Prompted by the Volkswagen emissions scandal, the French government commissioned a test which in 2016 found many cars not complying with the intention of the emission laws. The Fiat 500X was measured as the worst offender having a NOx emission level of 1.35 g/km, 17 times the Euro 6 limit of 80 mg/km.
