Overview
The 2019 Fiat 500 is a subcompact hatchback offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $16,245. For that price, it mainly competes with the Honda Fit, the Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback, and the Kia Rio Hatchback. Between 2 trims, the 500 offers 2 powertrains. It is a 1.4L turbocharged Inline-4 engine making 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 5-Speed manual transmission and a 6-Speed automatic transmission. The 500 reaches 60 MPH from zero in 9.2 seconds on its manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 8.1 seconds with the automatic transmission. Depending on the powertrain, the 500 can manage a combined fuel economy of between 25 and 30 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 11 striking colors the 500 comes in really pull you towards itself.
