With styling cues from the Fiat 500 Abarth and 500L, the 2016 Fiat 500X is a welcomed addition into Fiat’s arsenal of small car models. What’s new? Everything. The X is Fiat's version of a feisty crossover, their answer to what outdoorsy people might want for a rugged and go anywhere type of ride. FYI, the 500X shares many attributes with the soon-to-be released Jeep Renegade.
The 500X comes in a several trim levels: the Pop (base), Easy (as seen here), Trekking, Lounge, and Trekking Plus (top-of-the-line model). There are Street Series models, which include everything found on the Trekking and Trekking Plus models, but feature an urban-look (e.g. not as much body cladding). The adventurous Trekking and Trekking Plus models allow for a more athletic look with unique front and rear fascias and silver accents throughout. The Pop model starts at $20,000 while the Easy model is offered up at around $23,000. The top-of-the-line Trekking Plus model starts at $27,100. All trim levels but the Pop models are available with Fiat’s all-wheel-drive system for an additional $1,900.

The fun factor for the Fiat 500X includes items like dual pane sunroofs, gobs of tech, ambient lighting, and Uconnect 6.5 radio system with a 6.5-inch high-resolution touchscreen and navigation (with available Uconnect traffic, travel, and also Access Via Mobile so you can download apps like Pandora, I heart Radio, etc). The all-new Fiat 500X will arrive in Fiat studios the second quarter of 2015. And unlike other North American market Fiats, this one is actually made in Melfi, Italy.
