Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Encore GX than in the FIAT 500X. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Encore GX and the FIAT 500X.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Encore GX as you will with the FIAT 500X, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Encore GX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the FIAT 500X.

Dimensions

Handling
The Buick Encore GX has the same turning radius as the FIAT 500X, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Buick Encore GX has a little less horsepower than the FIAT 500X.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Buick Encore GX doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the FIAT 500X.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Encore GX and the FIAT 500X. With the Buick Encore GX, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the FIAT 500X.
