ever and ready for any adventure 2023 has to offer.
The dynamic range of exciting models focuses on design, comfort, technology, and safety in a package
that only the iconic Fiat 500 range can offer.
Key updates have been added along with the introduction of the Fiat 500X Sport Extended Soft Top
(EST) for a limited time. The new Sport EST model offers exceptional grip and optimal handling on the
street as well as improved safety and maximum fun.
The dazzling new addition to the 500X range is defined by its extended soft top allowing iconic open air
motoring in the bold cross-over Fiat for the first time. At the touch of a button, the electrically operated
folding system offers panoramic fresh air experiences in just 15 seconds, opening virtually the entire roof
area of the 500X Sport. The 775mm x 730mm opening can be activated at speeds up to 100kmh and
features a one-touch opening, while it closes in two steps for added versatility.
Along with the standard closed roof model, 500X Sport models have stylish design cues to differentiate
them from the 500X Cross. Body coloured wheel arch mouldings, side skirts and 19-inch wheels give the
500X Sport a more dynamic stance along with Sport badging and dual chrome exhaust tips. The 500X
Sport is equipped with a techno leather and Alcantara steering wheel and a titanium styled finish on the
dashboard along with a 3.5” TFT colour cluster. The Sport theme is topped off with the binnacle cover
finished in Alcantara.

Free spirited and built for both stylish outdoor and urban adventures, the Fiat 500X Cross is a bold
character ready to take on the toughest challenges. Roof rails and skid plates along with black mirror
caps define the adventurer, sitting on 18-inch wheels and all set off by full LED headlamps and LED fog
lights.
The Cross comes standard with a soft touch steering wheel, courtesy light on the sun visor as well as
automatic dual zone air conditioning to help you enjoy the drive anytime, anywhere.
Powering your adventures is Fiat’s 1,4-litre direct injection petrol engine, available across the range in a
fully automatic six-speed DDCT transmission. With 103kW at 5 000 rpm and 230Nm at 1 750 rpm, the
Fiat 500X will conquer any adventure in consummate style. It’s economical, too, returning just 5,7
l/100km on a combined cycle.
The Fiat 500X is brimming with technology including Lane Assist that warns of veering off course and
corrects the steering back into the lane while the innovative electric parking brake keeps the vehicle safe,
anywhere its parked.
The state-of-the-art infotainment system boosts connectivity with a Uconnect 7” HD touchscreen with
navigation offering a wide range of functions, including a hands-free system, Bluetooth technology, and

voice recognition. Available with Apple CarPlay integration and Android Auto compatibility, the system
has a user-friendly interface that allows occupants to manage maps, music, contacts, and more.

really do make a difference in your everyday adventures.
With six airbags as standard, the Fiat 500X is destined to keep your adventurous spirit on track. Active
crash protection includes front airbags for driver and passenger, along with curtain airbags and side
bags. Those daytime running lights – inspired by the zero in the 500 logo – create added visibility on the
