2017 Fiat 500X review

1. Stylish aesthetics 

Between its curved silhouette, charming oblong headlines, and raised stance, the 2017 Fiat 500X brims with personality. It’s available in 12 colors, ranging from eye-catching hues like yellow, orange, and red, to more subtly stylish tones, like gray metallic, sky blue, and light copper. Whether you’re cruising down the highway, taking on winding mountain roads, or running errands around town, you’ll stand out in this perky yet sporty subcompact crossover SUV. 

2. Plenty of available driver aids 

The 2017 Fiat 500X’s robust collection of available driver aids can help you find a set-up that gives you the confidence you need on the road. You can upgrade to packages with an available rear backup camera and rear park assist system on all trims. The Trekking and Lounge trim offer even more available driver-assistance features, including lane departure warning with lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear park assist system, which provides audible and visual warnings when the sensors detect an object behind your car.  

3. Versatile cargo storage 

You can make the most of the cargo storage area in the 2017 Fiat 500X, thanks to its adjustable seating. The Trekking and Lounge trims include a height-adjustable rear cargo floor that eases the burden of loading and unloading gear from the back. You can also adjust the 60/40 second-row split seats in three different configurations and flip the fold-forward front-passenger seat down to create more storage space in the cabin. 

4. Entertaining perks 

The perks on offer in the 2017 Fiat 500X make every drive feel more fun. The standard four-, six-, or eight-speaker stereo system on each of the three respective trims will give you excellent audio for your driving playlists, but you’ve also got the option to upgrade to the BeatsAudio^™ Premium Sound System with nine speakers and a subwoofer for studio-style sound. Fiat’s available Uconnect^® infotainment system, which offers integrated voice command capabilities and Bluetooth^® integration, can provide access to your streaming audio apps and navigation systems.

5. Adjustable driving modes 

You can choose a driving mode that fits your style and the terrain of your journey with the available Fiat Dynamic Selector. It offers three distinctive driving modes: Auto for everyday conditions, Sport for improved control on curving roads, and Traction+ for greater grip on slippery streets. It comes standard on the Trekking and Lounge trims, as well as on the available AWD version of the Pop.
