Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Renegade than in the FIAT 500X, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Renegade will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the FIAT 500X.

Convenience
The FIAT 500X requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Jeep Renegade, 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 Jeep Renegade.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Jeep Renegade, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the FIAT 500X takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Jeep Renegade.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Renegade, making it slightly more difficult to 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 Jeep Renegade, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the FIAT 500X and the Jeep Renegade.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the FIAT 500X and the Jeep Renegade are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
