Small Family MPV Review: Ford B-Max vs. Fiat 500L

Ford B-Max vs. Fiat 500L, I know you are not very familiar with this type of article in this space. But time-to-time, I want to share my opinions with you.

Ford B-Max and Fiat 500L are the small family MPVs. Ford B-Max offers more conservative design with sliding rear doors and Fiat 500L is the Fiat 500 with steroids. In my opinion, Fiat 500L has a better design in both exterior and interior than the Ford B-Max. But this does not mean that Ford B-Max does not look good, it also does! Especially the sliding rear doors are very practical for tight parking spaces and loading items to rear seats.

What I perceive from these two cars, Fiat 500L is more fashionable small family MPV for families whom do not wish to vanish their sense of fashion due to their larger family. On the other hand, Ford B-Max is designed for practicality more than fashion sense. It is definitely for families whose primary concern is the practicality!

Both Ford and Fiat are in similar price range in many market however, due to taxation for different engines size you may see difference prices.

Ford B-Max offers petrol engines of 1.4-lt 90 HP, 1-lt Turbo EcoBoost 100 / 120 HP and 1.6-lt 105 HP for PowerShift automatic gearbox. Diesel are; 1.5-lt 75 HP and 1.6-lt 95 HP. Except 1.6-lt petrol engine rest of the range is offered with 5-speed manual. This is the only disadvantage of Ford B-Max, limited automatic gearbox option and 5-speed manual.

Fiat 500L offers petrol engines of 1.4-lt 95 HP and 0.9-lt 105 HP. Diesels are 1.3-lt 85 and 1.6-lt 105 HP. Automatic gearbox is offered only with 1.3-lt diesel engine and the rest is 6-speed manual.

Very Creative, Funny, Entertaining Fiat 500L Rap Advertisement

Fiat 500L, definitely not the sexiest car on planet and ruined the retro sexy Fiat 500. However, the advertisement team wanted to turn Fiat 500L into something more charming and necessary by the rap style video “The Motherhood feat. Fiat 500L”. I used the word necessary, because the recent advertisement of Fiat UK created a perception for 500L as the necessary vehicle for the mothers. 
Actually, not a bad idea. 500L is really big and offers lots of boots space and five proper doors and proper rear seats. Moreover, it doesn’t look that bad when you compare the other family MPV cars.
After this advertisement from Fiat UK, I started to emerge some sympathy to 500L. Not my type of car but definitely 500L is one of the best car for new families! At least 500L has the DNA of 500!
Lastly, this video will turn into viral! And also not a very song for iTunes!
Here are the technical details:
The Fiat 500L will be available initially with a choice of four low emissions engines (Euro 6 petrol and Euro 5+ diesel), with Start&Stop as standard on TwinAir and MultiJet engines. The full engine line-up comprises the award-winning TwinAir 0.9-litre petrol (105hp), 1.4-litre 16-valve petrol (95hp), 1.3-litre 16-valve MultiJet diesel (85hp) with manual or MTA transmission, and 1.6-litre 16-valve MultiJet diesel (105hp).

Sexy and Funny Fiat 500 Commercials (Fiat 500L and 500e)

Fiat 500 and sexy commercials. After the Fiat introduced the 500 model to North American market, we started to see sexy commercials of Fiat 500 featuring Catrinel Menghia shouting to a guy and then we saw Catrinel Menghia again but topless for Fiat 500C Abarth.

And now, we have the ugly duck Fiat 500L! And Fiat 500e (Electric powered). Unfortunately, Fiat 500L is kind of second disaster after the Fiat Multipla. Honestly, Fiat 500L is not that bad, but it does lack the charming design of Fiat 500. Fiat 500 needs to be three door hatchback but finance department does not agree with this!

As a result of new models of Fiat 500 will be available on American market, there should be some type of new sexy and naughty commercial. Remember, these are not the Super Bowl commercial, they are just normal one :)

Actually, Fiat 500L’s commercials are way beyond creative and better than the car, I am really sorry to say this. But 500L commercial are really creative and funny and you engage with them. You want to know what will happen next! Well done Fiat! And it made the Fiat 500L more sympathetic.

I am definitely sure, after these commercial people will buy Fiat 500L and Fiat 500C.

Fiat 500L is here with Espresso Machine

Fiat 500L received so much attention and took a place in Twitter’s top trends. So, I decided to take a look again to stretched Fiat 500.
And Fiat 500L created the same impression on my like Mini Clubman! Fiat 500L does not look ugly but not charming like the original one. Exterior design is quite well re-interpreted for a long wheel base and the extra two doors do not look that bad. 
Interior of Fiat 500L is very well made, from the photos you can easily spot the high material quality. And similar design bits with the new Panda. I really like the interior of the 500L more than its exterior.
In the end, for me Fiat 500 is small three-door one. However, customers demand different type of cars and here is the Fiat 500L to satisfy their needs :)

Last note, Fiat 500L offers on-board espresso machine :)
