While the reintroduction of the Fiat 500 on the market was a real success, the 2-door Fiat 500 was a little too small to carry rear passengers and cargo.

The 500 L was the new addition to the Fiat 500 series. It was based on the Fiat Punto and somehow kept its retro look. It was ideal for a family, having plenty of interior room as well as enough space for vacation luggage.
