2022 Fiat 500X Dolcevita soft top

A new open-roof version of Fiat’s 500X has been launched. Called the 500X Dolcevita, it aims to provide a rare combination of open air driving plus SUV practicality. The canvas soft top opens electronically in 15 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 62mph. Fiat promises “good visibility and an open-air experience, even for passengers in the back”, while load capacity is unchanged. The canvas roof is available in either black, grey or red.

The 500X Dolcevita is on sale now across all four trim levels (Cult, Connect, Cross and Sport). There’s a choice of two engines – 120hp 1.0-litre or 150hp 1.3- litre. Prices range between £23,415 and £29,215 in the UK, and the first deliveries are expected later this year.
