Jeep unveiled a revised Renegade a few months ago, so similar changes to the closely-related Fiat 500X were expected.
The upgrades focus on a new engine line-up. Significantly, it does not feature a diesel option:
- 109 bhp (81 kW / 110 PS), 1.6 litre, four-cylinder, petrol
- 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS), 1.0 litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged, petrol
- 147 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS), 1.3 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged, petrol
Equipment fitted to the entry-level Urban trim grade includes 16” alloy wheels, manual air conditioning and a Uconnect infotainment system that’s operated via a 7” touchscreen. Cruise control, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist and Lane Assist all come as standard, too.
Moving up, the City Cross adds protective skid plates, front fog lights, 17” wheels, rear parking sensors and dual-zone climate control.
The Cross Plus is the range-topper. This variant boasts LED headlights with a dusk sensor, 18” wheels, roof bars, rear privacy glass, a rear parking camera and TomTom satellite navigation.
