FIAT announced today that the new 2020 Fiat 500X Sport model

The new 500X Sport builds on its classic Italian design with a
youthful, sporty appearance that offers even more customized
features on top of an advanced, fuel-efficient turbocharged
engine.
"Our Italian-designed, fun-to-drive Fiat 500X is the only
vehicle in its class to feature standard all-wheel drive and
achieve 30 miles per gallon," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger
Car Brands – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT – North America. "With standard turbo power, the
Fiat 500X Sport is a fresh, new alternative in one of the fastest
growing segments in the industry."
Exterior
Highlighted with the introduction of an all-new exterior paint
color "Rovente Red," the Fiat 500X Sport offers a host of new
stylish exterior features, including new front and rear fascia
designs and body-color painted side-moldings along with a "Sport"
badge displayed on the front fender. Available LED lighting systems
provide enhanced visibility in all driving conditions. Full LED
headlights are coupled with LED fog lamps, creating a signature,
sporty look. Dark-finish exterior accents on mirror caps, door
handles and the rear license plate brow further define its
appearance. New 18-inch aluminum wheels come standard and, for the
first time on any 500X model, an all-new 19-inch premium aluminum
wheel with Michelin CrossClimate all-season tires is available.
Chrome dual-exhaust tips complete its unmistakable road
presence.
The Fiat 500X offers the most exterior paint colors in its
class. In addition to the exclusive all-new "Rovente Red" color,
other paint options for the 500X Sport include White, Black,
Moda Grey and Italia Blue. A new
black roof option may also be combined for an attractive, custom
exterior.
Interior
The same sporty and adventurous style displayed on the exterior is
also found in the interior. This is highlighted with a
dark-finished headliner and pillars along with new interior door
and console bezel surface finishes. A new techno-leather steering
wheel features handcrafted red stitching and Alcantara inserts with
paddle shifters that provide optimal gear selection, resulting in a
spirited driving experience.
Furthermore, a new Alcantara-covered cluster brow and new
cluster graphics and instrument-panel bezel finish create a

fabric and vinyl inserts that feature a stitched grey "500"
logo.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, the 2020 Fiat 500X Sport features an

and an impressive 210 lb.-ft. of torque. Also standard are a
nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive
