Rumors of creating a special crossover version of Fiat 500 are confirmed. The car will be named 500X and will start production next year.

The big plans of the Fiat group for the 500 it seems that they are gradually being implemented. After the 5-door 500L that was officially presented a few days ago at the Geneva Motor Show, the mini model of the Italian brand is preparing to acquire a crossover "brother".

This will be done in the coming months with a model called the 500X based on the platform of the 5-door 500L. According to information, its production will begin within 2013 and it is estimated that it might replace the Sedici in the Fiat range. Its total length is estimated to be close to 4,2 meters, while with the "background" of Fiat's collaboration with the Chrysler group, it is not excluded that this new model will also use technology from Jeep's off-road cars.
