Fiat’s facelifted 500X is currently undergoing
winter tests in prototype form, and while we already noticed its presence at
the Arctic Circle a couple of weeks ago, this fresh batch of spy images brings
some new things to the table.
We knew to expect a new front grille, redesigned
DRLs and a new bumper, although now we see that the car will also feature LED
technology on its secondary pair of headlights, the ones between the larger
primary ones and the fog lights.
Another aspect of the updated front end is the new
grille, which is also partly visible. Not only is it larger than the one found
on the current model, but the Fiat badge also looks different, no longer
positioned in the middle of the horizontal strip. As for the rear, it should
feature new taillights and a slightly altered bumper.
Since the cabin of
the 500X was already updated for the 2018MY, any new changes will presumably be
more aesthetic in nature.
For example, since the 2018 Fiat 500X already got a
new Uconnect infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen display and a
reversing camera, further updates could include something like a redesigned
steering wheel and a more modern gauge cluster.
At the same time, new or more efficient versions of
existing petrol and diesel power units could also make their way into the
lineup. This latest update to the Fiat 500X will be applied to 2019MY cars, so
an official unveiling could take place later on this year.
