In early 2012, the Italian designers first introduced the conceptual version of the model called "Fiat 500X”. Specifications and external appearance of this small crossover is already interested many potential buyers. Along with this the appearance of a production version had to wait more than two years. His official debut was in October last year at the international automobile exhibition in Paris.
The Implementation of innovations in Europe should begin in the near future. With regard to the supply of the domestic market, the specific date of their beginning, the representatives of the manufacturer has not yet called. Moreover, they are not yet sure whether the model sold in Russia in General.
Whatever it was, the buyers (so far only the European) will be available options car with a full or connectable front-wheel drive. Another interesting feature of the model is that the designers have created two stylistic version of “Fiat 500X”. Characteristics between them almost indistinguishable. With this first version of the car is designed for operation in urban environments. It is equipped with a standard bumper and a small plastic kit. As for the second modification, it is more appropriate to fans of country rest, so the designers have equipped it different bumpers and a more powerful protection plastic.
Overall, the exterior of the car is very attractive and typically Italian. This becomes clear already at the first look at the new “Fiat 500X”. The photos of the car are further proof of the fact that his appearance has some features of a favourite around the world five hundredth model, as well as motifs, which are characteristic of small van “500L”. In front of the new stand out head lights of unusual shape, as well as the original air intake hole. The back catches the eye is a pretty big bumper, just huge lights and a stylish spoiler. Mounted on the leg-supports of the side mirrors give the exterior of the car speakers. The profile body should note the large door openings and wheel arches, and relatively short bonnet. According to many experts, in terms of style, the novelty should compete with the recognized leaders in this field – cars that belong to the MINI brand.
The model Dimensions in length, width and height are 4250х1800х1600 millimeters. It should be noted the caveat that in the modification with all-wheel drive machine, respectively, at 20 and 2 mm longer and higher. In addition, depending on drive and size of rims installed on the “Fiat 500X" of ground clearance is between 185 to 200 millimeters.
Separate words deserves amazing how skillfully able Italian designers to create in such a modest, at first glance, the space is so spacious and comfortable interior. Inside can fit five adult men, mid-set. Not to say that they will feel very loose. On the other hand, and closely they, too, will not. The front seats are easy to fit and good lateral support. Front panel is decorated in a very practical, stylish and at the same time restrained. To read all the readings from control systems to the driver is very convenient. In General, the interior designers expressed a preference for quite cautious decisions. Upholstered with high quality materials. In addition, the developers to the smallest detail thought out even the smallest elements in the interior of “Fiat 500X”. As for the Luggage compartment, it is 350 liters.
Already in a standard complete set the novelty is equipped with on-Board computer with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, air conditioning, modern multimedia and stabilization system, heated side mirrors and power Windows on all doors. Surcharge on the car you can install the system for preventing the unauthorized crossing of the dividing line on the road, a program of tracking the presence of the blind areas and obstacles, climate control. In addition, the potential buyer can order the leather upholstery of the cabin.
Pretty good are the new “Fiat 500X” specifications. Base powerunit for the model was the 1.4-litre engine, capable of developing power of 170 horsepower. It is solely used for vehicles with front wheel drive. Besides him, the car is available with two different diesel engines. The first of these has a volume of 1.6 liters and capacity of 120 "horses". The second engine is a 140-strong unit volume of 2.0 liters. As for the powertrain, it is available in both automatic and manual transmission. Both consist of six gears. In addition to the version with all-wheel drive is possible to install “machine” for nine speeds.
According to many experts, and first owners “Fiat 500X”, the car leaves a rather ambiguous feeling of control. Suspension of the system is very rigid, so no problems fulfills small and even medium-sized bumps of the road surface, without affecting the comfort of the passengers. Level of isolation from noise and vibration though, can not be compared with that of the high-end models, but at the same time, even when riding at high speeds the engine is not heard much. The main claims associated with the steering. The thing is that as soon as the speed reaches 120 km/h, the “catch” the car on the road becomes more difficult.
One of the main advantages, which can boast crossover «Fiat 500X” you can call it an extraordinary appearance. Not to mention the fact that the choice of the purchaser, the manufacturer offers twelve varieties of colors and eight different pictures of wheels for the car. The advantages are also high quality build and finishing materials. There is a high level and the dynamics of novelties (especially the versions with the most powerful engines).
The drawbacks of “Fiat 500X” there are only a few. Chief among them is not in the best steering. One can only hope that it was characteristic only for the pre-season test version of the vehicle and that the manufacturer will fix it at the launch of new products in the pipeline. Otherwise, without a doubt, the model will lose a significant share of potential buyers. This is not surprising, because the owners of more expensive cars-competitors (MINI models) only praising the excellent handling of the BMW. Another significant drawback of the new item can be called its price. However, now it is typical for any imported cars due to purchases in foreign currency.
The price of the model “Fiat 500X” in the European market in the most modest complete set (with front-wheel drive and manual transmission) will start at 17.5 thousand euros. Even if the manufacturer and decide the launch of this car in Russia, it is unlikely he will be in great demand and popularity. If we talk about the top version of the novelty, equipped with two-liter diesel engine and an automatic transmission, then it will have to pay a little more than 30 thousand euros. And this is even without taking into account the possible installation of additional equipment and systems, which we discussed earlier.
