Crawley, West Sussex -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2015 -- In Europe, there is an increasing trend for people to buy small cars. They are more economical, easier to park and cheaper to run, so, for modern car buyers, they tick several boxes. One firm that has done well from this trend is Fiat. Sales of their 500 line continue to increase across all European markets, including the UK, so the launch of the Fiat 500X has caused quite a stir.

The new Fiat 500X is the firms answer to the Kia Soul, Nissan Juke and Citroen C4. This stylish and low cost SUV is expected to shake up the small SUV market.

Fiat has already sold close to a quarter of a million 500s, and they expect many of those that own the current model to trade up to the 500X at some point in the next three years. The 500X has a new sportier look and a bigger cabin. Boot space is also generous for a car in this sector. There is 350 litres of space available, which is enough for a pushchair or weekly food shop. For an extra £250, you can add the ability to adjust the boot floor height.

Engine wise there will be plenty of choice. Once the full line has been rolled out, there will be six different engine configurations available. There will also be three transmission options available.

Most vehicle testers have been very impressed by the new Fiat 500. They have been particularly complementary about the cars handling and comfort levels.

The ability to make the steering lighter at the touch of a button is a feature that most felt was important especially when it comes to parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. The simple layout of the interior has also drawn complements.

Small car specialist in Crawley and other areas are gearing up for the increased business this new Fiat will no doubt bring them. The small car market is still a specialist one with relatively few new launches, so when a stylish compact car like the 500X hits the market interest is always high and small car showrooms are always busy.
