Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V Hybrid than in the FIAT 500X, due to its greater head- and legroom. The FIAT 500X offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
With the Honda CR-V Hybrid, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the FIAT 500X, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). Clearly, the FIAT 500X is a better financial choice over the Honda CR-V Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the FIAT 500X, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a smaller turning radius than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the FIAT 500X is clearly the choice over the Honda CR-V Hybrid for pulling heavy loads. The FIAT 500X has a little less horsepower than the Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the FIAT 500X does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the FIAT 500X and the Honda CR-V Hybrid. The FIAT 500X has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda CR-V Hybrid.
