Fiat 500X crossover review - pictures

The 500X is Fiat's first foray into the fiercely competitive and crowded crossover market. 

The 500X will come with a range of petrol and diesel engines coupled with automatic and manual gearboxes. 

The interior features quirky styling, just like the exterior.

The rear seats will accomodate passengers under six-foot tall with ease, but any taller and it will be a bit tight.

The standard boot is 345 litres and will expand to 1000 litres with the seats folded down. 

The 500X feels better built than most cars in the same class, although Fiat have some way to go with their customer service, as our Driver Power customer satisfaction survey reveals.

The 500X has a sportier, lower seating position.

The 2.0-litre Multijet engine comes with a four-wheel drive system and a nine-speed automatic gearbox, but we would steer clear of this model and opt for an alternative in the range. 

The interior is fairly well laid out. 

A lot of switchgear has been lifted out of the 500 city car. 

Climate controls are situated awkwardly low inside the cabin.

There's plenty of space inside the cabin for young families.
