Fiat has revealed the Blue Sky Edition package for the 2018 500X Models. Based on the ‘Pop’ trim, the aforementioned package adds features inside-out.
On the exterior, the Blue Sky Edition gets automatic headlamps, fog lamps, and 17-inch aluminium wheels — on front-wheel-drive models. In addition, the premium touches include satin chrome accents on the mirror caps, door handles, side moldings, fog-lamp and taillamp bezels, front and rear badges, and liftgate handle as well.
There are 4 exterior paint jobs to choose from — Bianco Gelato (White Clear Coat), Blue Sky Metallic, Nero Cinema (Black Clear Coat) and Grigio Graphite (Graphite Grey).
The Blue Sky Edition’s interior features a blue-toned environment with unique blue-patterned cloth seats, a blue instrument panel, and a dual-pane powered sunroof.
Other features include a standard Uconnect 4 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, voice command, and SiriusXM Radio. The optional BeatsAudio premium sound system includes 8 speakers and a subwoofer.
The 2018 Fiat 500X lineup starts at $19,995 (FWD) in the U.S., and is available in three trims — Pop, Trekking and Lounge. The Blue Sky Edition package costs an extra $1,495 on FWD models and $1,195 on all-wheel-drive models. The AWD variant is priced at $23,890.
The Fiat 500X Blue Sky Edition will be arriving in FIAT studios this spring.
