A few months after significantly updating the 500L, Fiat has introduced a new version to complement the lineup – the City Cross.

It can already be had in selected European markets, where customers can choose between nine colors, including the new Sicilia Orange paintwork, which come in contrast with the black roof.

Key exterior elements are the special bumper with skid plate, tweaked grille, black accents, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a 25mm (0.98in) raised ride, all of which should “meet the expectations of customers looking for an urban crossover”, in Fiat’s words.

Inside, the new Fiat 500L City Cross gets black or white trims and black fabric seats with the ‘500’ logo on the backrests.

These are backed up by the standard equipment that includes 3.5-inch TFT color display, multifunction leather-wrapped steering wheel, Uconnect HD Live infotainment with touchscreen display, voice control, and Bluetooth, manual climate control, and cruise control, among others. Additionally, customers can also have the optional UCOnnect HD Live with a 7-inch touchscreen that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.

Fiat offers the 500L City Cross with a choice of three petrol engines – the 1.4 95PS (94hp), 0.9 105PS (104hp) and 1.4 120PS (118hp), alongside the petrol and LPG 1.4 120PS (118hp), and two diesels – 1.3 95PS (94hp) and 1.6 120PS (118hp).
