Overview

Competing in the subcompact wagon, the 2015 Fiat 500L Wagongoes up against other notable names in the class, like the Kia Soul Wagon and the Mini Countryman Wagon. Spread across 5 trim, the 500L Wagon starts off at a base price of MSRP of $19,495 and carries on to $24,695. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are two transmissions on offer. The standard engine is a 1.4L turbocharged inline-4 enginerated for 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. With this engine, the 500L Wagon gives you a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.

Buying Advice

Considering the features offered for the money, the Easy trim is a perfect choice for those who are looking for an economical car with decent comfort. However, stepping up to the all new Urbana trekking limited edition unlocks access to features like the leather steering wheel, black-painted exterior trim details and wheels, a, leatherette door panels and the Beats Audio system.
