Fiat 500X Chicane

Fiat is unlikely to admit this, but you can tell by the amount of promotion it puts on the 500X crossover, that the company expects big things out of the model. I personally don’t blame Fiat for taking this approach, especially when it’s involved in a market that’s as competitive as it’s ever been. If the 500X is to distinguish itself against a market that includes its cousin, the Jeep Renegade, Fiat needs to pull out all the stops to give it an edge. That’s exactly what the company did when it unveiled the 500X Chicane at the SEMA Auto Show.

For all intents and purposes, the Chicane is a “Moparized” version of the 500X that lacks the concept vibe of its fellow SEMA attendee, the 500X Mobe. The former is actually fit to be in dealerships right now since its main focus is to showcase Mopar’s specialized parts and accessories for the new crossover.

Unlike most concepts shown in SEMA, there’s a good chance that we’ll see a similar aftermarket package from Mopar in dealerships soon.It’s not necessarily going to be identical to Chrysler’s aftermarket parts and accessories division used on the 500X, but it should be along the same lines.
