The inner-city optimized Fiat 500 produces 135 hp and 150 lb-ft from its turbocharged 1.4-liter Multi-Air four-cylinder engine, dispatched to the front-wheel-drive drivetrain. With the five-speed manual gearbox, the 500 gets from 0-60 mph in nine seconds, slower than the Honda Fit despite the turbo-power at hand. The Italian hatchback makes for a great city explorer but demonstrates inefficiency on highways and discomfort over long distance journeys. The Fiat's competition in the subcompact hatchback division only offers FWD models, of which most garner more power than the Fiat. If it's real performance you're in search of, however, the Abarth trim offers hot-hatch power in a micro-sized package.2019 500 Performance Photos
Fiat Fiat FiatEngine and Transmission
All Fiat 500 trims harness 135 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque derived from a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Power is diverted through the standard five-speed manual transmission to the front wheels. There is an optional six-speed automatic transmission available, however it delivers sluggish, jerky shift changes. The new turbo engine in the 500 has presented major improvements in passing power and overall acceleration and as a plus, gives the hatchback a louder, grumbling soundtrack through a standard sports exhaust. It does, however, present a bit of turbo lag as the turbocharger spools up, delaying acceleration but quickly getting up to speed thereafter. Compared to the competition the Fiat matches up only in torque, which makes it great for maneuverability on tight city roads, but its lack of power has the little hatchback struggling to reach highway speeds with its rivals providing zippier and more comfortable performance in this regard. The manual five-speed gearbox is marginally better than the six-speed automatic option, delivering a little more power, managing boost better, and avoiding the jerky shift changes of the automatic.2019 Fiat 500 Performance Specs
