Fiat has updated its 500X crossover for 2019

Jeep unveiled a revised Renegade a few months ago, so similar changes to the closely-related Fiat 500X were expected.

The upgrades focus on a new engine line-up. Significantly, it does not feature a diesel option:
  • 109 bhp (81 kW / 110 PS), 1.6 litre, four-cylinder, petrol
  • 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS), 1.0 litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged, petrol
  • 147 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS), 1.3 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged, petrol
While the 500X hasn’t really received a proper styling facelift, the lights and bumpers are different. Furthermore, the interior gains a nicer multi-function steering wheel, clearer instruments and a 3.5” TFT display.

Equipment fitted to the entry-level Urban trim grade includes 16” alloy wheels, manual air conditioning and a Uconnect infotainment system that’s operated via a 7” touchscreen. Cruise control, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist and Lane Assist all come as standard, too.

Moving up, the City Cross adds protective skid plates, front fog lights, 17” wheels, rear parking sensors and dual-zone climate control.

The Cross Plus is the range-topper. This variant boasts LED headlights with a dusk sensor, 18” wheels, roof bars, rear privacy glass, a rear parking camera and TomTom satellite navigation.

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 ...
