Fiat 500X
The Fiat 500X finds itself in an extremely competitive market segment—sub-compact SUVs—and has a tough time attracting buyers in Canada. As a cousin of the Jeep Renegade, it uses many familiar components but stands out with a more Euro-flavoured (obviously) driving environment. The engine under the hood is a turbocharged 1.3-litre four-cylinder producing 177 horsepower along with 210 pound-feet of torque. The only transmission available is a nine-speed autobox.
