Fiat 500X (2014-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Distinctive looks	Not the roomiest or most practical compact SUV
Much improved drive from 2018 onwards	Older examples are starting to feel their age
Lots of scope for personalisation	Shorter new car warranty than some rivals

Quick Summary

The Fiat 500X (2014-present) is a compact SUV that prioritises retro charm over outright practicality, serving as a stylish alternative to mainstream rivals like the Ford Puma and Seat Arona. Sharing its underpinnings with the Jeep Renegade, it provides a more spacious option for those outgrowing the tiny Fiat 500 city car. It comfortably seats four adults and features a 350-litre boot, which is adequate for daily use but smaller than many competitors in its class.

A major update in late 2018 significantly improved the 500X with new engines and enhanced technology, making these later models more desirable. While it handles town driving with ease, it’s less suited to long motorway journeys, and the driving experience isn't as sharp as key rivals. Running costs are generally reasonable, but buyers should be aware that it may not hold its value as well as more popular alternatives. Ultimately, the 500X is a compelling choice for those who are won over by its unique design and characterful interior.

Best for: Buyers who love its retro styling, want a characterful interior, and need a more practical car than the standard Fiat 500.

Not ideal for: Drivers who prioritise sharp handling, maximum boot space, or a refined motorway experience, and those concerned about resale value.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 500X if: You're captivated by its unique retro design and stylish cabin, and you're looking for a characterful step up from a smaller city car.

Consider alternatives if: You need class-leading practicality, superior driving dynamics, or a car that excels on long motorway journeys.

Competitive Position: The Fiat 500X carves a niche in the crowded compact SUV market with its standout retro looks. It trades the practicality and dynamic polish of rivals like the Seat Arona for a heavy dose of Italian charm. The post-2018 facelift models are the ones to go for, offering better tech and engines, making it a heart-over-head choice for those who value style above all else.
