A whimsical compact wagon with room for the whole family
The 2014 Fiat 500L gives you a big dose of the Italian carmaker’s distinctive flair in a vehicle that offers a relatively generous amount of room for cargo and passengers. The four-door compact wagon comes in four different trims, each of which is designed to suit a different lifestyle with a mix of comfort features, available driver aids, style upgrades, and other perks. Large doors that are nearly level with the roof line make it easy to slip in and out of the 2014 Fiat 500L, and there’s plenty of room for three kids to sit in the back. The car features a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that churns out 160 horsepower and is only available in FWD.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Fiat 500L
1. Generous cargo space
For a relatively small car, the 2014 Fiat 500L provides a generous amount of cargo space. You’ll find 23.1 cu-ft of storage behind the rear seats—enough for a week’s worth of groceries, a couple of suitcases, or gear for a day at the beach. Need more space? Adjust the 60/40 split/fold-down rear seat to get up to 68 cu-ft in total if you have a lot to haul.
2. Expansive view upfront
The moment you slip into the high-mounted front seats of the 2014 Fiat 500L, you’ll get a glimpse of the expansive field of vision this car offers. It’s equipped with a wide windshield that provides practically uninterrupted views toward the horizon. Not only does it treat you to confidence-boosting visibility on busy highways and sweeping views when you’re on road trips in beautiful areas, but it also makes the cabin feel more airy.
3. Whimsical design
The 2014 Fiat 500L’s whimsical design will deliver major curb appeal when parked in your driveway. Between the doe-eyed headlights, propeller-blade-shaped grille piece, bulbous rear, and tall stature, this compact wagon captures attention as it meanders down city streets. Take the retro styling one step further with available contrasting roof colors and available racing stripe graphics on the bodyside
4. Four trim options
Whether you’re passionate about adventures in the great outdoors or you prefer sophisticated urban living, you can find a 2014 Fiat 500L that fits your lifestyle. It comes in four distinctive trim options, ranging from the streamlined Pop and the slightly upgraded Easy trim to the higher-end Trekking and Lounge trims. You can also find more features through the available packages and groups, such as the Sound Group, which includes a BeatsAudio™ Premium Sound System.
5. Easy to park
If you’re regularly navigating tight parking spaces at your apartment complex or busy shopping areas, you’ll appreciate how easy it is to park the 2014 Fiat 500L. Its petite size alone makes it easy to get in and out of cramped parking spaces on the lot. For even more parking assistance, the Fiat 500L also offers a park assist system and rear backup camera, available in packages for the Easy, Trekking, and Lounge trims.
