Fiat 500L (2013-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Versatile and practical cabin	Basic standard of finish
Available with five or seven seats	Poor real-world economy of TwinAir models
Cheap used car prices	Not at all sporty to drive

Quick Summary

The Fiat 500L (2013-present) is a quirky and versatile compact MPV that prioritises practicality over conventional styling. Its boxy design maximises interior space, offering ample headroom and legroom in the front, with large side windows creating an airy cabin. The standard model provides average boot space for an MPV, whilst the stretched MPW version offers seating for seven people and significantly more cargo capacity. The cabin features basic, wipe-clean plastics and chunky controls—practical rather than premium—with higher-spec models offering body-coloured trim and improved materials. All versions include remote central locking, air conditioning, and electric power steering, with newer models featuring optional Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The 500L delivers a comfortable, cushy ride with soft suspension that absorbs bumps effectively, though the slow steering and lack of sportiness may disappoint keen drivers. Engine options range from the disappointing 0.9-litre TwinAir to smoother 1.4-litre petrol units and efficient 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre diesel engines, with the latter achieving up to 70.6mpg. Safety is assured with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and standard six airbags. Residual values are weak, making pre-owned examples excellent value, though TwinAir versions depreciate particularly poorly. Road tax varies significantly by engine, from £20 annually for the 1.3 Multijet diesel to £220 for the 1.4 MultiAir petrol.

Best for: Families seeking affordable, practical space with flexible seating, budget-conscious buyers, and those wanting to stand out with distinctive styling.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising sporty handling, premium cabin materials, or strong residual values, or those considering TwinAir petrol engines.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 500L if: You need affordable, practical space with flexible seating options, want distinctive styling that stands out, or are seeking excellent value in the used compact MPV market.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise sporty handling, premium cabin materials, strong residual values, or prefer conventional styling over quirky design.

Competitive Position: The Fiat 500L is a strong contender in the compact MPV segment, offering exceptional versatility and value. Whilst the Ford B-Max scores higher overall and the Citroen C3 Picasso offers slightly better user ratings, the 500L's combination of affordable pricing, flexible seating arrangements, and practical design makes it an excellent choice for budget-conscious families. Its weak residual values work in the buyer's favour when purchasing used, though the TwinAir engine should be avoided. The 500L's distinctive styling and spacious interior make it a standout option for those willing to prioritise practicality over premium feel.
