Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota RAV4 Prime 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 Toyota RAV4 Prime.

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 Toyota RAV4 Prime, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the FIAT 500X is much slimmer than the Toyota RAV4 Prime, 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 Toyota RAV4 Prime.

Handling
The FIAT 500X has the same turning radius as the Toyota RAV4 Prime, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota RAV4 Prime 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 Toyota RAV4 Prime.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the FIAT 500X transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Toyota RAV4 Prime.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the FIAT 500X and the Toyota RAV4 Prime. The FIAT 500X has significantly less cargo capacity than the Toyota RAV4 Prime.
