Fiat to bring 500X Dolcevita convertible to UK

Fiat is introducing a convertible version of its 500X crossover, bringing open-top motoring to the UK market.

The Fiat 500X Dolcevita is available across all trim levels and priced from £23,975

Open for orders now, it’s available across all trim levels and priced from £23,975.

The canvas soft top opens at the touch of a button in 15 seconds and at speeds up to 62mph. It’s available in black, grey and red, to match the ten body colours available. Boot space remains the same as the hard top 500X.

Engine line-up consists of two petrol powertrains – 120hp 1.0-litre and 150hp 1.3-litre Firefly models – with CO2 emissions from 142g/km to 156g/km.

The arrival of the new Dolcevita convertible follows Fiat’s refresh earlier this year of the 500 family, including the 500X, with an updated range structure covering three grades.

The Connect trim level comes as standard with the 7-inch Uconnect infotainment system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Features include black seats, techno-leather steering wheel and 17-inch alloy wheels. The specs also feature blacked-out windows, fog lights and LED DRLs.

In Cross trim level, the 500X debuts new seats with a camouflage-patterned centre panel, vinyl inserts, 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning and parking sensors as standard.

The top-spec Sport trim level gets burnished black 19-inch alloy wheels, side skirts, rear spoiler, new black fabric sports seats with red piping and 500 logo, automatic air conditioning, new matte titanium dashboard and 3.5-inch colour TFT.

First deliveries of the Fiat 500X Dolcevita are expected later this year.
