The Fiat 500X will begin arriving at Fiat Studios very shortly, possibly even this week. While we are waiting, here is a look at some of the key attributes the sophisticated Italian crossover brings to the market.
Advanced Drive Systems
•Dynamic Selector™ traction control system with 3 customized modes for optimal driving performance – Auto, Sport, Traction+
- Auto: The basic mode calibrated for everyday driving and designed to ensure optimal fuel efficiency, low emissions and driving comfort. This is achieved with a smoother engine calibration, higher servo assistance on steering and a shift point optimized for low carbon dioxide emissions.
- Sport: The engine calibration converts for a sportier feel and is tuned for a faster driving response through electronic stability control and steering calibrations. With all-wheel drive, this mode optimizes the transmission for lateral dynamics.
- Traction +: A specifically calibrated mode maximizes low-speed traction with low friction and off-road surfaces by providing additional wheel slip through specially tuned chassis controls and a more direct engine response.
•9-speed automatic transmission
•Rear-axle disconnect resulting in reduced parasitic loss when AWD capability isn’t needed, improving fuel efficiency.
•160 HP-1.4L Turbo MultiAir I mated to a 6-speed manual transmission (FWD)
•180 HP-2.4L “Tigershark” MultiAir 2 mated to a 9-speed automatic (FWD and AWD)

===== Feature Descriptions =======
Blind-spot Monitoring (BSM):

The system notifies the driver of vehicle(s) in their blind spot via illuminated icons on the side-view mirror. Turn signal activated engages illuminated icon and three audio chimes.
Forward Collision Warning-Plus:
Utilizes radar and video sensors to detect whether the 500X is approaching another vehicle or large obstacle in its path too rapidly, and warns or assists the driver in avoiding/mitigating the incident.
LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus:
Leverages electronic power steering (EPS) to deliver a torque input to alert and assist the driver with corrective action.
ParkSense rear park assist system:
The system utilizes ultrasonic sensors at low speeds in reverse to detect stationary objects.

I would love to buy a fiat 500x but the mileage is less than the fiesta. If the diesel was available in the US I would go over today and pick one up...67.5 mpg! Now we are talking> I had a 500 in Italy and the MMPG were higher years go.
