2016 FIAT 500X Trekking

The 500X is Fiat's small crossover, a roomier, more practical take on the 500 that still carries that same playful Italian style. On the road it feels light and eager, with a ride that's a bit firm but keeps body roll in check on twisty roads. Inside, the cabin is a cheerful mix of color and texture, with a tall seating position and decent space for four adults. The available Uconnect infotainment is easy to use, and most trims come with a rearview camera and Bluetooth. The Trekking adds fog lamps, keyless entry, and a leather-wrapped shift knob over the Easy, giving it a slightly more rugged look without going overboard. Its 2.4L I4 makes 180 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic, which can feel hesitant at low speeds but smooths out once you're moving. The standard Dynamic Selector lets you toggle between driving modes, sharpening throttle response in Sport or softening it for slippery conditions.
