The 2020 Fiat 500X Crossover Still Holding Up Brand Lineup:

Turbocharged AWD Compact Utility Vehicle, Returns For New Model Year...

While FIAT announced that the iconic Fiat 500 would be discontinued in North America after the 2019 model year, it doesn’t mean that its bigger variants like 500X are leaving anytime soon. The 2020 Fiat 500X comes into the new model year with virtually no changes, since the vehicle was heavily updated last year.

To separate its platform-mate the Jeep Renegade, the FIAT brand altered its offering last year to a more premium vehicle with several features as standard equipment where they are optional on the compact Jeep. The Fiat 500X comes standard with the 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with engine stop-start (ESS) technology and produces 177 horsepower and 210 lb.-ft. of torque, while getting up to 30 miles per gallon (MPG).

The 1.3-liter turbo is mated with a standard 9-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. This powertrain combination offers sporty and engaging driving dynamics. Because of its standard AWD system, the 500X can be at home on urban streets or for the rugged country backroads. 

While the 2020 Fiat 500X gets a lot of styling elements from the iconic Fiat 500’s Italian DNA, the 500X features comfortable seating for five passengers. The compact SUV is full of clever storage compartments and offers tons of space and utility for those who engage in an active lifestyle. Fiat 500X’s dual-pane sunroof which is available on all trim levels offers a power-sliding panoramic roof with side glass panels, which match with the body-side sheet metal which gives the small crossover a more open feel to its cabin.

With almost 70 available advanced safety and security features, including Front Park Assist and adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning-Plus, rain-sensing windshield wipers, Blind-spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross Path detection, the Fiat 500X offers some of the best safety technology options in its class.
