Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hoping that its second attempt to add a vehicle to its Fiat brand in the U.S. will be more successful than its first.
Today, the 2016 Fiat 500X, a smart-looking subcompact crossover, will make its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The 500X is the first Fiat model that was designed with the U.S. market in mind. It will have more space and utility than the standard Fiat 500 coupe while still reflecting the traditional Fiat design.
Design elements like double headlamps, the trapezoidal front and the rounded clamshell hood make the crossover immediately recognizable as a Fiat.
Both the 500X and the subcompact Jeep Renegade that will arrive in the U.S. next year, were designed to appeal to Americans and other global markets.
