The Fiat 500X is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive, five-door hatchback crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV) manufactured and marketed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles since its debut at the Paris Motor Show.
As Fiat's second four-door hatchback, following the 500L (introduced for model year 2014), the 500X is highly related to the Jeep Renegade. Both are manufactured at FCA's SATA plant in Melfi, Italy.
The 500X is based on the Small Wide 4×4 architecture, a platform evolved from the GM Fiat Small platform used for the Fiat Grande Punto and Fiat 500L.
The Fiat 500X is available with several engines that drive the front wheels by standard, while all-wheel-drive is an option with most engines. At launch, the following engines were available outside of North America: one petrol, the turbocharged 1.4 MultiAir2, and two MultiJet turbodiesels displacing 1.6 and 2.0 litres.
In North America, the Fiat 500X features the following two engines:<
In the US, the Fiat 500X comes in Pop, Easy, Lounge, Trekking, and Trekking Plus trim levels — with optional all-wheel-drive on all but Pop trim level. In Europe it comes in Pop, Pop Star, Lounge, Cross and Cross Plus trims, with the all-wheel-drive available only on the 2.0L Multijet diesel and the higher-powered petrol versions with automatic gearboxes.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2016 Fiat 500X small crossover a 2015 Top Safety Pick+, its highest rating.
