The 500L The FIAT 500L - the L stands for ‘Large' - builds on the success of the 500 range, which has already grown to incorporate Abarth and Cabrio versions to satisfy a more diverse customer base. With the ‘L' the 500 range expands further to meet the demands of its customers, accommodating their changing needs without sacrificing their desire for style and fun.
The new 500L will occupy the place of the Idea in the FIAT range but is not a direct replacement. Instead, the 500L combines MPV passenger space with the feel and attitude of a compact SUV, all contained within footprint of a B segment car.

The FIAT 500L is 414cm long, 178cm wide and 166cm tall, but, thanks to its ‘cab forward' design (pioneered by FIAT in the 1956 FIAT 600 Multipla), the FIAT 500L is a proper five-seater with ample luggage and secondary storage space.

Final details of the Irish range will be announced closer to the FIAT 500L's late 2012 launch.
