I suspect it will be both difficult and expensive; the price of a TFT screen from Fiat will almost certainly be astronomical and there will likely be software issues as well - I doubt the display is plug "n play.

I have owned an Abarth 500 for about 4 years now – and as it was starting to show its age a little, I thought I would go out and buy the newer version because to be honest I really don’t want to buy anything else when the little Abarth suits me just fine – also for the simple reason that it happens to be one of the best small cars money can buy.

So when Fiat offered me a test in the updated 500S – I thought ‘oh god it’s going to be slow and nothing like my 500 Abarth’. Well I am happy to report that it’s just as much fun to drive as my car – so here is a quick rundown of what you can expect.

The little 500S I had on test was powered by a 1.3 MultiJet Diesel engine that has 95hp. Top speed comes in around 112mph and a 0-62 time of 10.7sec. Being a Diesel, it does have quite a tidy amount of torque – and being a small car it will get you to where you want go quite quickly and with little fuss.

Fuel consumption – Well that’s the best and most pleasing part here. On a combined cycle it returned around 65mpg – I’m not joking either– the little Fiat just sips away saving you bundles of cash and this again is just another reason why I like the little Fiat so much.

I will keep it simple here; the little 500 is the perfect car to scoot about in – because it’s poised, easy to park and you will always have a little smile on your face every time you drive it. Ok, it’s a little ‘bouncy’ but that’s all the fun of the Fiat. Into the corners it’s just as good as the next best small car, and just as much fun as my old Mini Clubman.

Inside, the 500S is enhanced by black seats and a black roof lining which contrast with the door panels and the seat edges. There is also “Satin Graphite” detailing on the dashboard fascia and a special sports steering wheel. The interior can also be trimmed with a whole host of options to help you design your own unique little space.

A full-colour TFT instrument display with reconfigurable settings is standard on the new 500S along with FIAT’s new UconnectTM 7-inch HD LIVE touch screen with tablet-like controls and a high resolution display also as standard. This system offers a wide range of functions, including Bluetooth hands-free system, voice recognition, Bluetooth streaming, USB connection and a DAB digital and FM/AM radio.

If you remember the good old days of a proper Mini and want to re-kindle the art of having fun while driving, then pop down to your local Fiat dealer and order a 500S. I promise you that you will not be disappointed no matter what version you decide on.

Sales of Fiat’s cute little minicar have been on a downward spiral for the last couple of years in Canada, and the brand is hoping to shake things up by streamlining the range of trim levels and powertrains.

The 2017 Fiat 500 will be available in hatchback and cabrio body styles, and both will offer three trim levels, including base Pop, uplevel Lounge and performance-oriented Abarth. The Sport, Turbo and 1957 Edition models have been discontinued.

The disappearance of the 500 Turbo means the 135-hp version of the 1.4-litre, MultiAir four-cylinder engine is gone. Pop and Lounge trims are still equipped with a 101-hp, naturally aspirated engine, managed by either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic.

The 2017 Fiat 500 Abarth is still available with its turbocharged, 1.4-litre four that develops 160 hp and 170 lb.-ft. of torque with the manual transmission, or 157 hp and 183 lb.-ft. with the automatic.

Although the Sport trim level is gone, a Sport Appearance Package is now offered on the 500 Pop. Basically, it’s the same as last year’s Sport, but without the sport-tuned suspension. The package adds body-colour front and rear fascias, a spoiler, side skirts, smoked headlight clusters, 16-inch alloy wheels and a seven-inch TFT cluster display for the driver.

In addition, the 2017 Fiat 500 Pop can be equipped with a power sunroof, a comfort and convenience group, an Alpine sound system and navigation, but they all require the Sport Appearance Package beforehand.

Otherwise, the 500 Pop gets new interior colours, new cloth seat upholstery and a passenger-side armrest. Meanwhile, all versions of the 500 Cabrio now feature much-needed rear park sonar as standard equipment, which is optional on the Hatchback as well.

The 500 Lounge includes leather-faced seating, heated front seats, chromed and heated mirrors, fog lamps, 15-inch alloy wheels, a glass roof on the Hatchback version as well as a few items that are optional on the Pop, such as air conditioning, a seven-inch TFT driver instrument cluster, a power sunroof, navigation and an Alpine stereo. The Lounge’s options list also includes a Beats Audio sound system.

Pricing for the 2017 Fiat 500, which will go on sale this fall, hasn’t been announced yet. However, the base MSRP should stay close to the 2016 edition’s rather high $18,995 entry price, before freight and delivery charges. The 500 Abarth should start at around $28K. In both cases, choosing the Cabrio instead of the Hatchback will cost an extra $4,000.

Initially only available in a 2-row, 5-seat configuration, the lengthened 3-row, 7-seat variant, called the "500L Living", began production in 2013 for the European market. For model year 2018, the 500L received an intermediate facelift, with revised front and rear fascias along with In-car entertainment (ICE) updates and interior revisions.500L was discontinued in the North American market after model year 2020.

The 500L derives its name from Fiat"s widely known 500 models, including the original 1957 Fiat 500 and the current Fiat 500, introduced in 2007. Underscoring its increased length and overall size over other 500 variants, the suffix L denotes "large", "light" and "loft".

In April 2010, when Fiat released its 2010-2014 product development plan, the 500L was identified as a replacement for the Fiat Idea and its rebadged variant, the Lancia Musa — and was given the internal designation L0 or Ellezero. Two variants were projected, five and seven passenger, the latter originally targeted at North America but ultimately only marketed in Europe.

The 500L platform was based on Fiat"s "Small" platform, first used with the Fiat Grande Punto and further developed since its launch in 2005. With the 500L, the platform is both longer and wider to accommodate the 500L"s cab forward architecture, prioritizing interior volume and reducing of the volume of mechanical systems.

The packaging design closely follows the Lancia Megagamma concept, which Fiat had commissioned from Italdesign in 1979, for a 4-meter, high roof, high h-point, multifunctional, monospace design.

Designers of the 500L said its overall architecture was inspired by Villa Savoye, the modernist house designed in the 1930s by Le Corbusier located in Poissy, France. Fabrizio Vacca, senior interior designer with Fiat"s Centro Stile in Turin described a "layered" theme with a base, a middle with expansive visibility and above that an available, very large, dual-pane panoramic sunroof.

As a five-door, five passenger, two-box, high-roof B-segment MPV, the 500L is based on a variant of the Multiair engines, a hydraulically-actuated variable valve timing (VVT) engine technology enabling "cylinder by cylinder, stroke by stroke"

The 500L"s structural architecture uses 74% high strength steel (HSS) and complies with international safety standards. With three front-end load (crash) dissipation paths the design has wide rear door openings; roof pillars that enable a 90% visibility for the driver"s 360° field of view. Bodywork has a frontal area of 2.54 m2 and a low aerodynamic coefficient of drag (cd) of 0.30 enabled by rear spoiler, underbody engine and rear suspension shields, and integral rear side window nolder profiles (i.e., small aerodynamic lips) to decrease pressure behind the bodywork and reduce mud and debris build-up on the rear window.

The 500L uses shock absorbers (marketed as Koni Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) Technology) designed to filter out high-frequency suspension inputs from uneven road surfaces while maintaining ride control mechanically rather than electronically.

In 2012, the 500L debuted formally at the Geneva Auto Show — followed by a media introduction at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR), the former Grand Repair Workshops of the Italian Railway, now a cultural center located at Corso Castelfidardo 22 in Turin — on 4 July, the day of the year when Fiat has historically introduced its 500 models. The introduction presentation was built around the 500L themes of Large (a large MPV within a 4.1 meter footprint), Light (a light eco-footprint), and Loft (an expansive, lofty interior).

Manufacture of the 500L began at Fiat"s Kragujevac plant in Serbia,joint venture (JV) between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) which owns 67% of the operation and the Republic of Serbia, which owns the remainder. The facilities had previously served as the factory and headquarters for Zastava Automobiles.

500L production was originally scheduled for manufacture at the Italian Mirafiori plant in Turin and was moved to Serbia, because of poor labour relations in Turin.

In 2013, a ship carrying the first 3,000 Fiat 500L units for the North American market docked in the port of Baltimore to unload its first consignment, subsequently delivering the remainder of its cargo to the Canadian port of Halifax.

Fiat markets the 500L in various trim levels worldwide, beginning in 2014 in the US with four trim levels: Pop, Easy, Trekking, and Lounge — subsequently consolidated to three levels with model year 2017. Trim levels available globally include Sport in Canada in lieu of Easy — and Pop Star in Europe. Engine and transmission options vary by country and model year. Available transmissions include a six-speed manual, dual-clutch transmission (DCT), and an Aisin six-speed traditional torque converter automatic.

Trekking models, first presented at the 2012 LA Auto Show feature revised front and rear fascias, optional two-tone Nero/Marrone (black/brown) interior upholstery and distinct options packages. In 2017, the Fiat 500L Trekking is renamed Fiat 500L Weekend in some markets, including France.

To complement the regular length 500L, codenamed Fiat L0 (or Ellezero) (design code 330),Living (or MPW in Ireland and the UK), developed under project code L1, Elleuno, or design code 334.

In 2021, new 500 family Hey Google series debuts with Google assistant, so customers can connect to their car even when they are away from it, using their own voice to request and receive information on the car and to interact with it. They can do so via their smartphone or the Google Nest Hub.

For model year 2018, all models received slightly-revised exterior styling, as well as interior revisions, including a TFT color instrument display screen centered on the instrument panel, replacing the previous monochrome LCD instrument display screen.

A new Uconnect 4C 7.0 infotainment system, replaces the Uconnect 3 5.0BT and Uconnect 3C 6.5N units. The new unit includes an AM-FM radio tuner with Radio Data System (RDS), SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

With the facelift, the seven-seat model was renamed the 500L Wagon (including in Ireland and in the UK, where pre-facelift models had a different name than anywhere else).

For most markets, the 500L is available with a range of petrol and diesel engines: the 2-cylinder 0.9 L Twin Air and the 4-cylinder 1.4 L petrol, and the 1.3 L and 1.6 L MultiJet II common rail diesel engines. In North America the 500L is available with only a single 1.4 L turbo petrol engine, not available in Europe. A "Natural Power" methane powered version of the 0.9 L Twin Air is available in selected European markets.

The 1.6 MultiJet II 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) and 1.4 T-Jet 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) engine versions for the 500L, 500L Trekking and 500L Living were unveiled in Frankfurt Motor Show 2013.

For 2014 three new engine options (1.6 MultiJet II (120PS) turbo diesel, 1.4 T-Jet (120PS) petrol, 1.4 Turbo LPG) were announced for all 500L derivatives. A 1.4 turbo LPG engine models of 2014 Fiat 500L would be available at later date.

For the USA introduction of the 500L, Fiat launched a commercial created by the Doner Company filmed in Old Salem, North CarolinaBryce Pinkham. Titled "Italian Invasion," the ad showed Paul Revere noticing an Italian rather than British Invasion.

FCA donated eight dark grey 500Ls for Pope Francis"s 2015 visit to the United States, two of which the Pope rode in. After serving the Pope, the cars were donated to organizations involved in the Pope"s visit, including the Archdioceses of Washington, Philadelphia, and New York.
