The Fiat 500X Cabrio Is Coming To Avenge The Crossover Convertible-April 2024

Regular 500X Shown

Do you lie awake at night wishing there were more convertible crossovers? Do you yearn to sit up high with ? Well, Fiat may have just the solution as the automaker intends on releasing a convertible version of the 500X Crossover.

As reported by , Fiat Chrysler is adding three SUVs to its European portfolio. The first two sound cool enough. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio-based Maserati Grecale will accompany the larger Levante.
