Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V 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, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
With the Honda CR-V, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the FIAT 500X will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Honda CR-V.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Honda CR-V, 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.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a smaller turning radius than the Honda CR-V, 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 for pulling heavy loads. The FIAT 500X has a little less horsepower than the Honda CR-V.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the FIAT 500X transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Honda CR-V.

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. The FIAT 500X has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda CR-V.
