Fiat 500L Beats EditionTM

The Fiat 500L Beats EditionTM offers a sound system that is revolutionizing the way music can be experienced inside the car. Artist and record producer Dr. Dre, Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman and record producer Jimmy Iovine, worked side by side with Fiat Group sound engineers to develop and calibrate the sound system introduced for the first time last year on the 500L model. The result is a system that offers a listening experience marked by premium sound.

On the outside, the Fiat 500L Beats EditionTM is characterised by the refined two-tone grey/black livery - matt or glossy - enhanced by red and satin chrome elements for a modern, metropolitan look. The same style is found inside, in particular in the distinctive 'total black' environment and the new fabric and eco-leather black trim with red stitching.

The new special edition is already available in the Italian market and will soon reach other European markets.

New 120hp engine versions for the 500L range

In 2014 Fiat is expanding the engine range of the 500L with two new options, the 1.6 MultiJet II turbodiesel and the 1.4 T-Jet petrol engine.

Both turbocharged and with 120hp the two power units share the same characteristics of performance, fun driving and limited consumption and emissions.

The 1.6 MultiJet II 120hp is a high-performance engine also marked by fuel economy, ideal for long journeys. It has an effective combination of advanced engine solutions with Fiat's proprietary MultiJet II technology. Equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger, developed by Honeywell, the new engine ensures segment-leading performance, as demonstrated by the maximum power of 120cv at 3,750rpm, maximum torque of 320Nm at 1,750rpm, top speed of 189km/h, acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 10.7 seconds, combined consumption of 4.6l/100km and CO2 emissions of 120g/km.

With Euro 6 type approval, the 1.4 T-Jet on the Fiat 500L delivers a maximum torque of 215Nm from as low as 2,500rpm and enables the 500L to achieve significant performance: maximum power of 120cv at 5,000rpm, top speed of 189km/h, acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 10.2 seconds, combined consumption of 6.9l/100km and CO2 emissions of 159g/km.

The extreme versatility of the Fire plus Turbo combination has also permitted the development of a petrol/LPG version of the 1.4 T-Jet, which will be available in the coming weeks on 500L models. It complies with the strict Euro 6 standard, increases the available range and ensures impressive performance: maximum power of 120cv at 5,000rpm, top speed of 189km/h, acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 10.6 seconds, combined consumption of 8.9l/100km and CO2 emissions of 144g/km.
