Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Though not perfect, the 2021 Fiat 500X is a characterful, stylish choice that is often discounted.

Pros
Italian fashion
Composed ride
Standard AWD
Good tech

Cons
Can get expensive with options
Active safety tech costs extra
Rivals are roomier
Gearbox can fumble

The 500X undergoes few changes for 2021. The base Pop trim and the midrange Trekking both receive updated seat upholstery and dashboard trim while the Sport model can now be ordered with the Sport Value package. The optional package adds a panoramic sunroof, 19-inch wheels, a Beats stereo system, LED headlamps, front and rear parking sensors, in-dash navigation, and heated front seats.

Pros
Cute appearance,
gutsy powertrain,
plentiful amenities.

Cons
Puny cargo space,
tight rear seat legroom,
high starting price.
