The Week That Was – Fiat 500X 2016 Lexus Models Renault Clio RS

Fiat will be hoping to spread the success of its 500 micro car across more market segments, with the arrival this week of the retro-inspired 500X SUV.

While the 500X falls into the compact SUV category, it takes the dimensions of the 500 to a new level, packing in five doors and five seats in the process.

The model range incorporates four trim-levels, split evenly between front and all-wheel-drive, all powered by a 1.4 litre four-cylinder turbo engine, but in two different states of tune.

Lexus introduced three 2016 updates for the Australian market this week, kicking off with the new RC 200t variant.

The new RC was joined by an updated LX 570 SUV, and rounding out the trio is a refreshed GS sedan line-up.

Like the RC range, the GS line-up is now headed by a turbocharged entry-level model in the form of the GS 200t.
