While Fiat is yet to launch the 500 Abarth in the Indian market, the Italian carmaker has imported an example of the 500L MPV. The model imported is powered by an oil-burner.
The Fiat 500L is a MPV available in 5 and 7 seat configurations. Fiat has imported the 500L with a 1.3 liter Multijet diesel engine. This engine churns out 84 bhp and 200 Nm of twisting force. Other engines on offer include 1.6 liter Multijet diesel and a 0.9 liter Twinair. The 500L is available with manual and dual clutch automatic transmissions.
The Fiat 500L is equipped with a host of airbags as standard and a plethora of electronic aids like ABS with EBD, BAS, ESC.
Fiat India currently has only three products in its line-up- Avventura, Punto and the Linea. With the 500L, Fiat will be entering the rapidly growing Indian MPV market.If Fiat wants to launch this MPV, it will have to be localised heavily to keep the price in check.

Come on Fiat!!!!! we are tired of listening/reading about your proposed plan for India…but so far except for Punto and Linea…there is nothing much to write about..we love your cars….launch 500L /500X and Panda in India soon with a correct price tag.. Even Honda has woken up now..don’t know why you are still sleeping…. Eagerly waiting to see 500L/500X and Panda in India at a right price hopefully during this year itself…
Come on Fiat. Launch the 500X.
It is high time for Fiat to refresh its line up. As the MPV market is booming its a right move to bring in 500L to India
