Living, which will be publicly revealed in July. Fiat has given the car the name the Magic Purpose Wagon because it claims that it combines the looks of the 500, drivability of a city car, exterior size of a mid-size car and room of a C-segment station wagon. It looks more like the Living might be a jack of all trades but a master of none, but we will no know that for certain until it goes on sale. 

The platform is identical to the 500L, but the Living adds a folding third row of seats and extra cargo room. It has an interior volume of 628 liters, 238 liters more than the 500L. It is 435cm long, 178cm wide and 167cm tall, which is 21cm longer, than the current 500L.

When it goes on sale the 500L Living will be offered with the 1.4 16v 95hp petrol engine, 0.9 TwinAir Turbo 105hp petrol, 1.6 MultiJet II 105hp diesel and 1.3 MultiJet II 85hp diesel. 

There will be two trim levels - Pop Star and Lounge. Fiat is offer the Living with 19 exterior color variations, 11 of them in two-tone and six interior trim colors.

Orders for the 500L Living will begin in July in Italy and later in the rest of Europe. Fiat has not said when it will go on sale.
