2020 FIAT 500L: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2020 FIAT 500L
1st generation (2014-2020 U.S.), after the 2018 facelift, final U.S. model year
FIAT positioned the 500L as the practical, family-friendly member of the 500 family: a tall hatchback that mixes small-footprint city manners with wagon-like passenger and cargo room. Its appeal was space efficiency and flexible seating more than outright performance. Compared with many small crossovers, it stood out for its upright cabin, big glass area, easy access, distinctive Italian styling and configurable rear-seat/cargo layout.
The 2020 500L remained a roomy, upright hatchback with tall seating and a flexible rear seat. Pop focused on the basics, while Trekking added rugged-looking trim, heated leather seats, navigation and Beats audio. Lounge emphasized comfort with dual-zone climate control and rear parking sensors, while Urbana gave Trekking a blacked-out look with copper cabin accents.
