Fiat 500L Trekking, jump the pond to reach Europe

While we wait anxiously to 500X , the SUV “pure and simple”, Fiat will poke their first foot on the crossover campers mixed with utility-sized MPV with Fiat 500L Trekking. In this already met and played live in the past Hall of Los Angeles, where he was one of the protagonists in American variant. But now Fiat presents the European variant, which changes the format of its headlamps (no longer so cool LED strip daytime running).

It’s body, in any event, earns the same protections plastic, a ground clearance thing higher, specific 17 inch wheels shod with mixed tires, and special bumpers. Technical specifications added to conventional Fiat 500L emulation system integrated limited slip differential to improve traction in difficult conditions, but it remains a front-wheel drive, and if you want a 4×4 “pure” then wait for the 500X.

The engine range will be shared with the Fiat 500L “normal” with the 1.4 petrol 95 hp, the 105 hp TwinAir petrol, diesel and 105hp 1.6 and 1.3 85 hp. The latter will be available with the robotized DUALLOGIC. In the medium term we expect to get a more powerful gasoline engine in the form of 165 hp MultiAir petrol but “time to time”.

The carrier has a specific design for these Trekking, finished in gloss black dashboard . From now know the price list, but we could talk about a bonus of at least €1,500 compared to Fiat 500L “conventional”, in exchange for this aesthetic “and more casual jacket.”

From our point of view 500X better to wait to “terrain” of truth, although this will, for sure, much more expensive. And after all, if you never, or almost never going to get off the road.
