Yahoo Autos Fiat preparing to say 'ciao' to the 500X in the United States
Fiat's 500X crossover will enter the pantheon of automotive history without a successor. Ending years of rumors and speculation, the company confirmed that the soft-roader will not be replaced in the United States once production of the current-generation model ends.
As we reported from the L.A. Auto Show, the 500X will be discontinued after it reaches the end of its life cycle. "When it dies, it dies. We will not replace it," Fiat boss Olivier François confirmed to Motor Trend.
With the Mazda MX-5 Miata-based 124 Spider and the 500L people-mover out of the picture, the 500X is the last Fiat standing in the United States. Its demise hardly comes as a surprise: Fiat sold merely 1,181 units in 2021, an 18% drop compared to 2020.
