Great review of a sweet car. I have a 2019 Fiat 500x Trekking model and I love it. The new 1.3 Turbo engine is brilliant with 210 lb-ft of torque at just 2200 RPM. THat is 35% more than the 2.4 Tigershark engine had. I would love to see you revisit this car with the new engine! Thanks for always giving cogent and fair reviews!
This was a great review. So refreshing compared to the dopes that NEED to nitpick and find something to say they don't like because they think it makes them sound interesting. I am driving this car, and it is my fourth FIAT. Two 500C Pop's, a 500C Abarth, and now a loaded 500X. This thing just screams quality. As you guys said, call Quality soft-touch materials and oh my God those seats! Great review!
La verdad por los comentarios y lo que muestran me gusta el 500X, yo tengo un Fiat Punto 1.6 fabricado en Brasil y es cero problemas, me imagino que con las normativas que exigentes del mercado americano el auto sera super confiable en costo beneficio, muy buen vídeo
Curious if the passenger seat height adjusts, because my 2013 500 turbo doesn't. I have a moon roof and there is very little headroom. Okay for me at 4'10", but not for 6' boyfriend. I'm in New England and am thinking of trading in my turbo for the X. The turbo is not very practical in the Winter.
It's not 40.9 as she stated. I have yet to see any of their cars at that mpg. If it was 40 I would have been all over it. We drove it for a couple days and found it performs at about 26 highway miles, about the same in the city.
The normal Fiat I understand: trade size, weight and some features for good price and acceleration. This one is like all the other cars: confusing array of prices and features and you have no clue about what you are getting, or how it compares with other cars, or what the actual performance is. How much does the all wheel drive cost? What is the performance of that $20,000 model? Who knows?
I've got this car I like it but it has rattles when you start it up and is not good on fuel I'm getting about 30 to the gallon it's not that quick unless you put it in sports mode
I don't know how you squeezed 40.9 miles to the gallon out of that car on a flat straight highway I'm lucky to push 28 where my wife's previous car a Chevy Equinox would get 36 Easy on the highway. So if you're looking for a sub compact with great fuel mileage this is not it.
Too bad all cars are nothing more than how cheap can we build it and the over use of cheap easy to scratch plastic both inside and outside of the car. My 97 Saturn SL with over 200K miles still get's 38 on my daily commute and up to 42 on the interstate with the use of a timing chain, no timing belt that can trash the engine if you don't spend over 1K to replace every 60K miles.
I have a 06 Corolla with over 300k miles. I easily do 30 on the highway. Vehicles now a days need to be more fuel efficient. Pretty cars don't always cut it. I really like this car but the fuel efficiency is a deal breaker
Statimtek This is a totall different car from the Fiat 500 (build in Mexico for the US market) or 500L (built in Serbia). This Fiat 500X is built in Italy on the new developed FCA small-wide platform (used also for the Jeep Renegade). Nobody knows how reliable this new car will be in the future. Fiat reliabilty rating was dragged down mainly by a Chryslers Uconnect System software problem (early 500+500L suffred from this problem) Now that FCA has fixed the bug(s), this will have possibly a positive inpact for the future reliabilty rating, not only for the Fiat brand but also for the other FCA brand.
I've owned nothing but Toyotas. I've owned my 2012 FIAT 500 sport since June of 2011. I've put 80,000 miles and it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. I'm very impressed. Low cost of service too
Statimtek I had multiple Fiat cars: 128 *not very reliable and thus the nick name fix it again tony, the small pick-up truck City, the sporty Ritmo TC, the utilitarian Uno, the classy Punto 2. Only the 128 and the City had rust and engine problems, after that they have been very reliable.
Frank Bruce Ya...back in the late 1970 and early 1980"s...Thus, FIAT is Chrysler, Lancia, Maserati, New Holland, Iveco, Alfa Romeo, Builds trains (freccia Rossa), Ferrari to name a few. Reliability? I had a 128, 124, original 500, X-19, Punto and Punto Abarth, 126, 127 New 500, and 500L and now a 500X and very happy.

Hi Dana, did u buy the 500x? How is it so far? Im also considering one.
Great car....great video.
Great review! How tall can u be to fit in this car?
Nardotini Paul is over 6 feet tall and cleared no problems. Its a fun car.
Perfect thank you, Review was perfect. Car looks very interesting, might have to go for a test drive Lauren Fix
Lauren Fix jeez you are one real hot and beautiful mature Lady 💘
Nardotini My driving partner is 6'2'' with no clearance issues
+Lauren Fix Congrats to ignoring the pig above. People it's the 21st Century!
Thank you for saying “occupied Malibu.” Words matter💗🙏🏽
lol
Did you say the fuel mileage was 40+? The stats are saying 21 city, 30 hwy... I really love this car, so I'm hoping you're right haha
The compact 500 is 40 mpg but the 500x SUV is 21 city and 30 hwy. You're cute.
It's not 40.9 as she stated. I have yet to see any of their cars at that mpg. If it was 40 I would have been all over it. We drove it for a couple days and found it performs at about 26 highway miles, about the same in the city.
28 is the best my wife can squeeze out of hers and that was on a flat stretch of highway at posted speed limit.
great review, can you add heated seats ??
+KRUGE67 Yes I'm test driving a 2016 this week and there are heated seats.
+Lauren Fix thank you for the prompt reply :)
I bought one in March 2016 and I added in heated seats - I LOVE my 500X. Bella is amazing!
many thanks :)
The normal Fiat I understand: trade size, weight and some features for good price and acceleration.

What normal fiat do you mean, there are many.
Thanks for the review! Does the 500x have that "fun-to-drive" aspect, found in the Mazda 3/CX-3?
Almost.
Yes it does ... :)
I've got this car I like it but it has rattles when you start it up and is not good on fuel I'm getting about 30 to the gallon it's not that quick unless you put it in sports mode
she laughs like the Nanny lol fran dresser (sp?) so cute. love the car too
it's fiiiiiiiiiiat not fiaaassaaaat, but good review.

The shifting is odd. It shifts when you less expect it.
Did he say owner. Lol. He needs to be saying da leasee.. most vehicles in north america r

Japanese? ;-)

Cute cars, too bad the reliability hasn't been so snappy.

Green of Envy on the X-19! What a forward looking car it was.
Fiat is trying to be BMW/Mini
+kevin davis Fiat has always done this kind of car
They would never want to be and are not as bad as a mini.
