The Fiat 500 will get a bigger brother. Here comes the 500XL
The Italian brand is really determined to fully exploit the name 500, creating another version that has nothing small. This will be called the 500XL and will have a length of 4350mm, 200mm more over the 500L, and almost 800mm more over the normal Fiat 500.
The largest changes occur on the back, with the obvious increase in length, there is now room for a third row of seats if you want it, or just a bigger boot capable of over 500 liters.
The design of the rear lights is similar to the one in the 500L, and so is the overall shape with the exception of a little spoiler to allow for a better airflow.
Presentation should happen later this year, but for now we can assume that most of the engines found in the Fiat 500L will also be available in the 500XL with the possibility of the weaker ones being replaced for a few more powerful engines due to the increased weight of the car.

2013 Fiat 500L Trekking
Together with the North American version of the 500L, Fiat will also show the new 500L Trekking in the Los Angeles Motor Show that starts today. The most obvious change between the European and N.A. version are the new headlights.
Comparing with the "normal" model, the 500L Trekking gains protections around the body made in plastic and painted in black, a redesigned front bumper and rear bumper with some minor changes, and a higher ground clearance.
There will be only one engine available for the American market, which is the 1.4liter MultiAir with 160hp connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. On the inside we will be able to find the UConnect system with a 6.5 inch touchscreen.

Fiat 500L with 165bhp
An editor from the italian website AutoEdizione was in Balocco to test the new Panda 4x4 when he noticed a weird looking 500L painted in red with duck tape hiding part of the lights and grill. Fiat was clearly showing a sportier version of the Fiat 500L and even put in big letters on the side of the car the engine it had, which is a 1.4 MultiAir Turbo DDCT with 165hp.
The engine is the same used in the Abarth Punto, but more interesting are those four letters, DDCT, which correspond to the same dual clutch gearbox used by Alfa Romeo (TCT) and that has been really impressive and collecting a lot of good reviews.
