Sporty, zippy, and stylish, the FIAT 500X and Jeep Renegade rule the roads with their progressive features, allowing all your drives in the Chittenden County, South Burlington, and St. Albans area to be a thrill. But unfortunately, you cannot drive two cars at once, so the time has come to decide between these two spectacular models.
At Goss Dodge Chrysler, we want our customers to have the SUV that suits their needs perfectly. To help you in the decision-making process, we've created this FIAT 500X vs. Jeep Renegade comparison. Keep reading below to see what each model offers!
2019 FIAT 500X vs 2019 Jeep Renegade: Performance
The 500X and Renegade sport very similar performances, but there are some differences to take note of. All of the FIAT 500X trims come powered by the easy-handling 1.3L MultiAir® 4-cylinder engine. This is capable of producing up to 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque for a vigorous ride that remains smooth. Additionally, AWD is standard in all trims, which is impressive when you consider the fuel economy is estimated at 24 city/30 highway MPG.
The Renegade doesn't fall too far behind with its standard 2.4L MultiAir® 4-cylinder. This powertrain gets up to 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, however, it doesn't come standard with AWD. It does get a solid fuel economy of 22 city/30 highway MPG. AWD is available, though, as is the 1.3L MultiAir® engine listed above.
500X vs Renegade: Interiors
These crossover SUVs offer the goods where it counts in the cabin. First, these two models are incredibly spacious. Both sport 118.6 cubic feet of passenger volume with seating for five as well as up to 50.8 cubic feet of cargo space when the second row of seats is pushed down. But when it comes to style and technology, the two differ slightly.
Interior Design
If you're looking for more luxury, the 2019 FIAT 500X may be a perfect choice. Inside, you'll find available features that scream elegance like a dual-pane powered sunroof, heated front seats, and tons of interior designs to choose from. Some include:
- Smooth Scuba Vinyl with Black Denim Cloth and Accent Stripes
- Premium Black Leather with Ivory Detailing
- Corniola Punched Leather
The 2019 Renegade also offers you a choice of cloth and leather upholstery, which are heated in the front row as well. However, since this model has a sportier feel, it doesn't include all of the luxury features like a powered sunroof.
Interior Technology
If technology and entertainment is your thing, the Jeep Renegade is the way to go. Inside, available features are advanced like the Uconnect® 4C NAV multimedia system that comes with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display. Also available are:
- Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™
- Advanced Navigation
- Bose® 9-Speaker Sound System with 12-Channel Amp
Although the technology in the FIAT model is also progressive, the touchscreen maxes out at seven inches (which is standard on all models) and the Bose® sound system offers one less speaker. However, progressive navigation and smartphone integration are also found in this model.
