📖Fiat 500L Living / Wagon Facelift: late-model 7-seater durability and chassis care

Fiat 500L Living / Wagon Facelift (2017-2018)

The facelifted 500L Living (officially designated 500L Wagon post-2017) enjoyed a brief production run, adopting the refreshed corporate front bumper, ring-accented lighting and modernised Uconnect 7-inch infotainment. Presenting an attractive alternative to compact MPVs like the Volkswagen Touran, its rarity makes careful Fiat 500L maintenance and provenance verification the key to acquiring a dependable seven-seat family vehicle.

The engine range for this late phase focused on the Euro 6 compliant 1.4 FIRE 95 hp, alongside the 1.3 MultiJet II (95 hp) and the benchmark 1.6 MultiJet diesel (120 hp). Given the vehicle's substantial unladen weight and 7-passenger capability, diesel models require proper highway exercise to ensure effective diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration and avoid EGR valve carbon buildup. Routine servicing must also address rear chassis alignment and suspension damping.
