Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 than in the FIAT 500X, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the FIAT 500X, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the FIAT 500X as you will with the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43, 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 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43, 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 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 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 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43.

Powertrain
The FIAT 500X has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43, 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 FIAT 500X and the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43.
