  • ...Could this be the last new Fiat for North America?...

2020 Fiat 500X Sport - interior.jpgFiat's future is uncertain in North America as the brand struggles to find sales.  Already, the Fiat 500 has been dropped from the lineup in North America, and that was one of the better sellers.  The Fiat 500X is more of a crossover hatchback. It shares its platform with the fantastically more popular Jeep Renegade.  Still, even in spite of its sales troubles, Fiat is releasing a refresh of the 500X Sport for 2020.

The new 500x Sport gets new front and rear fascia designs, a black roof option, dark finished headliner and pillars, new sport seating, an updated version of uConnect with a 7-inch display including navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A new exterior color "Rovente Red" is being added. 

The 500X Sport is powered by a 1.3-liter turbocharged MultiAir III engine. The engine produces 177 horsepower and an impressive 210 lb.-ft of torque while also delivering 30 mpg highway.  Fiat points out that this is the only car in the class to have AWD standard and also get 30 mpg highway.

The 2020 Fiat 500X Sport starts at $26,895 before destination charges and will be available in the first quarter of 2020.

    I really don't think this is much smaller than any compact CUV. I'm surprised how large they are when I see them in the wild, not that they're actually "large" but that they aren't near as small as I think of anything with the Fiat 500 name.

    Pretty much the same size as the Renegade that it shares a platform with.     And it's already been here for a few years, this is just an update.

    I like the overall dash layout and the way it looks. 

    (So, that would be my lowly contribution to this thread.)

    Has FCA not learned that nobody in the USA wants a FIAT 500 (regardless of trim level)?!

    Those don't even sell at reputable brands.
