After the small 500, it was the turn of its “older brother”, the 500X, to become a convertible. For the first time the Italian SUV presents itself with an “outdoor” version, but the Fiat 500X Yachting brings much more than just the ability to drive around without a roof.
Inspired by the Italian concept of “Dolce Vita”, the 500X Yachting is accompanied by its “younger brother”, the 500 Yachting. In both cases the decoration was inspired by the nautical world.
In the case of the 500X, we find white seats, a dashboard with mahogany applications and where the “Yachting” logo stands out. On the outside, a blue and ivory-colored decorative frieze and 18” wheels are the big news, in addition, of course, to the retractable roof.

As for the Fiat 500 Yachting, it does not feature mahogany on the dashboard but offers upholstery in ivory with leather appliqués and the 500 logo embroidered in blue, while inside the specific trims and 16” wheels help to increase exclusivity.
Collector's Editions to Get Started
To mark the arrival on the market of the new Fiat 500X Yachting and 500 Yachting, the Italian brand has prepared two collector's editions. Numbered and limited to the first 500 units of both models, these will only be available in five countries: Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland.
There will be several elements that will allow them to distinguish themselves, starting with the emblem with the initials of the country where they were sold and the copy number. Dedicated to the Yacht Club Capri, these collector's editions feature exclusive colors: “Azul Venezia” on the 500X and “Blu Dipinto di Blu” on the 500.
In both cases, the retractable roof is blue and the “Yacht Club Capri” logo appears not only on the side but also on the rear. On the Fiat 500X Yachting, the blue color contrasts with the chrome mirror covers and door handles. Finally, on the 500 Yachting we have chrome applications on the front grille and black mirror covers.
For now, the prices of the Fiat 500 Yachting and 500X Yachting remain to be revealed. However, Fiat has already announced that orders are due to open later this month.
