A small AWD gasoline SUV

The 2021 Fiat 500X AWD is a small sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive. It uses gasoline, a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It belongs to the Fiat 500 family; see the Fiat cars lineup.

26 MPG combined

The key EPA number is 26 MPG combined. The split is 24 MPG in city driving and 30 MPG on the highway. That makes it more efficient on open roads than in stop-and-go streets, while keeping one combined figure for mixed driving.

$2,600 a year for fuel

The estimated annual gasoline cost is $2,600. Tailpipe carbon dioxide is rated at 356 grams per mile. Your actual bill will follow how much you drive and how closely your trips match the city and highway ratings.

Its city and highway trade-off

Against its own ratings, the 500X AWD gives up 6 MPG in city driving compared with highway driving. The 26 MPG combined figure sits between those two results, so a driving mix heavy on urban miles will not match the highway number. No other vehicle figures are provided here for a direct side-by-side comparison.

For buyers who want AWD

This SUV suits someone who wants a gasoline-powered small SUV with all-wheel drive and accepts a combined rating of 26 MPG. It also fits drivers whose routes include enough highway travel to approach the 30 MPG highway figure.

Efficiency versus all-wheel drive

The 500X AWD pairs four driven wheels with a 1.3-liter turbo engine and automatic transmission. Its 24 MPG city rating and $2,600 yearly fuel estimate are the running-cost trade-offs for this setup. Highway trips return the stronger 30 MPG rating.

A compact AWD choice with a clear fuel bill

Choose the 2021 Fiat 500X AWD if all-wheel drive is central to your small-SUV search and you can budget about $2,600 for a typical year of gasoline. Its 26 MPG combined result is workable for mixed routes, with the strongest efficiency arriving on highways. City-heavy driving will land closer to 24 MPG. The 1.3-liter turbo four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic keep the specification straightforward, while the 356-gram-per-mile CO2 figure gives its emissions a concrete reference point.
