FIAT 500X and Pharrell are teaming up again

Pharrell assisted FIAT with their FIAT 500L launch with his “Happy” song, seemingly successfully a year back. Now with the FIAT 500X, the Turin carmaker has again enrolled the mega artist to boost traffic and sale. This time with his new top-chart hit “Own Your Freedom“.

5-Star Crashtest Ratings for the FIAT 500X

We could see in my video test drive review around Tacoma, WA that the FIAT 500X is a fantastic car, crossover or Mini – Mini SUV equipped with all-wheel drive and other amenities like rear-view camera and highest awards from the Insurance Highway Institute for Safety (IIHS) in the 500X crashtest ratings.

FIAT 500X is Top-Seller for FIAT of Tacoma, WA

Knowing first hand how this small crossover FIAT is handling and performing, we saw at the #1 FIAT Studio of the Pacific Northwest an incredible increase of interest and sales for the FIAT 500X. Especially MINI Countryman buyers or such customers who were considering the MINI Cooper looking now twice and comparing the advantages and features of a 500X  vs the Countryman.

FIAT 500X vs. MINI Countryman

Here are some points, which should make clear why the FIAT crossover is a better choice than the Countryman.

Engine power for the base models show that the 500X has 160 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque, when the Countryman comes in with just 121 hp and 118 lbs.-ft. of torque. Considering the environment of the Pacific Northwest, you just want to have more horsepower and torque with the hills and mountains we have here around. Now let’s look at the price.

The MINI Countryman costs $22,750. A whopping $2,750 more than a comparable 500X.

Wow!

The money you save here alone is gasoline for almost a year depending on your driving habits. Also, normally people living in Tacoma and Seattle most likely having an active lifestyle, like snowboarding, hiking, bicycling – so it would make sense when considering a crossover car cargo space is important. Here too, the FIAT 500X is the winner. With a cargo space of 18.5 cubic feet the Italian defeats his British counterpart by 2 cubic feet. Hey that is an entire carry-on suitcase!!
