2016 Fiat 500X in Findlay, OH - $0

The all-new 2016 Fiat 500X is the latest addition to the FIAT lineup in North America, combining the authentic Italian design and engaging driving dynamics synonymous with the FIAT brand, together with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, unmatched functionality, and a full array of safety, comfort and convenience features.

The Fiat 500X was designed at Centro Stile in Turin, Italy, where designers leveraged the character and iconic features of the Fiat 500 into a larger and more mature package. On the exterior, design elements like double headlamps, a trapezoidal nose, the signature “whiskers and logo” face and the rounded clamshell hood pay homage to the original Cinquecento.
To be offered in five trim levels: Pop, Easy, Lounge, Trekking and Trekking Plus.

The Trekking and Trekking Plus models feature unique front and rear fascia designs and satin silver accents for a distinct, adventurous appearance.

Base power for the all-new Fiat 500X will be provided by the fuel-efficient 1.4L MultiAir Turbo engine paired with a C635 six-speed manual transmission. The available 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir2 engine is paired exclusively to a 948TE nine-speed automatic transmission on both all-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive models. A disconnecting rear axle allows for reduced parasitic loss when all-wheel-drive capability is not needed, improving fuel efficiency. The Dynamic Selector system allows the driver to choose from three modes (Auto, Sport and Traction +) for the most suitable vehicle configuration for different driving conditions.

Staring with a rigid steel under frame, control hardware for the Fiat 500X includes MacPherson struts, coil springs, high-strength steel front cross member, high-strength steel mono shell lower control arms and a stabilizer bar at the front. At the rear the control hardware includes Chapman struts, high-strength steel links, an isolated steel rear cradle, coil springs and a stabilizer bar.

Inside the passenger cabin, the purposeful and distinct Italian design carries through to the interior with clever storage, body-color instrument panel, a circular cluster display and iconic door handles. The all-new 500X is loaded with technology and convenience. Available features include: Uconnect 6.5 radio with a 6.5-inch high-resolution touch screen and navigation, Bluetooth streaming audio, Uconnect Access Via Mobile, a 3.5-inch color thin-film transistor (TFT) cluster display, Keyless Enter-N-Go, and heated front seats and steering wheel.
