Retro, Chunky, Stylish & Compact – The Fiat 500X
At Priory, we’re a huge fan of cars with character when it comes to choosing additions to our fleet of cars for hire and few cars manage to equal the charm and capability of the Fiat 500X, which we’ve selected as our car of the month for July. The compact crossover sector has been hugely successful in recent years. A category which combines the efficiency of small cars with the look and feel of larger SUV’s. The Fiat 500X is the Italian marques very own addition to this niche.
The original Fiat 500 was a small City Car from the late 50’s to the mid 70’s and enjoyed tremendous success at the time. A success which was mirrored when the model was reimagined and re-released decades later, with all the charm, practicality and frugality of the original, along with a design which delightfully captured the retro look of the classic Fiat 500.
The Fiat 500X – Classic Design Made Chunky
Fiat have taken the classic design cues from their updated 500, beefed them up and added underpinnings from the Jeep Renegade in order to create a serious contender for the compact crossover crown. Still classed as a medium sized rental car and therefore still easy to drive and park, as well as being very frugal when it comes to fuel consumption. With a road presence more akin to larger vehicles, the Fiat 5ooX is a very easy car to live with. it commands respect without being intimidating, it’s charming good looks never fail to be noticed and it’s extra height make it a breeze to find in the car park.
Inside the Fiat 500X
The charming design of the exterior is more than just skin deep. The Fiat 500X cabin is just as retro. The classic and classy interior enjoys colour coded highlights and accents, impressive build quality and a generous selection of creature comforts as you’d expect from a deceptively modern car.
As with most cars in the compact crossover sector, the Fiat 500X has a slightly elevated driving position, which gives a terrific view of the road ahead and with so many ways to adjust the driving position, you’re sure to be able to find a combination of settings to make yourself comfortable as you enjoy the view.
