By Edward Cardenas

The 2020 Fiat 500X enters the compact utility market with a number of amenities and features, including Italian design, a new engine and standard all-wheel drive.

FIAT designers and engineers updated and modified the driving dynamics and performance of the five-person 500X while staying true to the brand’s heritage with design elements, such as the clamshell hood design, round headlamps and painted interior panels.

The 2020 500X comes with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, an all-new 1.3-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features.

The Italian-designed and -built 500X also has available adaptive cruise control, which is helpful for driving in urban areas, 210 lb.-ft. of torque, which is the best in its class, along with available safety features, including LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist.

Hello from the Motor City! I’m Edward Cardenas and I’m multimedia editor for Stellantis. As a lifelong Detroiter, I have been surrounded by the automotive industry. I’ve had members of my immediate and extended family work in the industry. I’ve covered it as a journalist and advocated for it as a communications professional. I have also experienced the thrills of the industry while riding in a race car at nearly 200 miles per hour. Having this breadth of experience, I look forward to drawing upon my experiences to bring a wide range of stories, photos and videos about Chrysler, FIAT and Alfa Romeo to Stellantis Digital Media. When I’m not covering my brands, I’m spending time with my wife and two boys.
