2014 Fiat 500L Living Review, Price, Interior, Exterior, Engine. - The new Fiat 500L Living is the superlative expression of Fiats characteristic ingenuity in creating vehicles that make everyday life more simple, and a bit more fun as well. The family feel is clear right from the external style, which rejects sharp edges in favour of "rounder" shapes, maintaining the friendly, cheerful look of the Fiat 500. But inside, the new vehicle is full of surprises, guaranteeing exceptional comfort, space and load capacity. Thats why the 500L is the perfect first vehicle for the whole family, a model which appeals to a wide range of consumers, thanks to its combination of style, functionality and efficiency.
The Fiat 500L Living demonstrates Fiats ability to design and produce innovative vehicles with maximum space efficiency. It is not by chance that the new model is leader among mid-sized MPVs in terms of the ratio between exterior dimensions and interior space, including both the passenger compartment and the boot. With the addition of the third row of seats, the new vehicle is the most compact 5 + 2 seater MPV in its category: it is 435 cm long, 178 cm wide and 167 cm high. Despite being 20 cm shorter than a C-segment Station Wagon, the Fiat 500L Living ensures exceptional comfort, space and load capacity. And thanks to its compact dimensions, the new car guarantees handling and practicality in urban driving parking in tight spots, smooth lane changes, agility on corners and in narrow streets that make it unique.
Price :
The standard 2014 Fiat 500L seats five passengers. The base Fiat 500L goes on sale this month in the U.S. starting at $19,900, including an $800 destination charge.
Specs :
Fiats 500 lineup continues to grow as the company has just unveiled their new seven-passenger 500L Living. Described as a "Magic Purpose Wagon," the 500L Living is essentially an extended length version of the standard 500L. As a result, the model has familiar styling and measures 435 cm long, 178 cm wide and 167 cm tall. The déjà vu continues in the cabin where the most notable change is a new third row seat that appears to fold relatively flat. With the rear seat folded, the 500L Living has a best-in-class cargo capacity of 638 liters (22.5 cubic feet).
In the 5-seater configuration, thanks to the modular second row of seats, the luggage compartment has a minimum capacity of 560 litres (seats all back) and a maximum capacity of 638 litres (seats all forward). The Fold&Tumble 2nd row and the passenger seat can also be fully folded down. This means the customer can obtain a flat loading surface for the entire length of the passenger compartment (2.60 metres), for optimum use of the interior space: its volume reaches 1584 litres. And thats not all. With the Cargo Magic Space system, the load platform can also be adjusted on three levels, separating fragile objects from heavy ones, clean objects from dirty ones, bulky objects from small ones. The load compartment is also filled with pockets and hooks, allowing you to transport any object in total safety and tidiness.
Engine options :
At launch, the Fiat 500L Living will be available with one petrol engine - the 105 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo - as well as two turbodiesels: the 105 HP 1.6 MultiJet II and the 85 HP 1.3 MultiJet II, the latter also with Dualogic robotised automatic transmission. Each with their own different qualities, all exploited to the full in combination with the 6 or 5-speed manual gearboxes of the petrol and diesel engines, respectively.
These will feature the new 105 HP 1.6 MultiJet, which ensures a fun drive, high range, low running costs and longer service intervals. Equipped in this way, the new version reaches a top speed of 180 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 12.2seconds. All this with reduced fuel consumption and emission levels: the data recorded on the type-approval combined cycle were 4.5 litres/100 km and 117 g/km of CO2 respectively. Aerodynamics that set the standard for the segment - CX of 0.30 - contribute to a reduction in consumption and emissions. This was achieved through close attention to the form and configuration of the car as a whole.
Fitted with a small turbocharger of fixed geometry, a variable displacement oil pump and alternator with "smart charge", the 105 HP 1.6 MultiJet on the Fiat 500L Living is part of the second generation of MultiJet engines which ensure category topping economy, ecology and performance. The secret of its performance lies in the new fuel supply system with faster injectors able to execute multiple injections in rapid succession. Specifically, the MultiJet II systems servo valve technology with balanced plunger enables it to manage up to 8 injections per cycle, offering greater speed, flexibility and precision in the various phases of operation.
