Fiat is showing off a new larger 500L model in advance of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March. The “L” in 500L stands for “large” and while this is the biggest model in the Fiat 500 family, it will still be one of the smallest cars on the road when it goes on sale in Europe later this year and in the North America early next year. The Fiat 500L is designed to better compete with small winners like the Mini Cooper. Fiat boasts that the 500L features the space of an MPV with the taller ride height and capability of a compact SUV. Overall dimensions come in at 13.6 feet in length, 5.8 feet in width, and 5.4 feet in height. Inside, there’s seating for five, although a seven-seat version is expected to be launched for European markets at a later date.Fiat reveals larger 500 model
