2023 FIAT 500X: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2023 FIAT 500X
1st generation (U.S. 2016-2023), facelifted for 2019, final U.S. model year.
FIAT positions the 500X as a small SUV that brings the rounded 500-family design into a more practical, five-door crossover shape. Its core appeal is distinctive Italian styling, city-friendly size, standard all-wheel drive, and everyday features that make it easier to live with in changing weather. Compared with more conventional subcompact SUVs, the 500X stands out less for cargo-maximizing utility and more for personality, design, and a playful cabin atmosphere.
The Pop is the simpler, classic-looking 500X, with standard AWD, heated front seats, LED headlights, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Sport becomes the top trim, adding darker exterior details, 18-inch wheels, a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters, and dual-zone climate control.
