One of the biggest struggles for an auto manufacturer that specializes in building small autos for urban environments is expanding its product lineup. These brands tend to develop vehicles as if they're fashion accessories.
And, like fashion, they come and go like the seasons.
Fiat 500X
So, what was Fiat to do in the U.S. market after its initial 500 launched? It didn't take long to realize that the brand could scale its product portfolio to accommodate American buyers' needs. Soon we were introduced to the 500L that had more space for those with a family. But, what else?
This is where the 500X comes into play.
As a compact crossover, it will be playing in a crowded field of competitors. With the likes of the MINI Cooper Countryman, Toyota RAV4, Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade and Nissan Juke, there's plenty of spunk to go around. But, I wager that few can do it just like the Italians.
To get a better idea of what we're talking about, scope out the very first photos coming to you LIVE from the Los Angeles-based launch of the all-new Fiat 500X.
As of now we cannot provide you with driving impressions, only pictures. Hang in there!
