City streets worldwide are the natural habitat of the iconic Fiat and the 500L combines its famed compact style with the crossover look of the new Cross version. It features a Mode Selector for choosing three different response modes according to driving style and road conditions: Normal, Traction+ and Gravity Control.
Everyone who chooses to drive the new 500L, on city streets or rough terrain alike, has the same, very current need: to stay connected, share the thrills of the journey, communicate, listen to their favourite music and receive traffic and weather information in real time. In the 500L you can do this and more while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road using UconnectTM HD Live with 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen, Apple Car Play integration and Android AutoTM compatibility.
The Cross version adds a new dimension to the personality of the 500L. In addition to the Mode Selector, the adventure-loving character of the car is emphasised by specific equipment, 25 mm more ground clearance and style details delivering a genuine crossover look: new bumper design, new side protections and new front and rear skid plates. The Cross is accompanied by the purest of city versions, Urban, and the Wagon, in which roominess and versatility are taken to the highest levels with seven, fully reconfigurable seats.
These are not just three versions; they are three authentic identities, created to delight different people and serve different needs. All three share outstanding safety features, such as Autonomous City Brake, the automatic braking system operating in cities at speeds under 30 km/h, and the largest boot in its class.
The internal configuration is also extremely flexible, enabling customers to create up to 1,500 internal customisations. Exclusive packs, developed ad hoc, also enable every customer to customise his or her 500L by enhancing its style, connectivity, comfort and safety features. Petrol, LPG, methane and diesel engines, delivering up to 120 HP, paired with five or six speed manual or Dualogic robotic automatic transmissions are available across the range.
The engines most suited for the specific needs of customers were picked for the different identities of the model.
The petrol engine line-up includes the 1.4-litre 16V delivering 95 HP, the 1.4-litre 16V TJet delivering 120 HP and the 0.9-litre TwinAir delivering 105 HP. The range is completed with the bi-fuel petrol and LPG 1.4-litre TJet delivering 120 HP and the bi-fuel petrol and methane 0.9-litre TwinAir delivering 85 HP. The offering is completed by two diesel engines: the 95 HP 1300 cc 16V MultiJet, also with Dualogic transmission, and the 120 HP 1600 cc 16V MultiJet. All engines comply with the Euro 6 standards and successfully combine sparkling performance with fuel economy.
