Fiat 500L Multi Air Updates

Thursday, 20 February 2020 10:10 PM The Fiat 500L, which features the 1.4 MultiAir Turbo engine, was discontinued in the North American market after the 2020 model year. This decision did not affect its availability in other global markets, but it marked a significant shift in Fiats strategy for the region. I think this move was likely due to changing market preferences and competition.

Wednesday, 20 February 2019 10:56 PM In 2019, Fiat introduced the Urbana Edition for the 500L, adding new standard features and customization options. This update included new exterior paint colors and premium features like front-fascia chrome accents and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Urbana Edition enhanced the vehicles style and appeal.

Tuesday, 12 June 2018 09:53 PM For the 2018 model year, the Fiat 500L was awarded “Best Economic Performance” by the Automotive Science Group (ASG) in its Automotive Performance Index study. This recognition highlighted the vehicles value and economic efficiency.

Monday, 01 January 2018 10:34 PM By early 2018, the production of the Fiat 500L had reached 500,000 units, marking a significant milestone for the model. This achievement underscored the vehicles popularity and appeal globally.

Thursday, 31 August 2017 05:57 AM The 2018 Fiat 500L received an intermediate facelift, which included revised front and rear fascias, new bodyside molding designs, and updated in-car entertainment systems. This update also introduced a new Uconnect 4C 7.0 infotainment system, enhancing the vehicles technology and user experience. I believe these updates helped keep the 500L competitive in the market.

Saturday, 26 July 2014 03:26 PM In 2014, Fiat announced new engine options for the 500L, including a 1.4 Turbo LPG engine, in addition to the existing 1.6 MultiJet II turbo diesel and 1.4 T-Jet petrol engines. This expansion provided more choices for consumers looking for different fuel options.

Tuesday, 01 January 2013 06:08 PM The 500L Living, a 3-row, 7-seat variant of the 500L, began production in 2013 for the European market. This extended version catered to families and those needing more seating capacity. I think this variant was a smart move to expand the models appeal.

Tuesday, 06 March 2012 03:42 PM The Fiat 500L, launched in 2012, was notable for its use of Fiats Multiair variable valve timing engine technology and its monovolume cab forward architecture. This design prioritized passenger and cargo volume, making it a unique offering in the mini MPV segment.

Wednesday, 07 March 2012 12:20 AM The Fiat 500L was based on a variant of the FCA Small Wide platform and was known for its high H-point seating, high roof, and reconfigurable interior system called Cargo Magic Space. This design made it stand out in terms of practicality and comfort.

Tuesday, 29 June 2010 07:28 AM The Fiat 500Ls 1.4 MultiAir Turbo engine won the prestigious Engine of the Year award in the Best New Engine of the Year category in 2010. This engine combined MultiAir technology with a turbocharger, setting new standards for efficiency and performance. I think this award was a significant milestone for Fiats engineering prowess.
