The Fiat 500X Cabrio Is Coming To Avenge The Crossover Convertible-December 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. Alfa itself is getting the Tonale, which will slide in under the Stelvio. But the star of the show will be the Fiat 500X Cabrio.

The 500X Cabrio will continue the legacy left behind by beloved icons like the discontinued and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible.

Honestly, I am just a little disappointed Fiat doesn’t do full-on convertibles. If you’re going get rid of the top, get rid of the whole thing! A full soft top 500 or 500X with no giant roof rails to block your rays would be pretty sweet.

Unfortunately, there is no word yet on whether the drop-top 500X will make it to the States. As of writing, FCA hasn’t even revealed the vehicle. I really hope it does because while I would never buy one, I think ideas like these are pretty neat.
