Introduction
What Car? says...
The Fiat 500X is the big brother of the Fiat 500 small car but, beyond the retro styling, they don’t have much in common.
The 500X is, in fact, more closely related under the skin to the Jeep Renegade, with which it shares many of its mechanical underpinnings and oily bits. That makes the 500X a member of the small SUV class, with rivals including the Ford Puma, Seat Arona and Volkswagen T-Roc.
Fiat Suv 4wd
First entering the market as a 2016 model, the Fiat 500x is a unique and eye-catching subcompact SUV that offers capable engine options, an upscale interior, and exciting technology features.

Search from 854 Used FIAT 500 cars for sale, including a 2012 FIAT 500 Abarth Hatchback, a 2013 FIAT 500 Abarth Hatchback, and a 2014 FIAT 500 Lounge Hatchback.
However, while the burly Renegade is available with four-wheel drive and is generally a little more off-road focused, the 500X is front-wheel drive only and much more likely to be seen stuck in traffic than mud.
You can buy a fully electric Fiat 500 or a plug-in hybrid Renegade, but there’s no such electrification option in the 500X. Instead, there’s a choice of two turbocharged petrol engines and four trim levels, with plenty of room for customisation inside and out.
After all, many buyers considering this car are unlikely to be drawn in because of the engine choices and trim line-up. First and foremost, their interest will probably be stoked up by the 500X’s cutesy looks, which undoubtedly stand out in the small SUV class.
But is there more to the car than its stylish design? Is this a small SUV you can buy with your head as well as your heart?
We’ll tell you exactly how good it is, and how it compares to the other cars in the class it’s up against. We’ll also explain which engines and trims are the best to go for.

Fiat 500 Crossover Review
Fiat 500 Crossover For Sale
“The first of three new passenger car models” will start production in Tychy in the second half of 2022, and “preparations have already started,” according to the Italo-American automaker. As the headline implies, the newcomers will be marketed under the Jeep, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat brands.
During the 2018 Capital Markets Day conference, the higher-ups at Jeep teased an A-/B-segment sport utility vehicle with at least one level of electrification and level 3 autonomous driving technologies. The “A-UV” is likely going to go electric as well if you remember that PSA boasts six EVs underpinned by the electric version of the Common Modular Platform.
Then there's the Tonale, which was revealed in March 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show, but the specifications will differ from the concept car. Alfa Romeo has made quite a number of changes under the skin of the subcompact crossover, which slots under the rear- and all-wheel-drive Stelvio in the lineup.
As for the third and final model that will feature French underpinnings, I have this sneaking suspicion that Fiat is referring to the 500XL. Speaking to Auto Express earlier this year, head honcho Olivier François let it slip that “a blend of the 500X crossover and 500L MPV is the way ahead.”
At the time of writing, the most the e-CMP architecture has to offer is one electric motor with 136 PS (134 horsepower) on tap and a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 50 kWh. The Peugeot e-208 and e-2008, for example, offer ranges of up to 350 kilometers and 332 kilometers (217 miles and 206 miles, respectively) on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure.
