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.
Even more 500
The new Fiat 500L is designed to reinforce the family feeling of the model by emphasising its key stylistic characteristics. The exterior style expresses all the distinctive elements which have characterised the model throughout its history, ever since its iconic 1950s forerunner, with an even more complete identity. The most obvious reference to the past is in the “moustache and badge” combo set on the trapezoidal nose, the upper headlights with chrome-plated elements, still circular and dynamic-looking, and the lower cluster with LED daytime running lights which pick up the graphics of the two “zeros” in 500. With this finely styled detail, the new 500L clearly proclaims its identity even in the dark. What’s more, the front bumper with signature trapezoidal trim and the chromed “studded” three-dimensional lower grille mesh give the car an attractive and very elegant look. At the same time, the chromed strips which direct the eye to the wheel arches convey toughness and individuality. With these changes, the front of the new 500L is even more expressive and seductive. The key feature at the rear are the chromed inserts that underline the family feeling and horizontal trims that reinforce the car’s presence and impact on the road. The fog and reversing lights are in the underside of the bumper. This change is functional rather than just stylistic, and increases the effectiveness of the various lights.
Horizon-broadening crossover technology
The more adventurous character of the Fiat 500L is represented by the Cross version. It has a one-of-a-kind crossover look with new bumpers and skid plate, new two-colour diamond-finish 17-inch tyres and a bold grille to give a sporty, masculine appearance to the car. Ground clearance raised by 25 mm and the new Mode Selector are standard. By turning the knob provided on the central console, thisenables the driver to choose from three different response modes depending on driving style and road conditions: Normal, Traction+ and Gravity Control. Normal is the default function and is intended to provide a comfortable, safe ride in ordinary conditions. Traction+, which can be activated at speeds of less than 30 km/h, helps the car to start on surfaces made slippery by snow, ice or mud and provides optimal torque distribution across the front axle, braking the wheel with less grip on the ground and transferring torque to the one with more bite. Gravity Control holds the speed constant when descending steep slopes, and can be enabled when the Traction+ function is active. The mode selected is displayed on the TFT screen.
Safety and comfort
The Cross identity is not the only one to benefit from major technological contents. The entire range offers features developed to improve the driving experience, comfort and safety. First and foremost, the very useful Autonomous City Brake. This driving assist system consists of a laser sensor located on the top of the windscreen to monitor the position of the cars ahead. When travelling at less than 30 km/h, the system automatically brakes the new 500L if a potential collision is imminent.
Other key items of equipment include the child monitoring mirror to keep an eye on rear seat passengers, LED daylight running lights and parking lights, which in addition to being design features reasserting the 500 style, also ensure excellent visibility. As well as power adjustment and heating, the side mirrors can be upgraded to fold electrically and add puddle lights, to illuminate the area around the car when light is poor.
The passenger compartment lighting is also improved, with ambient light in the base of the central console, on the central tunnel and on the doors. The rear parking camera is equally state-of-the-art, with improved resolution in poor visibility and active grid lines to assist parking (available from the last quarter of this year).
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.
