Fiat UK has announced model year 2022 updates to its ever-popular 500X and Tipo line-ups. With updated standard specifications across each range, both are available to order from Fiat retailers now.

The 500X MY22 exterior has been revamped, gaining the 500 logo to the front and the new FIAT lettering to the rear. These two design cues add modernity to the 500X make the 500X even more contemporary with a nod to the look and feel of the New 500.

The 500X MY22 is available in the Club, Cross and Sport trim levels, and in two body variants: Hatchback and the newly-announced Dolcevita soft top.

Club receives 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control and seven-inch touchscreen, and is priced from £22,085 OTR. Cross provides buyers with a more rugged exterior and includes rear-view parking camera, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and automatic dual-zone climate control, priced from £23,585 OTR for the hatchback and £26,235 OTR for the Dolcevita. Top-of-the-range Sport trim has alcantara steering wheel, puddle lights, body-coloured bumpers and side skirts, and colour TFT screen, and is priced at £25,085 OTR for the hatchback and £27,735 OTR for the Dolcevita. All trim levels come with the efficient Firefly 1.0-litre unit with six-speed manual transmission.

The new Tipo MY22 line-up consists of three trim levels - Tipo, City Life and Cross - available as hatchback only.

Tipo receives adaptive cruise control, electric heated door mirrors, seven-inch touchscreen with DAB, bluetooth and new 16-inch wheels and is priced from £19,595 OTR. City Life trim includes 17-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlights and rear lights, 7-inch full colour digital cluster, fog lights, and driver seat electric lumbar support and is priced from £20,595 OTR. The Tipo Cross featuring a different exterior look with more rugged bumpers and roof bars receives, over and above City Life, a rearview parking camera, front and rear parking sensors, auto high beam, integrated Sat Nav and body-coloured door mirrors and is priced from £22,595 OTR.

Looks like they’re taking cues from the 500 EV. An odd choice for an ICE vehicle, as the EVs won’t be differentiated as much. I can’t see other manufacturers doing that (yet?)

Could it mean a possible EV drivetrain option on the way? They could share the bumper moulding and swap the black radiator grills for a more EV style solid silver trim.

My wife thinks it looks even more like a smiley face now .

Sometimes they try to give all the cars a common "family" look.. which doesn't always end well when the car was originally designed with a different family look.

Not sure I like the "EV" look on what is an ICE car.. but in itself it's not too bad. I'm not really a fan of the huge "FIAT" on the bootlid (also on the Tipo facelift etc.). It looks nice and shiny at the moment... but it won't take the bean counters long to make it cheaper.. and just paint it matt silver or something, rather than chrome it..
