The 500, 500L and 124 Spider are all gone, so the 500X crossover is now Fiat’s only model in Canada. Few changes have been made in the past years, which likely means a retirement is coming soon—and with it the end of the Fiat brand on this side of the Atlantic. The 500X rides on the same platform as the Jeep Renegade and is motivated by a turbocharged 1.3-litre engine producing 177 horsepower.
Pros
