The 500L is a new addition to the 500 range, which, following the Abarth and Cabrio versions, is intended to broaden the 500's appeal to different types of customers, who require more space than the standard 3 door 500 can offer.
Central to the design is to offer MPV passenger space on the inside combined with the feel of a small SUV on the road, within dimensions and offering the efficiency of a B segment car. As such, Fiat believes it has created a distinctive alternative to the traditional B and C segment offerings.
The 500L features a 5-seater single-volume structure which is 414 cm long, 178 cm wide and 166 cm high. It features a 'cab forward' design, introduced by Fiat with the 600 Multipla.
Produced at the Fiat factory in Kragujevac, Serbia, the Fiat 500L will be introduced to Europe in the last quarter of 2012, with an engine range which will initially comprise two petrol engines (TwinAir and 1.4-litre) and a turbodiesel engine (1.3 MultiJet II) and the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology from Fiat Group Automobiles.
The Geneva Motor Show will open its doors to the public on the 8th March.
