The new 2018 Fiat 500X range has been revised with added safety features, a revamped infotainment and a slimlined model offering.
The simplified line-up now spans just two trim levels: Pop & Pop Star, offered in variations of one engine, two transmission and front wheel drive.
Subtly updated for 2018, the exterior features redesigned front and rear bumpers and revised headlights and taillights. On the inside, improvements include new interior trim with soft-touch dashboard materials and a quieter cabin thanks to extra sound-absorbent materials.
