Fiat continues the development of the
facelifted 500X SUV in hotter climates. 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. The design changes will all be
influenced by the current Fiat 500, including the new LED taillights that
feature a body-colored center section and circular LED daytime running 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.
However, if you’re wondering what’s going to happen to
the interior, know that we’re in that very same boat as you. The 2018 Fiat 500X already got a new Uconnect
infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen display and a reversing camera,
but further updates could include something like a redesigned steering wheel, a
more modern gauge cluster and a refreshed range of trim options.
The Jeep Renegade’s Italian cousin could gain new or
more efficient versions of existing petrol and diesel powertrains in Europe but
US-spec models will stick to the 1.4 turbo and the normally aspirated 2.4-liter
engine options.
