Fiat has introduced the new 500X Urbana Edition in
the United States. Set to go on sale this fall, the model is based on the 500X
Trekking and features Miron black accents on the mirrors, door handles, and
taillight surrounds. The model also has black roof rails, copper accents, and
18-inch matte black alloy wheels.
Fiat didn't release interior pictures but says the
cabin comes equipped with unique seats that have "black Castiglio
chevron-patterned fabric" and copper-colored embroidered 500 logos.
Drivers will also find a black-painted center console, Miron-painted accents,
and a black dashboard with a copper 500 logo.
The Urbana Edition package costs US$ 845 and it will be
available exclusively on 500X Trekking models which start at US$ 23,350. A variety
of different options will be available including all-wheel drive, a panoramic
glass sunroof, and a 6.5-inch Uconnect infotainment system with GPS navigation.
It remains to be seen if the Urbana Edition can help
to drive sales as the 500X has been trickling off dealership lots with monthly
sales averaging around 650 units. For comparison, the Jeep Renegade is selling
like hot cakes as Carsalesbase reports the company sold 8,974 models last month
alone
