Fiat makes the 500 cooler and more capable with the 500L

The cute dinky 500 gets bigger and more practical
Five years down the line, the Fiat 500 gets its first major makeover. The 500L combines the iconic nature of the 500 style with the functionality of Fiat's design. Expanded on the concept of 'space efficiency', the new model defies the conventional distinctions owing to its MPV passenger space, the feel of a small SUV on the road and levels of efficiency typical of a compact car. By following this novel recipe, the Fiat 500L combines characteristics peculiar to different classes to offer a concept of distinctive and versatile first car that is an alternative to the traditional saloons of the B and C segments.
The Fiat 500L is 4 metres and 15 centimetres long. But its real competitive advantage is that with only 7 cm more than a Fiat Punto, the Fiat 500L easily accommodates five passengers 2 meters tall with their five suitcases without ever compromising passenger room. Suffice it to say that the Fiat 500L boasts the best passenger volume index in the segment: with front and rear volumes combined, passengers have a space of 3.17 cubic metres available. The Fiat 500L is then Large also in terms of functionality, as the 1,500 possible configurations of the interior space demonstrate. For example, the customer can easily transport any material up to 2.4 metres long by folding the front passenger seat and only one rear seat forward. Even if you have to use the passenger seat equipped with "table" adjustment, you can fold it forward to get a complete support surface.

Why is Fiat selling a rehashed Fiat Panda from Europe and selling it in India as the 500L? The Panda brand might do much better in India at the right price point.

This article has a lot of grammatical and analytical flaws that do not make for good, and more importantly, accurate reading. The 500L cannot be called a 500 with a 'makeover', as it is an entirely different model quite dissimilar obviously, to the 500. Much like the Ertiga cannot be called a 'refreshed' Swift. A lot of readers look to Zigwheels for accurate information, so let's respect their faith.
