New models - Fiat - 500XFiat streamlines 500X small SUV rangeLower prices, fewer variants, upgraded equipment for refreshed Fiat 500X rangeGalleryClick to see larger images 16 Feb 2018 FIAT has given its 500X small SUV range a significant shake-up, with a drop in price, the deletion of two range-topping variants, and the inclusion of new safety and technology features across the range. Price of entry to the range has dropped by $1010, with the six-speed manual Pop priced from $24,990 plus on-roads. Swapping the manual for a six-speed dual-clutch auto adds $2000 to the asking price, which has also been chopped by $1010 over the outgoing version. Topping the range is the Pop Star, which is offered solely with the dual-clutch auto and checks in at $29,990 plus on-roads, representing a $2010 drop in price. The previous range-topping variants, the all-wheel-drive Lounge and Cross Plus, have been deleted from the range. Changes to the new line-up include a new 7.0-inch Uconnect touchscreen that replaces the old 5.0-inch unit, which features satellite navigation on the Pop Star as well as Bluetooth interface, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and voice command functionality. Optionally available is a 560W, eight-channel Beats Audio premium sound system. New advanced safety features have also been added to the 500X range, including cornering foglights, forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control. No alterations have been made to the sole powertrain offered in the 500X, a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that develops 103kW/230Nm and sends drive solely to the front wheels. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.0 litres per 100km for the dual-clutch auto, down to 6.0L/100km for the three-pedal gearbox. To commemorate the release of the updated model, Fiat is releasing a Launch Edition variant that is based on the specification of the Pop Star and adds a claimed $5500 of equipment for a $3000 premium. Priced at $32,990, the Launch Edition will be available in just 100 units and adds 17-inch alloy wheels, black leather-appointed seats, power-adjustable front seats with eight-way adjustment and lumbar support, the aforementioned Beats Audio sound system and electric folding door mirrors. The Launch Edition will be available in six colours – Gelato White, Argento Grey, Cinema Black, Fashion Grey, Venezia Blue and Passione Red. In 2017, Fiat sold 760 examples of the 500X, a 26.9 per cent jump over the 599 units it managed in 2016. These sales last year were enough to make the 500X Fiat’s third best-selling vehicle behind the Ducato van (1163) and 500/Abarth 595 (892).
