Beefed-up new Fiat 500X will provide shot in the arm

In Ireland the 500 has been its’ sole real performer and last year they welcomed the arrival of the 500L and 500L MPV models to the line-up, but this month they will get their biggest shot in the arm in a considerable time with the arrival of the 500X compact SUV.
Although both the L and the L-MPV were undoubtedly practical and family oriented, they were definitely on the ugly side too and perhaps not to the taste of many buyers. By comparison, the stylish and elegant — not to mention practical — 500X, which comes here with a sub-€20k price tag for the entry level model, will certainly be a draw for the buying public.
