FIAT 500L Trekking Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The Fiat 500L Trekking is a roomy and practical vehicle that provides comfortable seating for five people and ample storage space for their belongings, including five suitcases in its 400-liter boot. Its design incorporates extensive glazing and split windscreen pillars, ensuring exceptional visibility with a nearly 360-degree vision for the driver. EuroNCAP has recognized the 500L's safety features by awarding it a five-star rating.

There are four powertrain options: two gasoline engines and two diesel engines. The petrol lineup includes the 0.9-liter TwinAir Turbo engine with 105 hp and the 1.4-liter FIRE engine with 95 hp. For diesel variants, there is a 1.3-liter engine with 85 hp or a 1.6-liter engine with 105 hp. All engines, except the 1.4-liter one, come equipped with Start & Stop technology.

Setting a precedent for Fiat, the 500L Trekking comes standard with City Brake Control, a system designed to prevent or minimize damage during low-speed collisions. Additionally, it comes equipped with Traction+, an electronic system that emulates the behavior of a self-locking differential, enabling the front-wheel drive car to handle challenging terrains.

The exterior design of the 500L Trekking exudes a sporty and dynamic character, featuring specially crafted bumpers, underbody protection, and satin-finish inserts, as the Fiat 500L Trekking is designed to excel in off-road conditions, featuring specially designed bumpers, protective shields, and increased ride height.

The vehicle sits 10% higher than the regular 500L, providing a ground clearance of 5.7 inches, and is fitted with M+S all-season tires to ensure enough grip in all kinds of situations.

Inside, the 500L Trekking offers a high level of standard equipment, including a 5-inch touchscreen radio with Bluetooth. There are also a lot of optional upgrades when it comes to the interior, ranging from a digital radio and satellite navigation to a premium Beats sound system.

The interior of the 500L Trekking combines functionality and flexibility with a sliding 60/40 split rear seat that accommodates three passengers. The clever Fold & Tumble function allows for a flat load space from the tailgate to the front seats, enabling the transportation of loads up to 7.8 feet long. Rear parking sensors are included as a standard feature.

For the car to offer an authentic Italian feeling like other variations of the Fiat 500L, the 500L Trekking provides the option to have a fully integrated espresso coffee machine in the center console. In collaboration with Lavazza, Fiat has developed a special platform that enables the installation of the coffee maker within the passenger compartment.

Overall, the Fiat 500L Trekking offers a stylish, attractive, and versatile package that combines practicality, safety, and off-road capability. It provides various customization options and accessories to suit individual preferences and offers unique driving experiences.
