Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid than in the FIAT 500X, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid 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.

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 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In 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 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a smaller turning radius than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, allowing you to more easily maneuver 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 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the FIAT 500X has a lot less horsepower than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the FIAT 500X doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In 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 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid. The FIAT 500X has significantly less cargo capacity than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.
