Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mitsubishi Outlander than in the FIAT 500X, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the FIAT 500X and the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Convenience
The Mitsubishi Outlander requires fewer stops at the gas station than the FIAT 500X, making it more convenient to drive.

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 FIAT 500X will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Mitsubishi Outlander, 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 Mitsubishi Outlander.

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

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the FIAT 500X will do just as well as the Mitsubishi Outlander, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the FIAT 500X and the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the FIAT 500X transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

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