近日，菲亚特500X改款车趣图近日曝光。不过，这张图片仅仅展示了车身一小部分，可以看到新的LED大灯和一部分升级后的前脸。最大变化是前大灯结构改变，在主照明系统周边有两个细窄的LED灯环，新的设计更显档次。在它的下面是新的LED日间行驶灯，下面是没有变化的经典雾灯。不过，整个照明系统看起来并非全面更新，而是进行了改款。500X改款车与现行版共享平台，因此新车动力系统选择大部分与现行版相同。想要看到全新500X还要等几年。考虑到菲亚特克莱斯勒在其五年规划中并未提及新一代500X，因此不清楚该车何时能与公众见面。500X改款车的内部机械结构与吉普自由侠共享，后者也是在最近刚刚进行了改款，预计500X的改款还包括动力系统，新的信息娱乐系统和新的1.0升和1.3升汽油引擎。在自由侠上，这两台引擎的功率为89千瓦/120马力和111/134千瓦/150/180马力。预计新车将于9月亮相，今年晚些时候上市。
Fiat 500X Teses Its Subtle Facelift
After visualizing it via render and showing spy photos of it on the move, we now have an even better look at the facelifted Fiat 500X thanks to an official teaser image. The photo only gives us a small glimpse at the Jeep Renegade’s Italian cousin, but in it we see new LED headlights (as anticipated), and some updates to the fascia.
The biggest change is the headlight structure. Characterized by two thin LED strips that surround the main light fixture, it has an upscale new look. Below those LEDs are new LED daytime running lights, and below that the same classic fog lights carry over. The look is a refresh, not a full makeover. The 500X will ride on the same platform is does currently, and should include most of the same powertrain options. We’ll have to wait a few more years to see a brand-new 500X; it's unclear when/if we'll see the crossover in the sheet metal considering it wasn't mentioned in FCA’s five-year business plan.
Sharing its mechanicals with the Jeep Renegade, which was also recently refreshed, we expect the Fiat 500X restyling to include updates under the hood as well. A more modern infotainment system and new 1.0- and 1.3-liter gas engines should carry over. The Jeep produces 120 horsepower (89 kilowatts) and either 150 or 180 hp (111 or 134 kW) depending on the trim.
Unfortunately, we won’t know much about the updated 500X until the official debut. The new compact crossover will be shown in September, and will go on sale later in the year.
