Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW X1 than in the FIAT 500X. The BMW X1 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the FIAT 500X.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the BMW X1, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the FIAT 500X.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW X1 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the FIAT 500X, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much wider than the FIAT 500X, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the BMW X1, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the FIAT 500X.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the BMW X1 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the FIAT 500X.
