Reviews:
Fiat 500X has been rated 5.6 scores out of ten in its styling, performance, safety and facilitating features and comfort with fuel economy. It is liked for its attractive looks, powerful engine and comfortable ride but on the other hand it is disliked for its price. It does not provide four wheel drive options in all trims while the safety features are needed to be more advanced as compared to its rivals in markets. The trekking trim is recommended on its four wheel drive option and more package options providing you with more features and comfort.
Major rivals:
It has to face competition with Fiat 500L, Mazda CX-5,Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Golf All track Jeep Renegade and Hyundai Kona. All these are small SUVs powered by same powerful engine and providing its customers with four wheel drive option and excellent for city use. The Jeep Renegade is built on the similar platform as Fiat 500X and both these vehicles match in their qualities in feature but the Jeep Renegade has more robust four wheel drive option that makes it a preference for some customers.
Pricing:
The price range for Fiat 500X Trekking trim 2019 starts at a price of 25,785 US dollars which is highly comparable in respect to its rivals and the major drawback that comes with this price is its little roomy cabin and we expect a redesign of the next model with more spacious cabin.
