Check out the adorable new Fiat 500X revealed at the 2014 Paris Auto Show. It’s essentially based on the Jeep Renegade and there’s two versions – one for the city and one for adventuring.
Here are the facts about the newest addition to the Fiat 500 family:
- Range of engines and transmissions introduced in Europe with nine-speed auto (we expect the 2.4-litre 184bhp Tigershark engine for our region)
- Self-selecting automatic four-wheel drive
