Fiat 500L (2013)

  
CARBARN | Fiat 500L (2013) | After 800,000 cars were sold in 110 countries around the world, today has grown to accommodate 500 new experiences and needs more time. If the 500 super-compact car is perfect for the young and the city, Fiat 500L is the first car can accommodate 500 families of small joys of life and the higher emotions all together: children, friends, travel, music and society. Continued commitment to identify products that have great wealth of technical expertise and design, especially in terms of propaganda that "the inventive skill" distinctive recognized as one of the reasons for success of Italian design worldwide, can be traced from Dante Giacosa way for the new Fiat spent Project.



Fiat 500L is the result of the way in which Fiat designers had to deal with the problems of technological feasibility, brand strategy and research, which set in advance in order to understand the relationship we have with the car in the futureIn addition to being comfortable and functional, Fiat 500L is legal. It is a taste of Italian style with a distinctive look and a unique ability to interpret Fiat to conceive and design cars that are innovative in nature and form. The substance is the concept of "space-efficiency," which features all the Fiats of the most innovative in the history.



Fiat 500L reformulates the compact category for the modern family in a vein through the emotional development of some of the stylistic details of 500 unseen ways. Recognizable features of the Fiat 500L, marked by the concept of the body except for edges and lines stretched to promote the "soft" form refers to "calm", non-corrosive object that conveys the charm and predicts a more harmonious model of the urban landscape and the environment. Developed in the framework of the new B-segment platform of Fiat, Fiat 500L is an innovative vehicle that appeals to a broad customer base and diversified and seeks to establish higher standards in terms of space and comfort on board.


One of the features of Fiat 500L conducted in the early stages of planning, packing more interior volume, the resulting compression of careful mechanical elements shared by designers and engineers. Fiat 500L is an overview of the external and the brightest in its class, it has the largest roof in its class - 1.5 square meters of glass - and the windshield pillars were divided and reduced to cleverly offer clear advantages in terms of active and passive safety as well. The color and materials Region Fiat Automobiles Group conducted a study specifically aimed at the classification of the possible scenarios of Fiat 500L, was held to give the corresponding formulas to sensory experience.

According to a recent survey, 4.1 meters average length of cars sold in Europe. What is the length of the Fiat 500L? 4 m and 15 cm But its real competitive advantage in the fact that only 7 cm more than the Fiat Punto, Fiat 500L easily accommodates five passengers two feet, with your bags five, without prejudice to the passenger area. Suffice it to say that Fiat 500L is the highest level of passenger volumes in the segment with a combination of front and rear passenger space is 3.17 cubic meters available.

The engine range consists of engines 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 liters. The efficient 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines (MPI without cost between 44 kW / 60 hp and 55 kW / 75 hp) are used to drive the new line-up!. The 1.2 and 1.4 liter four cylinders were designed as each load with gasoline direct injection (TSI). They produce 63 kW / 85 hp and 77 kW / 105 hp (both 1.2 liters) and 90 kW / 122 PS and 103 kW / 140 hp (both 1.4 liters). A point of reference: the 1.4 TSI BlueGT the new Polo is a respectable 22 kg lighter than its series counterpart cast iron engine it replaces.


The innovative design of the exhaust manifold, Volkswagen was able to very narrow single-scroll turbo compressor selection to use. This also reduces the weight of the motor. This has resulted in reduced engine very responsive. Take the example of the camshafts (DOHC) unit here is not a chain, but a hard single stage, low-friction belt with a belt of 20 mm in width and load-reducing wheel profile belt.  The operation of the valve through a rider rollers and roller bearings for high load on the first camshaft bearing also lead to reduced friction. 


Emissions and fuel
consumption and improve torque and the rpm of the lower values, the intake camshaft of all the motors EA211 designed to be adjustable in a number of crankshaft angle of 50 degrees on PS 1.4 TSI 140 of the new Polo BlueGT an exhaust camshaft regulator is added. It allows the distribution of the times you want to control, allowing even more spontaneous response from low revs, at the same time, higher torque at high rpm. The great thing about art is its engine Volkswagwen BlueGT Polo active cylinder management (ACT). Volkswagen is the first manufacturer to implement this technology to save on fuel cylinder off four cylinders, as previously the domain of the big eight or twelve cylinders. 


Even while driving at 70 km / h in fifth gear, fuel consumption is reduced by 0.7 Pole BlueGT l/100 km. ACT is active on a number of engine speeds between 1,400 and 4,000 rpm and torque capacities from 25 to about 100 Nm - a large map feature that provides up to 70 percent of all were driving in the EU driving cycle!
