  • the T.50 supercar. Conceived

FIAT 500X BREAKS RECORD


PRODUCING 500,000TH UNIT


Fiat is celebrating a major
milestone with the production
of the 500,000th unit
of its popular Fiat 500X
model at the Melfi plant in
southern Italy. The landmark
achievement is yet another
chapter of success in the
story of this model, which has
led its segment in Italy and
been a permanent fixture in
the European top ten since
its launch in 2014. With
half a million units of Fiat’s
famous crossover rolling off
the production line in just


five years, it was befitting
that the car that completed
this record achievement was
a 500X 120TH edition, a
special series model launched
earlier this year at the Geneva
International Motor Show to
celebrate the Fiat brand’s
120th anniversary. The edition
features a two-tone (black
and white) Tuxedo livery,
available on the 500X for
the first time, equipped with
a 150HP 1.3 FireFly Turbo
engine and DCT dual clutch
automatic transmission.
