Despite many people’s opinions, Fiat’s expertise with city cars is undeniable. Vehicles such as Panda, Punto and, most recently, 500 have had so much success that the company even seems to have given up offering upscale cars with this brand, dedicating Alfa Romeo and Lancia to take Bravo, Croma, Marea and Stilo’s public. Such strategy enables it to focus on its best-selling vehicles, and this is precisely what has been done. After having 500L so well-accepted, now it’s time to present this minivan’s “extra-large-sized” sister.

After a long time of concept cars being shown and speculations of all kinds, Fiat takes this big opportunity and uses the Los Angeles Auto Show to reveal their next cars to arrive in North-America. Even in Europe, they’re making a big effort into taking 500 from an only version to a whole car family. The first steps were creating the Abarth sporty versions, then the convertible body called 500C, and now the minivan 500L. Here you will find out about two members of this stylish Italian family that just made their debut in the US.

Quem não conhece o Cinquecento? Esse compacto da Fiat teve vendas massivas na Itália dos anos 50, mas cinco anos atrás ganhou uma releitura moderna que lhe fez um sucesso mundial. Ele abandonou o caráter de baixo custo que caracterizou o antecessor em favor de uma abordagem de luxo e charme que deu muito certo. Tanto que agora chega sua “irmã maior”, a minivan 500L. Sua ideia é aliar todo esse carisma a espaço muito maior para levar uma família completa, mas ela também traz outras vantagens.
