Review automotive Fiat's dorky 500L hatchback has yet to get the consideration of U.S. purchasers, so the organization is giving it another shot with this 2016 Fiat 500X that will endeavor to ride the hybrid wave with its more SUV-like styling.
The 500X shares its stage with the Jeep Renegade and will offer a scope of four fuel motors and three diesels in Europe. While the organization has not yet reported which of these powertrains are going to the U.S., we expect the U.S.- spec 500X to offer the 170-hp, 1.4-liter turbocharged "MultiAir" four-barrel and the 184-hp, 2.4-liter "Tigershark" four-chamber imparted to the Renegade. All-wheel drive will be an alternative, and carries with it a nine-speed programmed transmission, while a six-speed manual might likewise be offered on front-wheel-drive models.
The 2016 Fiat 500X is comparative in impression to both the Renegade and the 500L, and is really 2 inches lower than the square shaped 500L. This gives it an altogether more streamlined look without forsaking the retro Fiat 500 configuration signs like round headlights and squared-off taillights with a chrome encompass. Fiat is clearly trusting that this more hybrid like look will reverberate better with purchasers.
Despite the fact that Fiat has not yet discharged photographs of the inside, we anticipate that it will look much like that of the Renegade and 500L with its UConnect touchscreen and open back seat and freight territory.
Stay tuned for more insights about the 2016 Fiat 500X as the organization discharges more data about the U.S. adaptation. As the auto goes at a bargain in Europe in the second quarter of one year from now, anticipate that it will go to our shores at some point somewhat later in 2015.
