Fiat 500L

  • 2014 Fiat 500L live photos, 2012 L.A. Auto Show

    If you've owned the retro-style Fiat 500 and subsequently had a family, or maybe always liked its styling but want a car with more space, then the 2014 Fiat 500L is probably the car for you. It's also on sale next month from a starting price of $19,100, with four trim grades to choose from and a peppy 1.4-liter turbocharged engine as standard. Whether you believe Fiat's assertion that the 500L builds on the appeal of its smaller sibling is open to opinion. We think it's a little ungainly, joining the MINI Countryman as evidence that a classic small car's cheeky lines can't always be scaled...

    More Fiats On The Way: Moving Beyond 500 To Bigger Cars?

    Fiat is best known for its small cars. Not just in the U.S, where the diminutive Fiat 500, the 500 Abarth, and larger 500L are its only offerings, but in its home markets in Europe, too. Large Fiats have rarely persisted--poor sales and uncompetitive products have often pushed them to the...

  • 2013 Fiat 500L live photos

    Not all the cars being unveiled at today's Geneva Motor Show are destined for the U.S. But the 2013 Fiat 500L, the longer, taller, larger "Fiat 500" crossover that will offer all-wheel drive in a Fiat 500 for the first time, is one that will definitely come Stateside. Fiat released photos of the 500L before the show, but now our intrepid team of photographers has shot it on the floor--in a crowded display that either packed the cars together with the crush of onlookers or put them up on pedestals. The 2013 Fiat 500L will compete head-to-head with the Mini Cooper Countryman. Both cars are...
