Fiat presents the first official images of the 500L, the new
model which will have its world preview at the International Geneva
Motor Show on 6 March this year.
500L - the L stands for 'Large' - is the new addition to the 500
range, which, following the Abarth and Cabrio versions, furthers
the brand's strategy, with the aim of extending its offer by
introducing models in a position to satisfy different types of
customers.
With the 'L', the 500 expands and grows together with customers,
to accommodate new experiences and needs once more.
With MPV passenger space combined with the feel of a small SUV
on the road and the restrained dimensions and efficiency of a B
segment car, the new Fiat model defies the conventional
distinctions between the various segments, combining the typical
characteristics of different categories in order to create a
distinctive alternative to the traditional B and C segments.
With the 500L, the Fiat brand demonstrates its creative spirit
once more: a marriage of functionality and emotion, it features a
5-seater single-volume structure which is 414 cm long, 178 cm wide
and 166 cm high. It is a further development of the concept of 'cab
forward' introduced by Fiat with the 600 Multipla, a precursor to
the concept of the compact people carrier.
Produced at the Fiat factory in Kragujevac, Serbia, 500L is a
'first car' for those who won't settle for anything less than
Italian style, the versatility that comes from a functional design
and engine technology that sets the bar in terms of efficiency.
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.
