Since photos of the revised ’19 Jeep Renegade have surfaced, it’s only natural that its Italian cousin, the Fiat 500X, will also get a few new features for the new year.
It’s hard to tell much from these photos, but expect new bumpers and lamp units front and rear. And maybe a new eight-speed automatic will replace the troublesome nine-speed, and the new 2.0L Turbo will appear as an option.
