What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
A push of the oddly placed start/stop button brings the 500X to life with little fanfare. A highlight here is the round ball-shaped gear level which falls to the hand in a super comfortable grip. Slotting in too first gear, the Fiat 500X takes off easily and shifts up through the cogs smoothly. There is very little NVH to speak of but the engine does sound strained at high revs.

What is the Fiat 500X like inside?
The interior of the Fiat 500X is spacious and will accommodate five occupants including the driver. While both the Cult and Connect derivatives offer cloth seating, the standard trim is well specified with contrasting panels on the dashboard and door cards. As standard features a Uconnect infotainment system that offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy navigation and media consumption.
Style
While the interior comes with a slightly more sophisticated design than that found in the Fiat 500 hatch, the exterior very much resembles that of the hatch model. Most notably customers will find the dimensions as well as the ground clearance increased with stylistic changes to the proportions of the headlamps and taillamps.
