The Fiat 500X represents a lot of milestones for Fiat. It's the largest Fiat 500-based model and it's the first compact crossover Fiat has built, which is remarkable considering that the car it's based on isn't exactly known for its spacious design. To commemorate the arrival of the 500X, Fiat's taking a page from Mercedes-Benz's handbook by releasing a limited number of 500X Opening Edition models that will hit a selected number of European markets.
The 500X Opening Edition will actually come in three different versions, giving potential customers the chance to pick which one suits them best. Two front-wheel-drive options come with either a 1.4-liter Turbo MultiAir II engine that produces 140 horsepower or a 1.6-liter MultiJet II that pumps out 120 horsepower. If those don't suit you, you can opt for the all-wheel-drive model with a 2.0-liter MultiJet II that also develops 140 ponies.
It's unlikely that the 500X Opening Edition will find its way to U.S. shores anytime soon, but if you happen to live in Europe, specifically Germany, France, Italy, Spain or Switzerland, you have an opportunity to avail this special-edition 500X. For a first time model, the 500X Opening Edition could turn a lot of heads.
Fiat's price for the 500X Opening Edition models begins at 21,900 ($27,700 as of 10/14/2014) and goes all the way up to 30,650 ($38,800) for the top-of-the-range 4x4 model.
