Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler than in the FIAT 500X, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Wrangler 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
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the FIAT 500X as you will with the Jeep Wrangler, 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 Jeep Wrangler, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Jeep Wrangler, 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 Jeep Wrangler.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a smaller turning radius than the Jeep Wrangler, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler 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 Jeep Wrangler.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the FIAT 500X doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Jeep Wrangler.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the FIAT 500X and the Jeep Wrangler. The FIAT 500X has significantly less cargo capacity than the Jeep Wrangler.
