Fiat 500X

Score: 7.6 / 10
“Purely on specification and quality, the latest Fiat 500X cannot overcome major rivals. But it beats them hands down for style, both inside and out.”

“The 500X’s dynamics and handling are surprisingly sharp, while the latest petrol engines boost efficiency and performance. We’d go so far as to say the high-speed refinement is exemplary for a car in this class.”

“Fiat’s offering deserves to sell on its character alone – it’s a feelgood car, which is likeable rather than engaging on the road, and still attracts looks from passers-by three years on from its launch. There’s also plenty of kit and it’s certainly far more useable as a small family car than the 500.”

“Put it up against other style-led crossovers such as the Mini Countryman, Renault Captur, Citroën C3 Aircross and Peugeot 2008 and it makes a lot of sense. Nothing about the 500X’s looks is at the expense of its performance. It drives well, it’s usefully roomy, it looks after you and feels like it will put up with a good amount of abuse from kids and pets.”

“In our view, the 500X is one of the best Fiats to emerge in recent years. It’s easy to drive, fun and will return the same economy as a typical family hatchback. It has more than enough rival the likes of the Nissan Juke and Renault Captur, although those wanting all-wheel drive might be put off by the considerable hike in price.”

“If you really want to say at parties you drive a 500, there’s a better plan. Buy a Skoda Yeti, then simply remove the badge and screw a Fiat logo to the boot instead.” (Jeremy Clarkson)

“This isn’t the most polished of these diminutive SUVs; if space, practicality and safety are priorities, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere. But these new engines have given the 500X a much-needed lift, and its big personality will be enough to convince many buyers.”

“Not the most utilitarian choice, but this is exactly what buyers want from a Fiat crossover.”

“Keep it cheap and the 500X is a decent choice; it’s stylish, fairly practical and quite classy inside. That said, a SEAT Arona or Kia Stonic offer a better driving experience and a more complete all-round package.”
