500X is a crossover that expands on FIAT

1 FIAT 500X CAPABILITY AS ICONIC AS ITS DESIGN. 500X is a crossover that expands on FIAT functionality, agility and capability, delivering it all in a larger yet decidedly Cinquecento package. Now the confidence of SUV size, handling, stability and driving comfort comes to the FIAT 500 family, with a 1.4 MultiAir2 turbo engine, 6-speed manual, or a 6 speed electronic automatic dry dual clutch transmission.

2 UNMISTAKABLY I T A L I A N It should come as no surprise that the FIAT 500X was designed at Centro Stile in Turin, Italy. The enduring charm of the original 1950s FIAT 500 design continues to influence FIAT design today. FIAT 500X shares the same brilliant mix of accessibility, simplicity and driver-centric amenities that have all the earmarks of a modern classic. It encourages personal style with a generous offering of two trim levels and eight exterior colours.

3 I T A L I A N H E R I T A G E Creativity and Craftsmanship C I N Q U E C E N T O C R O S S E S OV E R Housed at the FIAT Centro Storico in Turin, Italy, the original Dante Giacosa-designed wooden master model for the 1957 FIAT 500 (shown above) serves as inspiration for today s 500X designers. With design cues that capture the charm and charisma of that very first Nuova Cinquecento, the FIAT 500X boldly adds enthusiasm to the Crossover segment with the FIAT spirit of innovation and functionality. Building on the signature whiskers and logo persona, designers and engineers added more space, utility and ground clearance. The interiors comfortably seat five while retaining classic elements like a smooth silhouette, 360-degree character lines, body-color dash panels, circular threebutton cluster and chrome door handles.

4 FIAT GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE At the centre of a major commitment to manufacturing reinvestment is the FIAT 500X, crafted in the newly updated assembly plant in Melfi, Italy. Outfitted with the Small Wide platform (one of three principal FCA architectures) and adhering to World Class Manufacturing (WCM) standards, Melfi is one of the most advanced vehicle assembly plants in the world. The vehicle platforms designed for Melfi allow for compliance with regulatory standards outside Italy, making for export-ready cars no need for further modification. The FIAT 500X exemplifies the company s widening global reach.

5 FULLY ELECTRONIC DRY DUAL CLUTCH (DDCT) A six-speed automatic Dry Dual Clutch Transmission (DDCT) uses two clutches to connect the engine and transmission rather than one. Using two clutches makes it possible to carry out power shifts without any break in power transmitted to the ground because the ratios of the second halfgearbox are synchronized while the first is in operation. This means that the transmission of torque to the wheels is not interrupted even during gearshifts, resulting in improved vehicle performance and driving comfort. A dry clutch makes it possible to achieve fuel economy ratings that are better than those achieved with a manual gearbox of the same capacity. 1.4-LITRE MULTIAIR2 TURBO ENGINE - S P E E D DDCT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The FIAT 500X offers a 1.4 MultiAir2 Turbo four-cylinder engine with a maximum power / torque output of 103kW / 230Nm. The engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission, which is standard on the Pop, or a 6-speed fully electronic automatic Dry Dual Clutch Transmission (DDCT) which is standard on the Pop Star and available on the Pop at an additional cost. *A note about this brochure: all disclaimers and disclosures can be found on page 14.
