2019 Fiat 500X review

1. Turbocharged engine

If you're looking for a compact SUV with power, the Fiat 500X delivers. Every 500X—regardless of trim level—features a turbocharged 1.3L four-cylinder engine with 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. No matter where your journey takes you, you'll have the responsiveness needed for both city driving and highway cruising, making your driving experience even more exhilarating.

2. Standard all-wheel drive

The 2019 model of the Fiat 500X made all-wheel drive (AWD) a standard feature for all trims. So if you live in an area with inclement weather or plan to take the vehicle off-road occasionally, this compact SUV provides improved traction on slippery roads and helps prevent wheelspin and torque steer. Whether driving through rain, snow, or gravel, the Fiat 500X gives you the control you need to tackle tricky road conditions with confidence.

3. Different trim levels

When it comes to the 2019 Fiat 500X, there are three available trim options to choose from: Pop, Trekking, and Trekking Plus. Along with AWD, all 500Xs feature a set of standard features; highlights include 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and ignition, remote start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a seven-inch touchscreen, and a six-speaker sound system. You can also look out for optional features like automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, and satellite radio. Moving up, the Trekking trim includes the above features, plus foglights, rear privacy glass, and upgraded cloth upholstery. The Cold Weather package also adds a windshield de-icer and heated front seats. Can't decide? The Trekking Plus includes all of the above features and optional upgrades as standard.

4. The best of city and adventure

The compact SUV versatility of the 500X makes it well-suited for a wide range of activities. In an urban setting, you'll appreciate its maneuverability, compact dimensions, and ease of parking. On the other hand, the Fiat 500X is ideal for exploring the outdoors or taking a weekend road trip. It strikes a balance between a smooth and comfortable ride for urban driving, with the option to tackle rougher terrains if needed.

5. Italian design

Compared to other vehicles, the Fiat 500X stands out with its Italian design, capturing retro and modern aesthetics. The 2019 model saw the addition of new LED taillights and optional LED headlights, plus redesigned 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels that give the vehicle a refreshed look. Once inside, expect premium cloth seat upholstery and new steering wheel and gauge cluster designs that give the cabin an elevated feel. As for technology, the user-friendly infotainment system makes Android Auto^™ and Apple CarPlay^® integration a standard feature.
