2016 Fiat 500X review

1. Five distinctive trims 

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;

 the Lounge trim, which boosts in-cabin comfort with heated front seats and ambient lighting; and the top-of-the-line Trekking Plus trim that boasts leather-trimmed seats, automatic temperature-controlled climate system, and a robust suite of driver aids. 

2. A dozen exterior colors 

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. 

4. Flexible cargo options 

Whether you’re on a grocery run or packing the car for a family getaway, the 2016 Fiat 500X features a versatile cargo space that can help you increase space where you need it. At baseline, you get 18.5 cu-ft in the back. Fold the rear seats down to increase your storage room to 50.8 cu-ft in total. 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. 

5. Trio of driving modes 

You can tune the settings of the 2016 Fiat 500X to fit your driving style and the demands of your journey with Fiat Dynamic Selector. Standard on the Easy trim and up, this system puts three unique drive modes at your fingertips. Twist the selection knob to toggle between Auto mode for everyday conditions, Sport mode for a faster driving response and sportier handling, and Traction+ mode to maximize low-speed traction on slick or bumpy roads.
