The Fiat 500X is now getting a purported glimpse of the facelifted variant. Posted by Autoblog.it, the teaser
image reveals the updated model will have a modestly revised front fascia and
new lighting units. The headlights are particularly eye-catching as they
feature integrated LED lights which sort of resemble eye lids. Further below,
there are restyled fog lights and circular LED lights that surround the turn
signals.
The teaser image have shown the model will have new bumpers and more stylish
taillights. The changes are relatively minor and they echo the updates that
were applied to the 2019 Jeep Renegade.
Speaking of the Renegade, engine options will likely
be shared between the two models. As a result, the 500X could be offered with a
turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder that produces 120 PS and
190 Nm of torque. There could also be a new a turbocharged
1.3-liter four-cylinder engine that has outputs of 150 PS and
180 PS, both with 270 Nm of torque.
Interior changes are more mysterious, but
Autoblog.it says the 500X will come with a new steering wheel and an updated
infotainment system. There could also be additional updates including revised
trim and upholstery combinations, but nothing is official as of yet.
The 2019 Fiat 500X will reportedly be unveiled this
fall. There’s no word on when exactly as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has
reportedly decided to skip this year’s Paris Motor Show.
