Posted: 03 Jul 2012 10:36 PM PDT

Chose a highly symbolic date, Fiat to launch the leisure activity vehicle version of the 500. It was the July 4 five years ago when it was introduced to the Fiat 500, after 55 years since the first version. Today, with a few hours in advance of the calendar, the Fiat 500 l, experiment that cannot be defined MPV for forms, but more correctly goes among the auto “tuttofare”, with a good load capacity and compact size, able to extricate in city traffic. Breaks into thriving small segment from the elevated driving position, since metro to hand the Fiat 500 l is long just 7 inches more than a Fiat Punto, reaching 4 meters and 15 centimeters.

Despite its name, this evocative 500 “elle” was born on the floor that will serve for future point. Two meters and 61 cm step to accommodate 5 passengers, while the boot offers 400 litres capacity. Will in the future also to 7 places, which according to the sizes will be called Fiat 500XL, longer than 20 cm.
It is announced today and will be orderable as early as this month in dealerships, while the doors open, when you can actually touch, will be in October.

Roominess and versatility, so are the watchwords of the Fiat 500 l. The rear seats move longitudinally to adapt the spaces as needed from time to time different, focusing on the trunk or comfort for three passengers hosted on the seats. Of course individually, disappearing are knocked down on the floor, offering a flat loading surface and adjust. But it doesn’t stop here the soul “practical” of 500 l, since in the luggage compartment is an adjustable double bottom on three levels deep to separate loads.

The mechanics do not reserve surprises, with the engines already known on other brand cars in Turin. The launch will be available three engines. It starts with the two-cylinder compact 900 cc Twin Air from 105 horses, which ranks at the top for power, compared to Co2 emissions (which means consumption) restricted to 112 g/km. The purists will choose the four-cylinder naturally aspirated 1.4 litres and 95 from horses, which pays the duty in couple expressed against the twin turbo. Are not so much the extra 10 horses to tip the balance towards the 2 cylinders, since the availability of torque. Will a few NM in addition, agree, but smeared over revving much more favorable. The diesel will be covered with the 1.3-litre Multijet 2 from version 85 horses. Great expectations for the 2013, when he will debut under the hood the 900 cc turbocharged engine powered by gasoline and natural gas, will be the Natural Power version, who hails the elder milledue aspired to marry the fire most modern Twin Air.

Fiat 500 l interiors reflect to some extent some solutions already seen on the Fiat Panda. As the topic round-square wheel – not really a memorable design, especially since goes to marry with external lines soft-while also handles internal doors recall the same treatment. The instrument cluster features four circular elements, those canons of the speedometer, tachometer, fuel level and water temperature, while the Center will display the info of auxiliary on-board computer. The plastic lid extends then to the center of the dashboard, embedding vents air vents and the heart of the infotainment system of the Fiat 500 l. A 5-inch touchscreen which manage the radio, calls on their mobile phone, media player with your favourite music, the iPod and smartphone. You can control all devices listed without the need of connecting with wires, for an integration that will be even greater in the near future, when Fiat announces to accommodate also the screen smartphone app. It’s called U-Connect the system which debuted on the Fiat 500 l and promises major developments.

Do not exalt the colours opaque black plastics, like the choice to combine instrument cluster with display of multimedia. It remains in the background solid body treatment, as already seen on the Fiat 500, while the Fiat Panda is borrowed the “Pocket” in front of the passenger seat, with a closed compartment at the bottom.
In front of the gearshift lever are the air conditioning controls, apart from small compartments.

If the name Fiat 500 l, it goes without saying that you must keep the styles proposed at 500. So the front is nearly faithful replication of the snout of the small utilitarian chic, with due proportion in terms of height and positioning of elements. The outermost Protuberance is the nose bumper, while the arrows, the headlights and grille are just inches behind. Clean grille
