Centurion, 15 February 2023 – Fiat’s popular 500X Centurion range is fresher than ever and ready for any adventure 2023 has to offer. The dynamic range of exciting models focuses on design, comfort, technology, and safety in a package that only the iconic Fiat 500 range can offer.
Fiat re-imagined the iconic 500 concept when launching the 500X Centurion – keeping everything that is cool about the Fiat 500 and combining it with the practical trend towards cross-over vehicles and the adventures they bring. Since launching the 500X Centurion in February 2021, key updates have been added along with the introduction of the Fiat 500X Sport Extended Soft Top (EST) for a limited time. The new Sport EST model offers exceptional grip and optimal handling on the street as well as improved safety and maximum fun.
The dazzling new addition to the 500X Centurion range is defined by its extended soft top allowing iconic open air motoring in the bold cross-over Fiat for the first time. At the touch of a button, the electrically operated folding system offers panoramic fresh air experiences in just 15 seconds, opening virtually the entire roof area of the 500X Sport. The 775mm x 730mm opening can be activated at speeds up to 100kmh and features a one-touch opening, while it closes in two steps for added versatility.
Along with the standard closed roof model, 500X Sport models have stylish design cues to differentiate them from the 500X Cross. Body coloured wheel arch mouldings, side skirts and 19-inch wheels give the 500X Sport a more dynamic stance along with Sport badging and dual chrome exhaust tips. The 500X Sport is equipped with a techno leather and Alcantara steering wheel and a titanium styled finish on the dashboard along with a 3.5” TFT colour cluster. The Sport theme is topped off with the binnacle cover finished in Alcantara.
Free spirited and built for both stylish outdoor and urban adventures, the Fiat 500X Cross Centurion is a bold character ready to take on the toughest challenges. Roof rails and skid plates along with black mirror caps define the adventurer, sitting on 18-inch wheels and all set off by full LED headlamps and LED fog lights.
The Cross Centurion comes standard with a soft touch steering wheel, courtesy light on the sun visor as well as automatic dual zone air conditioning to help you enjoy the drive anytime, anywhere.
Powering your adventures is Fiat’s 1,4-litre direct injection petrol engine, available across the range in a fully automatic six-speed DDCT transmission. With 103kW at 5 000 rpm and 230Nm at 1 750 rpm, the Fiat 500X Centurion will conquer any adventure in consummate style. It’s economical, too, returning just 5,7 l/100km on a combined cycle.
The Fiat 500X Centurion is brimming with technology including Lane Assist that warns of veering off course and corrects the steering back into the lane while the innovative electric parking brake keeps the vehicle safe, anywhere it’s parked.
The Fiat 500X Centurion also boasts a state-of-the-art infotainment system that enhances connectivity with a Uconnect 7” HD touchscreen equipped with navigation and a wide range of functions, including a hands-free system, Bluetooth technology, and voice recognition. The system has a user-friendly interface that enables occupants to manage maps, music, contacts, and more. It is available with Apple CarPlay integration and Android Auto compatibility, providing seamless integration with smartphones.
The Fiat 500X Centurion prioritizes safety and convenience, with a vast array of standard features that make a real difference in your daily adventures. Six airbags are standard, including front airbags for driver and passenger, along with curtain airbags and side bags, providing active crash protection. The distinctive daytime running lights, inspired by the zero in the 500 logo, offer added visibility on the road, along with their cool factor.
ABS and Electronic Stability Control are standard across the range, along with a hill-holder function that makes uphill pull-offs a breeze and reduces traffic stress.
With all these features and more, the new Fiat 500X Centurion is ready to take you on your ultimate adventure.
