We have to get the elephant in the room out of the way, it does look like someone has pumped a Fiat 500 up with helium and just let it expand. The 500L is never going to win any beauty contests, but to throw it aside for that without looking at the reasoning behind its design would be a mistake. The 500 actually takes some inspiration from the incredible ‘60s 600 Multipla’s ‘cab forward’ design, which allowed incredible all-around vision that cars today just don’t have. So, get behind the wheel and you’re surrounded by an incredible glasshouse that gives one of the best driving views of any car on sale today.
The interior is a wonderfully funky but functional place to be. Perfectly designed for families and loaded with tech. The latest 500L has a brilliant little seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system complete with Tom-Tom satnav system and also comes with panoramic roof, climate control, DAB radio and ambient lighting as standard. Materiel quality has been raised with a recent facelift to make that interior a rugged but tactile experience.
