To keep things simple, the 500 X can be described as the SUV version of the 500, which shares its mechanical components. The front-wheel drive version features the 1.4-litre 160-horsepower 4-cylinder, while the AWD version inherits the 2.4-litre 180-horsepower engine. As with the Jeep Renegade with which it shares its platform and mechanics, it has multi-setting all-wheel drive.
