    Fiat Ups Power and Efficiency on 2019 500X with New Engine

      New 1.3 liter turbo produces 177 hp and best-in-class torque of 210 lb-ft.

    Fiat released details this morning of the 2019 Fiat 500x due to be shown at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show this week.  The primary upgrade is an all-new 1.3 liter turbo-charged 4-cylinder which produces 178 horsepower and a class-leading 210 lb-ft of torque.   This new standard engine comes with engine stop-start (ESS) and Fiat's MultiAir III valve action. All-Wheel drive now comes standard.

    Additional upgrades on the 2019 Fiat 500X include:

    • New front and rear fascia
    • LED Daytime running lights
    • Three new wheel options and three new exterior paint colors (Italia Blue, Vibrante Green, and Milano Ivory)
    • Adaptive cruise control and front park assist available
    • Uconnect 4 with 7-inch touchscreen that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    The 2019 Fiat 500 starts at $25,785 MSRP and will arrive in dealerships in Spring 2019.

    210 lb-ft from a 1.3 liter ?!?

    Give it less than a 100,000 mile life before having to be replaced. 

    I doubt this will give any more life to the Fiat crackerjack box car. This just is not what the bulk of America wants in an auto.

      I like the A7 styling...and the Accord.  The Accord is probably the best looking mainstream midsize sedan currently.    The Fusion was the best looking when it was around, IMO.

      The problem is that all 3 big NYC airports are complicated and expensive to get to.  I don't like Chicago all that much (blame that on experiencing Champaign-Urbana and its connectedness to Chicago), but both O'Hare and Midway are accessible by regular CTA subway car rides from the city.

      I didnt even know this car existed before I posted it.  I was looking for Audi A7s to post when I came across these ones.  And the reason why I was looking to post  A7s is because I find the A7 rear C pilar slope to be similar to the Alfa Romeo Alfetta and this current gen Accord to which I wanted to show case this in the thread.  Google though, showed me pics of that Audi and I fell in love with it that I had to post it.  And I immediately erased my bias that Audi mimicked the rear C pillar from the Alfetta.  These are the pics that introduced me to the Audi 100 coupe S     But the Accord on the other hand...mimics the A7 (RS7 pictured above) quite nicely.

      Don't think I've ever seen one of those 70s Audi fastbacks... I recall seeing the sedan versions as a kid...
