Updated FIAT 500X

FIAT is among the few car companies that have presented updated editions of their existing models these days. This time, the Turin company decided to undergo a refreshing treatment once again with the compact crossover model FIAT 500X.

At the front, above the one-piece radiator grille, instead of the current FIAT inscription, there is now a stylized number 500. For the European market, the crossover will be equipped with newly designed rims and will be offered in combination with soft-top (Dolcevita), which will be available with Cross and Sport equipment packages.

The basic equipment kit brings 16-inch alloy wheels and a Uconnect 4 multimedia system controlled via a 7-inch display, as standard.

When it comes to propulsion, the 500X will be powered by two turbocharged petrol engines (FireFly) with mild hybrid technology. These are the 1.0-liter FireFly Turbo engine with 120 hp (88 kW) and 140 lb-ft (190 Nm) of torque, and the 1.3-liter FireFly Turbo engine with 150 hp (110 kW) and 199 lb-ft (270 Nm) torque. The Stellantis group has already confirmed that the 500X will soon be offered in a fully electric version.

Fiat Yachting Collector’s Edition – 500C and 500X

Sailing, summer and the sea are just some of the associations of the new Fiat Yachting Collector’s Edition, behind which hide the 500C and 500X models.

The new Fiat crossover 500X is equipped with an electric folding roof made of soft material. Unlike the panoramic roof on the previous model, the roof of the new 500X offers more light and open skies, without losing on structural strength.

The Fiat 500X rides on 18-inch wheels, while the door handles and mirror frames are made of chrome. The only thing that distinguishes it from its predecessor is the roof and ivory stripes that run along the shoulder line.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in white upholstery with blue accessories. The dashboard is made of mahogany with the Yahting emblem.

The smaller 500C model is also blue, but in a slightly lighter shade, and is equipped with 16-inch rims. It has chrome mirror covers and a front grille. The seats are white with leather inserts with an embroidered blue logo.

The first 500 copies will receive a badge with the initials of the country in which they were sold (Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland).

Fiat plans to become a fully electric brand

After the all-electric Fiat 500e, Fiat has confirmed its plans that its sporty version, called the Abarth, will soon hit the market. This suggests that Fiat has decided to fully electrify its vehicles.

Confirmation of Fiat’s transition to fully electric cars was given by Fiat CEO Olivier François saying: “It is our duty to bring to market electric cars that cost no more than those with an internal combustion engine, as soon as we can, in line with the falling costs of batteries. “

The announcement comes after talks between François and architect Stefano Boeri about change in urban landscapes and CO2 reduction. “We are exploring the territory of sustainable mobility for all: this is our greatest project. Between 2025 and 2030, our product line-up will gradually become electric-only. This will be a radical change for Fiat.”

Fiat plans to turn the roof track at the Lingotto factory into green hanging gardens.

“Meanwhile, in the near future, only a few months from now, I am proud that we will see the conversion of the legendary track on the roof of the former Lingotto factory in Turin into the largest hanging gardens in Europe, hosting over 28,000 plants , “said François.
