Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan Rogue 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 Nissan Rogue.

Convenience
With the Nissan Rogue, 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 Nissan Rogue.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Nissan Rogue, 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 Nissan Rogue.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has a larger turning radius than the Nissan Rogue, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the FIAT 500X is clearly the choice over the Nissan Rogue for pulling heavy loads. The FIAT 500X has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Rogue.

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

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