Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Dodge Hornet 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). Whether you pick the Dodge Hornet or the FIAT 500X, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet 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 Dodge Hornet, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the FIAT 500X.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Dodge Hornet will do just as well as the FIAT 500X, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Hornet greatly out-muscles the FIAT 500X.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the FIAT 500X, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Dodge Hornet and the FIAT 500X.
