The 2021 Fiat 500X is among the hottest subcompact crossovers on the market. Driver's love its superb styling and sporty performance. An upscale interior with modern features makes this SUV even more appealing. Let's take a look at how the 500X Trekking compares to the 500X Trekking Plus.

Performance

Both of these trims are equipped with the same powertrain. Motivation comes from a 1.3L MultiAir Turbo engine. It's rated to crank out 177 horsepower and a best-in-class 210 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission helps ensure optimum performance. Meanwhile, engine stop/start technology allows you to save more fuel in the city. Unlike most of its competitors, the new 500X comes standard with all-wheel drive. You'll also appreciate the crossover's Dynamic Selector Traction Control System, which allows you to choose the perfect driving mode. While the Sport mode elevates performance, activating the Traction+ mode gives drivers greater confidence during slippery conditions.

Appearance

Whether you choose the 500X Trekking or the 500X Trekking Plus, look forward to traveling in style. This crossover's sleek and seductive exterior design will cause people to take notice. A rugged front fascia also gives the SUV a sense of adventure. Some of the stunning paint color options include Italia Blue, Amore Red Metallic, and Vibrante Green Metallic. While the 500X Trekking is a genuine head-turner, a few upgrades are found on the 500X Trekking Plus. Not only does the Trekking Plus trim receive signature LED headlights and fog lights, but it also features unique 17-inch alloy wheels.

Features

The 500X Trekking Plus is loaded with great features. You'll enjoy using the voice-activated Uconnect 4 infotainment system. It features a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. Other standard equipment includes remote start, a six-speaker stereo with satellite radio, and USB ports.
