More powerful 2.5-liter flat four-cylinder engine
Subaru's EyeSight system is standard on all models
Increased passenger and cargo space
2.0-liter turbocharged engine has been discontinued

Pros

Handling isn't as composed as it is in some competitors

Modest tow rating limits overall utility
Only available engine is underpowered

Full-time all-wheel drive system
Fuel efficient four-cylinder petrol engine

Cons
Archaic three-year warranty

Italian fashion
Composed ride
Standard AWD
Good tech

Cons
Can get expensive with options
Active safety tech costs extra
Rivals are roomier
Gearbox can fumble

The 500X undergoes few changes for 2021. The base Pop trim and the midrange Trekking both receive updated seat upholstery and dashboard trim while the Sport model can now be ordered with the Sport Value package. The optional package adds a panoramic sunroof, 19-inch wheels, a Beats stereo system, LED headlamps, front and rear parking sensors, in-dash navigation, and heated front seats.

Pros
Cute appearance,
gutsy powertrain,
plentiful amenities.

Cons
Puny cargo space,
tight rear seat legroom,
high starting price.
