The Driving Dynamic Selector allows driver to chose between three different settings:

  • 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 CO2 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.

Fiat 500X 2.4L TigerShark Engine

The 1.4L MultiAir Turbo engine used in various Fiats like the 500 Abarth and 500L MPV is available only on Pop models and only with two-wheel drive. All other 500X models come with the 2.4L TigerShark engine with MultiAir 2. MultiAir technology lowers tailpipe emissions, increases fuel economy all while boosting performance, especially at part throttle settings. The second generation MultiAir 2 system has additional refinements that further lower exhaust emissions while improving the fun to drive factor.

The highlight of the updated MultiAir 2 is the improvement of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system (EGR). An EGR system sends exhaust gas into the combustion chamber at certain periods of time to lower emissions. However, it can have an adverse effect on driveability because exhaust gas does not burn and reduces peak pressures inside the combustion chamber.*

Unlike other cars with conventional EGR systems, MultiAir 2 can more precisely regulate the amount of EGR in the cylinder because it can decouple and open the intake valves independently from the cam lobe allowing the engine to have internal EGR. Valve opening has been optimized to precisely meter the amount of exhaust gas recirculated in the combustion chamber through valve overlap. The results help the 2.4L TigerShark engine achieve a lively, fun to drive character.
