Fiat updates 500X and Tipo

Fiat has introduced specification changes to the 500X and Tipo for the 2022 model year.

The updates include revised specification for both cars and new badging for the 500X.

The 500X is available in Club, Cross and Sport trim levels, and in two body variants: Hatchback and the Dolcevita soft top.

Its exterior has been revamped, with a new 500 logo to the front and new Fiat lettering to the rear. These two design cues were introduced in line with the new 500.

The 500X Club is equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control and a seven-inch touchscreen. Prices start at £22,085 OTR.

Cross provides buyers with a more rugged exterior and includes rear-view parking camera, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and automatic dual-zone climate control. Prices for the 500X Cross start at £23,585. Range-topping Sport trim adds an alcantara steering wheel, puddle lights, body-coloured bumpers and side skirts, and colour TFT screen. It is priced from £25,085.

All 500X models are powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a six-speed manual transmission.

The new Tipo line-up consists of three trim levels - Tipo, City Life and Cross - available as hatchback only.

Entry-level Tipo comes with adaptive cruise control, a seven-inch touchscreen with DAB and Bluetooth, and 16-inch wheels. Prices start at £19,595.

The City Life trim, from £20,595, includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and tail lights, a digital instrument cluster, fog lights and driver seat electric lumbar support.  

The Tipo Cross features a different exterior look, with more rugged bumpers and roof bars. It also gains a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, auto high beam and sat nav. Prices start at £22,595.
