Mopar launches a Fiat 500X accessory range

Manufacturers know that personalisation options can help to shift a few extra units, especially if the model in question is seen as quirky or trendy.

Doubtless Fiat will be hoping such a strategy is going to work for its 500X, because Mopar has just introduced an accessory range for the small crossover.

The selection comprises over 100 items. All can be bought separately, or alternatively eight better-value Xtra Packs have been created.

For example the beige, bronze, red and white Colour Xtra Packs comprise matching door mirror caps, body stripes and door moulding inserts. They cost £305, which is a £100 saving compared to ordering the parts individually. Black and Chrome Xtra Packs are available too.

Roof bars and a moulded cargo area tray are the key features of the Summer and Winter Xtra Packs. The former adds a bike carrier, while the latter comes with adaptors to accommodate snowboards or skis.

Among the other components being offered are 18” wheels in various designs (from £816 per set of four), a 360-litre roof box (£259), a detachable tow bar (£360) and a tow bar-mounted two-bike carrier (£613).

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
