Reviewer’s opinion

“Powering the 500X range is a 1.4-litre turbocharged mill producing 103 kW of power and 230 Nm of torque. This is paired with a 6-Speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The power is adequate for this style of vehicle. For puttering about smoothly in town, it’s fine. On the open road we’d argue the engine could do with perhaps an extra 20 kW, but even without it, the engine and drivetrain combo feels fine. This is also taking into account that the vehicle’s kerb weight is 1360kg. Claimed combined fuel consumption is at 5.7 l/100km which is quite decent.” Tayedza Mbiri, AutoTrader
