Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Land Rover Discovery Sport 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the FIAT 500X as you will with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, 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). Clearly, the FIAT 500X is a better financial choice over the Land Rover Discovery Sport, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a smaller turning radius than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is clearly the choice over the FIAT 500X for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the FIAT 500X has a lot less horsepower than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

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

Utility
The FIAT 500X has less seating than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, making the Land Rover Discovery Sport the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The FIAT 500X has significantly less cargo capacity than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
