The “L” in the title of the 2014 Fiat 500L Beats Edition stands for larger, given this version is bigger than its smaller sibling, the Fiat 500. This 5 door has an overall length of 14 feet.
Critics say that the “L” edition is less attractive. This model includes exterior enhancements with the interior just like the 500 model.
It comes equipped with a special Beats audio system. If you have not already guessed, the car was inspired by the Dr. Dre stereo collaboration.
