The Fiat 500X (Type 334) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), since its debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Following the 500L, and produced from 2014 (from 2016 model year for US) to 2024, the 500X is closely related to the Jeep Renegade. Both are manufactured at FCA's SATA Plant in Melfi, Italy.
Specifications The 500X is based on the Small Wide 4×4 architecture, a platform evolved from the GM Fiat Small platform used for the Fiat Grande Punto and Fiat 500L.
The Fiat 500X is available with several engines with optional all-wheel drive with most. At launch, engines available outside of North America included: one gasoline, the turbocharged 1.4 MultiAir2, and two MultiJet turbodiesels displacing 1.6 and 2.0 litres.
In North America, the Fiat 500X features: A 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with a six-speed manual transmission available only with front-wheel drive. A naturally aspirated 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, with a nine-speed automatic with standard front-wheel drive and optional with all-wheel drive. In 2022, Fiat added the 1.5 L Firefly mild hybrid, with a 48 Volt belt alternator starter electric motor to assist the engine. This is paired with a 0.8kWh battery.
