Seating and Interior Space
The 500X is a four-door crossover SUV seating five occupants in reasonable comfort. With both the front and rear cabin seats, cushioning is thick and the seat bottom longer than usual, improving comfort for taller occupants. Head and legroom in the front cabin are accommodating of six-foot-tall drivers and passengers, while legroom in the rear cabin becomes a tad confined but still usable by adults under six-feet tall. The versatile seating adjustments in all trims position the driver ergonomically behind the steering wheel, pedals, and other controls, with ample all-around visibility. The tall proportions also afford a commanding view of the road, while the step up into the cabin makes ingress and egress easy.

2018 500X Trunk and Cargo Space
A moderate assortment of in-cabin storage compartments is present throughout, including spacious door pockets with bottle holders up front and in the rear, two cupholders between the front seats along with a compact storage cubby below the armrest. The dashboard has a dual-split glove box setup with a small upper compartment and more spacious lower compartment, and finally, there is a tiny storage cell in the front-center of the front cabin.
The trunk holds a decent cargo space of around 14.1 cubic feet, about enough room for light luggage for a family of four on a summer weekend getaway. With the 60/40 split-folding rear seats folded down that space increases to around 50.8 cubic feet, versatile enough for transporting a variety of cargo.
