The Fiat 500L delivers a new approach to the way a car expresses styling individuality, the way it communicates with the outside world and opens its doors to a new on-board experience. The letter 'L' sums up the six dimensions of the Fiat 500L: "Leveraging," the FIAT brand's approach to its iconic Cinquecento design DNA; "Large," meant as functionality and space via its new "small-wide" vehicle architecture; "Loft," a trendsetting environment where one can live life to the fullest behind segment-exclusive panoramic views and the segment's largest dual-pane sunroof (20.7 sq.ft. (1.92 m2) dual-pane glass system); "Lifestyle," four unique models including the all-new Fiat 500L Trekking that perfectly blends rugged styling and versatility for a Cinquecento that complements customers with a highly active lifestyle; and "Light," when 'lightness' means human- and eco-friendly technology.

Paired with its tight European handling and quick steering, the sixth dimension, "Liters" defines the fuel-efficient MultiAir Turbo engine in the all-new Fiat 500L, providing the highest output-per-liter and best-in-class standard horsepower (160 hp) and torque (184 lb.-ft.) in the segment. For even more driver precision and control, the Fiat 500L features a six-speed manual transmission, or segment-exclusive six-speed dual dry clutch transmission (DDCT).

All-new Fiat 500L Trekking: the adventurous side of the 500L The premiere of the 2014 Fiat 500L Trekking expands the appeal and practicality of the Fiat 500L with distinct, rugged looks; an athletic two-tone interior environment; unique front and rear fascia designs, flared wheel arches and larger 17-inch wheels to support its adventurous personality.

"From Gucci to Abarth, our Fiat 500 and now all-new Fiat 500L illustrate the different personalities and capabilities the FIAT brand can deliver from the same basic sheet metal," said Tim Kuniskis. "And with the rugged personality of the Trekking, we will attract a wider cross section of customers while keeping intact all the great benefits of the Fiat 500L."

Making the all-new 2014 Fiat 500L Trekking distinct is the addition of aggressively styled front and rear fascias with Nero (black) accents for a bolder look. Unique Nero wheel arch and body-side sill moldings give the Fiat 500L Trekking a more adventurous look, while larger 17 x 7-inch aluminum wheels hint at the urban-utility vehicle's handling capabilities.

A unique two-tone Nero/Marrone (black/brown) interior environment continues the Fiat 500L Trekking's rugged-athletic theme. At the center of it all, an all-new Uconnect 5.0 system features a 5-inch intelligently and intuitively designed touchscreen interface, handsfree calling and Bluetooth-streaming audio, as well as voice-command control of the radio and a media hub for seamless integration of portable devices. For even more capability, the Fiat 500L Trekking can be had with the premium Uconnect 6.5 system with its larger 6.5-inch touchscreen radio, with dealer-activated navigation with intuitive map graphics and a premium media hub with SD card reader.

The all-new 2014 Fiat 500L and all-new Fiat 500L Trekking models are produced at FIAT Automobiles' manufacturing plant in Kragujevac, Serbia, and will arrive to FIAT Studios in North America in mid-2013.

A me i fanali di queste versioni ammeregane piacciono tantissimo...sembra un cartone animato!

Uhm, le avessero messo degli inserti blu e rossi e sarebbe risultata pressoché uguale a LUI .

E' il doppia frizione FPT in versione americana, debuttato sulla Dart.

La scelta di colorare i fascioni laterali è azzeccata, imho. Dovrebbero renderla disoinibile anche da noi o, addirittura, eliminarli totalmente. Concordo sui fari.

[el Nino 487]

Il fascione anteriore in tinta le dona e da questa foto pare evidente che vogliano presentarla come un "compact van" o un "crossover" al pari della Kia Soul. Proprio il posteriore però, imho soffre per il fascione in tinta e per l'eccesso di lamera: in sostanza a parte i fari, il mega-logo Fiat e l'indicazione del modello non c'è altro.

PS: hanno modificato anche il vano porta targa? E mi pare che nella 500L europea lo scarico fosse nascosto. Magari è specifico per la versione Turbobenza da 160 cv Usa spec.

[Pandino 6,830]

La preferisco rispetto alla versione europea...

[alfa75qv88 210]

Continuano a non convincermi i fari davanti, per il resto piace anche a me più della EU!

[Albizzie 111]

nè fari e nè tantomeno la piccola presa d'aria anteriore, migliora invece con i fascioni laterali e posteriore colorati.

ma nel complesso, esteriormente, continua a non piacermi.
