As far as the 500X is concerned, MY22 cars for the UK come with revamped 500 logos for the front and new FIAT lettering at the rear. These two design cues are said to make the vehicle look more modern, which in a way it does, to some extent. The 2022 Fiat 500X can be purchased in Club, Cross and Sport trim levels, as well as two body styles: hatchback and Dolcevita (soft top).

Buying into the range means spending £22,085 ($30,000) for the Club variant, which comes with 16-inch alloys, air conditioning, cruise control and a 7-inch touchscreen display at no extra cost. Meanwhile, the Cross spec can be had from £23,585 (hatchback) / £26,235 (Dolcevita) and offers a more rugged exterior, a rear-view parking camera, 17-inch wheels, LED headlights and automatic dual-zone climate control.

As for the flagship Sport trim, it adds an Alcantara steering wheel, puddle lights, body-color bumpers and side skirts, all for £25,085 (hatchback) and £27,735 (Dolcevita). All trim levels feature Fiat’s efficient 1.0-liter Firefly unit, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.

Now, if you’d rather have the updated Tipo hatchback (no other body style is available), know that it too comes with three trim levels: Tipo, City Life and Cross.

The entry-level spec is priced from £19,595 ($26,700) and comes with adaptive cruise control, electric heated door mirrors, a 7-inch touchscreen with DAB and Bluetooth, plus new 16-inch wheels. Moving up to the City Life trim means spending upwards of £20,595 ($28,000), for which you get 17-inch alloys, full LED headlights and taillights, a 7-inch color digital gauge cluster, fog lights, and electric lumbar support for the driver seat.

Finally, the Tipo Cross, which gets more rugged bumpers and roof bars, a rearview parking camera, front and rear parking sensors, auto high beam, integrated sat-nav and body-color door mirrors, all from £22,595 ($30,800).

Both the Fiat 500X and the Tipo are also available in (RED) trim levels, just like the rest of the Fiat range.
