How to spot one

Look for

  • Large round headlights, shaped more aggressively than on the 500 or 500L.1
  • Bright nose trim and a clamshell hood.1
  • A 5-door crossover body, much larger than the Fiat 500 city car.36
  • Launch UK Cross models add roof rails, unique bumpers and satin-silver detailing.1
  • 2022 Hybrid models have black cladding around the wheel arches and along the lower doors.10

Year by year

  1. August 2018 (UK)

    Fresh headlights mark the facelift; Urban, City Cross and Cross Plus replace the earlier trim ladder.2

  2. 2019 (U.S.)

    Bumpers reshaped at both ends; Pop gains LED daytime running lights and taillights alongside projector headlights.7

  3. 2022 (Hybrid)

    New 500 nose emblem and larger FIAT rear lettering; dark gray lower-bumper trim replaces the aluminum-effect finish.10

Don’t confuse it with

  • Fiat 500 (2007)

    The 500 is a 3-door hatchback or 2-door cabriolet; the much larger 500X has a 5-door SUV body.3619

  • Porsche Macan

    Similar in profile; the 500X's large circular headlights and bright nose trim are the Fiat cues.14
