There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all configuration when it comes to the 2016 Fiat 500X. It’s available in five distinctive trims, so you can find a version that fits your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Highlights include the Easy trim, which feels elevated with perks like a passive entry system and available remote start;

With a dozen exterior color options available, the 2016 Fiat 500X can come splashed in a hue that feels true to you. If you’re looking for an option that stands out in a parking lot, check out the cheerful color options like yellow, orange, and red. For something a little more subtle, you can opt for dark red or deep blue. Silver, white, and black exterior paint options work well if you want something more sophisticated.  

3. Relaxed driving experience 

You’ll barely feel the jolt of driving on a rough road in the 2016 Fiat 500X. Its suspension is tuned to expertly smooth out bumps and ruts. The subcompact SUV also weaves in and out of traffic seamlessly, thanks to its pint-size body and nimble handling.

Remove or lower the floor partition in the trunk of all but the base trim to squeeze in bulkier items, like coolers and suitcases. You can also flip the front passenger seat forward to store longer items toward the front of the car.
