FIVE years after the presentation of the Fiat 500 and 55 years after the début of the historic 500, the Fiat 500L has made its debut again. It is the new chapter of the Italian icon that follows the Abarth and Cabrio versions.
The 500L combines the iconic nature of the 500 style with the functionality of Fiat’s design. Expanded on the concept of ‘space efficiency’, the new model defies the conventional distinctions owing to its MPV passenger space, the feel of a small SUV on the road and levels of efficiency typical of a compact car.
By following this novel recipe, the Fiat 500L combines characteristics peculiar to different classes to offer a concept of distinctive and versatile first car that is an alternative to the traditional saloons of the B and C segments.
The 500L is totally new in the way it expresses its styling individuality, communicates with the outside world and opens its doors to a new on-board experience. The letter ‘L’ sums up the three dimensions enclosed in the new Fiat solution: Large, meant as functionality and space; Light, when ‘lightness’ means user-friendly technology and eco-friendliness; and Loft, a trend-setting environment where one can live life to the fullest.
The new development of the multi-award-winning Fiat two-cylinder engine, the TwinAir is at the top of the segment in terms of fuel consumption and emissions thanks to its low displacement and inclusion of a high-efficiency turbocharger.
The Fiat 500L can be ordered in Italy and on the major European markets starting from July. The commercial launch is scheduled in Italy with an Open Day on the first weekend in October, to then progressively expand to all the other markets. Altogether, during 2013 the Fiat 500L will go on sale in more than 100 countries around the world, including the United States.
