Fiat-Based Baby Jeep Spied Testing
One of the next products slated for an American badge on a Fiat platform was just spied testing.
The camouflage covered body looks like a Fiat 500L, but AutoGuide’s sources say that there powertrain and chassis are bound for life as a small Jeep crossover. Both a Jeep and Fiat version of the vehicle will be built un Turin, Italy.

Wearing a Fiat bade, it will be called the 500X, while the Jeep name remains a mystery. Expect the vehicle to take on a boxier shape for the off-road Chrysler sub-brand and a rounder shape akin to the 500 line for Fiat. Both will be front-wheel drive based and the Jeep will offer optional all-wheel drive.
