The Fiat 500X (Type 334) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, since its debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

Both are manufactured at FCA's SATA plant in Melfi, Italy.[2]

The 500X is based on the Small Wide 4×4 architecture, a platform evolved from the GM Fiat Small platform used for the Fiat Grande Punto and Fiat 500L.[3]

The Fiat 500X is available with several engines with optional all wheel drive with most. At launch, engines available outside of North America included: one gasoline, the turbocharged 1.4 MultiAir2, and two MultiJet turbodiesels displacing 1.6 and 2.0 liters.[4]

In North America, the Fiat 500X features:[5]

  • A 1.4 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine, with a six speed manual transmission available only with front wheel drive.
  • A normally-aspirated 2.4 liter four cylinder engine, with a nine speed automatic with standard front wheel drive and optional with all wheel drive.
