Are you in search of your next FIAT? Maybe you’re new to the brand? Do you think that driving something incredibly stylish means you have to sacrifice safety? If you answered yes to any of those questions, allow us to blow your minds and introduce you to the 2016 FIAT 500X.

Packing all the style and performance you’ve come to expect from the feisty Italian brand, the Fiat 500X is a supremely safe small crossover. It’s so safe that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently awarded the 500X the 2015 Top Safety Pick+, its highest rating.

The Top Safety Pick+ is one of the most prestigious safety awards given to a vehicle. The testing process simulates a number of important safety tests, including a side impact with a large SUV or pickup truck, a moderate-offset frontal impact, a small-offset frontal impact, roof-crush consistent with a rollover, and a rear collision capable of inducing whiplash.

In all tests administered by the IIHS, the 2016 FIAT 500X passed with flying colors, earning the highest possible score of “good.”

But the safety smorgasbord doesn’t stop there. The 2016 500X bolstered its score thanks to the availability of Forward Collision Warning-Plus. In fact, only vehicles equipped with driver-assist technology such as this qualify for Top Safety Pick+ designation.

The 2016 FIAT 500X also sports seven standard airbags for added safety and peace of mind. Of course there is no need to stop there.  Drivers looking for an even greater level of safety can select from a number of available advanced driver assist technologies, including LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus, and Hill-Start Assist.
