Comparison Review

Comfort
The FIAT 500X offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Solterra, with comparable 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 Subaru Solterra.

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 Subaru Solterra, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Subaru Solterra, 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 Subaru Solterra.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has the same turning radius as the Subaru Solterra, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The FIAT 500X has a little less horsepower than the Subaru Solterra.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the FIAT 500X does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Solterra.

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