The only obvious rivalry between the Fiat 500 and the Mini, coupled with variants that have recently been added to the catalog of the British model have led Fiat to its urban versioned "fashion" in order to advance in breadth and versatility. We have set the wheel of this new minivan Italian city to learn your strengths. Among them, a spacious and versatile interior and a trio of mechanical efficiency, the 0.9 TwinAir Turbo with 105 hp and 95 hp 1.4-liter, in the chapter on gasoline, and 1.3 Multijet II 85 HP, as diesel.

A first glance is enough to see that, despite the name of this new model of Fiat is 500L, its appearance is far from the image of cute little supermini, the 500 basic essence hitherto knew. For starters, it should be emphasized that this is a vehicle of 4.14 meters long, 1.78 m wide and 1.66 m tall. Or what is the same, 60 cm long, 15 cm wide and 17 cm higher than the conventional 500.
But beyond the elongation of the body, accompanied by an increase in wheelbase, this small MPV receives input level design that differentiate it from its little companion. Regarding the front, are seen some larger optical preserving, yes, rounded forms, vehicle design essence. The lower grille also bigger which, combined with a higher nose and "bloated", creates a greater visual packaging in the case of the Fiat 500.
In the new model, the characteristic silhouette of inspiration ball disappears, giving way to forms that closely resemble those of the new Panda. It is imperative, therefore, the concept of compact minivan short overhangs and a stylish aesthetic, following the line of the family saga. And also the following possibilities regarding external customization, as they may choose from five body colors, three colors in contrast to the ceiling with the rest of the body and three colors for tires.
The 500L is a competitor to cars like the Citroën C3 Picasso, the Hyundai IX20, the Kia Venga, the Nissan Note or the Opel Meriva. They all exceeded, however, both inside and size of trunk capacity.

The increased length of the new Fiat is key to achieving its main objective, which is nothing to gain living space, finishing with the narrowness of the two rear seats of 500. But first assess the driving position, which offers a good range and outstanding reach for controls. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the stool is rather short and the lateral support improved.
The dashboard, which combines matte and glossy surfaces, is characterized by an attractive design and casual style of the outline. Offers good overall finish, although grateful reduced presence of hard plastics in some areas. The center column is dominated by a 5-inch touch screen, where you manage the UConnect multimedia system. Among other functions, this device offers connectivity to smartphones, from which you can listen to the radio or even SMS received. Later, you can also manage the Facebook and Twitter through various applications. The screen is standard across the range but, curiously, not used to display the information of the optional TomTom, a removable appliance that sits on a stand just above the dashboard itself.
Despite apparently higher, is only three inches longer than the point but offers a very spacious interior, especially for rear passengers. This area can be accommodated without problems 500L three people, although it will enjoy greater comfort if they are only two. The rear seats can be folded in separately-60/40- ratio and longitudinal adjustment feature (12 cm long), thanks to which the occupants may get the most suitable position. There is clearly a great light inside the cabin, achieved through a glass ceiling of 1.5 square meters, the largest in its category.
The trunk capacity is another of its virtues, because with the rear seats in normal position, the vehicle provides a volume of 400 liters, a figure that could grow to 430 to overtake and stop the rear bench completely abatiendola 1350 liters. It should also be achieved highlight the versatility of the new Fiat family member. In this sense, the system highlights Fold & Tumble, which allows the rear seats fully folded very easily and with little effort. It is also possible to load objects with a maximum length of 2.4 meters by folding down the rear seat and right front passenger. At the functional level is also called Magic Cargo Space, a rigid trunk tray that can be positioned at three different heights in order to organize your luggage or to protect fragile objects from other more resistant.

The new Italian model is available with three different mechanical options, two petrol and one diesel, all designed to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions. The most remarkable in the field of efficiency among the petrol engines is the 0.9 Turbo 105 hp TwinAir, which recorded an average consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers and emissions of 112 g / km of CO2. This twin engine, with a maximum torque of 145 Nm at 2,000 rpm, is also the most powerful of the range and the vehicle moves with ease, although his best behavior as we get up to laps.
Then comes the second block of petrol, a 1.4 liter 95 hp with 127 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. This marks a higher consumption of 6.2 liters and emissions of 145 g / km above also. Meanwhile, the chapter addresses the mechanics diesel 1.3 Multijet II, which delivers 85 hp and a torque of 200 Nm at 1,500 rpm. This is the saver engine range, as it achieves a cost of only 4.2 liters per 100 km, the same way that offers the lowest emissions in the section. It is distinguished mainly by its extremely smooth operation and progressive but not as desirable as the 0.9.
The three thrusters are associated with manual gearboxes, while gasoline blocks are geared to a six-speed gearbox while the diesel is combined with a five.

In this regard, it should be noted that platform 500 is not of 500L, but has its origin in the point, although notable modifications such as the apparent increase in the wheelbase. One of the basic premises that engineers have sought the Italian brand with 500L development was undoubtedly ride comfort. Therefore, damping has a rather soft tared able to effectively absorb the uneven surface.
Note that is stable to roll on twisty, without forgetting for a moment that is not intended for lovers of sportsmanship. Although their shaky moron shocks generates some oscillations of the body, they are not much less exaggerated nor detract one iota of overall comfort.
With proper leadership of soft touch, the Italian model transmits all necessary information while driving. It also helps to accentuate that address the feeling of agility to move between the streets of any city. And, although not to the level of 500 for purely physical, it shows that this new Fiat also feels like home for urban territory.

On security the 500L comes standard front airbags, front side curtain for all seats and knees for the driver and system ABS with Brake Assist (BAS). In regard to electronic aids, the Italian car has electronic stability control (ESC), which integrates the TCS (electronic traction control) and Hill-start system, among other functions. The City called brake control system is responsible for detecting objects in front of the vehicle and brake automatically if the driver does so to avoid a collision or reduce the consequences of a possible impact, will be optional. This system operates below 30 km / h. and very useful in urban traffic jams.
In terms of passive safety, the most interesting thing is that Fiat has developed a frame with a third line abosrción impacts on the front, ie third crumple zone designed to absorb some of the energy released in an impact and not pass it so the occupants.
Standard equipment includes electric front windows, electric mirrors, steering wheel and gearshift lever in leather, driver seat height adjustable, alloy wheels 16 ", cruise control, ESP, air conditioning and CD radio with said central display 5 ".
Left to the option list items such as rear power windows, rear windows darkened, a second interior mirror to control the rear seats, electric lumbar adjustment in the front seats, tires 17 "trays behind the seats front fog lamps, the light and rain sensors, climate control, electric sunroof, a panoramic glass roof of 1.5 square meters, the Beats sound system and digital radio with USB and Bluetooth. addition, as is Naturally, the entire range of metallic paints and bicolor.

With this new addition to the compact MPV segment, Fiat has a large vehicle with a versatile interior designed especially for families. His shooting is very comfortable and is driven by three mechanical shining especially for its efficiency. Its attractive exterior and interior design style drinks brand colleague, the 500, although it receives details evolved and a silhouette that gives it a unique character.
