The manufacturer will offer the new crossover in two versions. The first is intended "for young and active urban residents," while the second is designed for owners who like to drive on light off-road terrain and will likely feature improved off-road capabilities with a corresponding design.
The length of the new crossover with its striking appearance is 4250 mm (the "off-road" version is 2 cm longer), width is 1800 mm, and height is 1600 mm. The luggage compartment holds 350 liters.
The Fiat 500X engine lineup will include 1.4-liter MultiAir petrol engines ranging from 120 to 170 hp. Additionally, there will be a 110-hp E-torQ engine with 1.6 liters and a 184-hp Tigershark family engine with a displacement of 2.4 liters. The diesel family will feature 1.3-, 1.6-, and 2.0-liter MultiJet units with outputs from 95 to 140 hp. Transmissions: 5- and 6-speed manual gearboxes, a 6-speed "robot" or a 9-speed automatic. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive will be available.
Serial production of the new "crossover" will be established at the plant in the Italian city of Melfi, where the Jeep Renegade (a platform sibling of the 500X) will also be assembled. Sales will begin at the end of this year.
