2022 Fiat 500X Review

- Distinctive Italian styling
- Standard all-wheel drive
- Well-made interior space
- Limited cargo and passenger space
- Small touchscreen can be tough to use
- High starting price
- Several available driving aids, but few work well
- Trekking Plus trim level replaced with Trekking Value Plus package
- Small changes in available features
- Part of the first Fiat 500X generation introduced for 2016
The 2022 Fiat 500X is the only car Fiat still sells in the United States, but the decision to keep it around does make some sense. Sales in the U.S. have swung overwhelmingly in favor of SUVs in the last 10 years, and Fiat is keeping one foot in the American market with this stylish extra-small SUV. It also comes standard with a distinctively styled interior and all-wheel drive.
Unfortunately, the 500X feels underpowered compared to the rest of the competition, and there's a noticeable lack of storage space for a car that claims to be an SUV. Other subcompact SUVs, such as the Honda HR-V and Hyundai Venue, offer more standard features on equivalent trim levels, and the Kia Seltos offers more interior space and more cargo room. Is the 500X's unique style enough to make it worth considering over the competition? Check out our Expert Rating below before making your decision.
Performance
While Fiat touts the 500X as sporty, we found the 500X's handling to be only average for the class. It leans quite a bit when going around turns, and tire grip is mediocre. If you want a fun-to-drive SUV, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Comfort
The climate control system is easy to use, but it can struggle to keep you cool on hotter days. And although the 500X's cabin is decently isolated against outside noise, the car's various technology features make so many interior beeps, bongs, clicks and warning alarms that they destroy any serenity in the cabin.

Interior
The 500X's main controls are easy to figure out. The configurable infotainment system is a bit slow to respond but fairly straightforward to use. Our only frustration was having to deep-dive into the touchscreen menus every time we wanted to shut off some of the annoyingly oversensitive driver aids.
Technology
The good news: The 500X provides three USB ports (more than competitors) to split among your charge-hungry passengers. There's also standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. There's a wealth of advanced driving aids, some of which are overly sensitive. And the warning sounds for some incidents are often more startling than beneficial.
Storage
On the child safety seat front, installing a rear-facing seat will be a tight squeeze behind the front seats. There's just not a whole lot of room. The car seat anchors are easy to locate at least.

FIAT 500X models
For 2022, the 500X comes in three trim levels: Pop, Trekking and Sport. A turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque is the only engine available across the lineup. It's connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission that sends power to a standard all-wheel-drive system. Feature highlights include:

- Keyless entry
- Remote start
- Cloth upholstery
- Height-adjustable front seats
- 7-inch touchscreen display
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility
- USB inputs (two front, one rear)

Fiat 500X vs. the competition

2022 Fiat 500X

2022 Jeep Renegade
Fiat 500X vs. Jeep Renegade
Both the 500X and the Renegade pack plenty of personality into their small footprints. The Fiat struts with a bit more Italian street flair, while the Jeep's charms are more rugged and off-road-capable (surprisingly so in the Trailhawk trim level). Both models are actually mechanically related, but the Jeep offers a bit more value and better performance off the paved road.
Fiat 500X vs. Mini Countryman
The 500X and the Countryman share similar profiles, and both have throwback styling that might have you thinking about the Minis and Fiats of yore. However, the Mini is simply a higher-grade car. It features nicer interior trimmings, way more trims to pick from, and more potent engines. It's more spacious inside and more fun to drive too. The Countryman is priced accordingly, however, with a sticker significantly higher than the Fiat.
Fiat 500X vs. Subaru Crosstrek
What the Crosstrek lacks in visual punch compared to the 500X it makes up for with more rugged capability when the going gets rocky, sandy or muddy. While the 500X Trekking trim stands high enough off the ground to offer basic off-road performance, the Crosstrek still provides better ground clearance. The Subaru also offers more interior and cargo space, gets better fuel economy, and is available as a hybrid.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 FIAT 500X?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
