Fiat has previewed a convertible version of the 500X that it dubs the Yachting edition.
The new model was teased on Instagram by Fiat chief executive Olivier Francois and shows the open-top 500X being driven through some picturesque places in Italy. If you want to enjoy summer sun and have the wind in your face, the 500X Yachting could be the perfect model for the job.
In the video, we can see that the fabric roof of the 500X is very similar to the one of the 500C. However, rather than the roof extending down to where the rear window would normally be, the roof of the 500X Yachting stops retracting when it is in line with the C-pillars. The crossover also features a wind deflector to reduce some of the buffeting when the fabric top is open.

Elsewhere, the video shows that the 500X Yachting has badges on the B-pillars that read ‘Yacht Club Capri’. The interior also comes clad in white leather that’s contrasted by a host of blue accents that mimic the blue exterior paint. In addition, the vehicle features mahogany wood on the dashboard and gear shifter.
Pricing details for the Fiat 500X Yachting haven’t been announced but it can be expected to sell for a small premium over the standard model which starts at €21,000 in Italy. It is expected to be powered by the same turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine as other 500X models, producing 177 hp and 210 lb-ft (285 Nm) of torque.
