Fiat 500 is probably the most versatile model in the automotive industry at the moment. What I mean is that it has multiple personalities that can literally suit anyone. And now Fiat is introducing two other special edition specifications of the popular car which will debut at the 2014 Miami International Auto Show. Namely, they are Fiat 500 Ribelle and the Fiat 500L Urbana Trekking.

In addition, at the event the company will also showcase the entire lineup and highlight the updates for the 2015 model year. Some of them include advanced instrument panel with a 7-inch cluster display for the Fiat 500 line, and automatic transmission options for the high-performance Fiat 500 Abarth and the five-passenger Fiat 500L.

The currently presented two new models are based on the 500 Pop and the 500L Trekking. 2015 Fiat 500 Ribelle (the latter word means rebel in Italian) shows its adventurous nature with a red Rosso roof, spoiler and mirror caps.

To make a perfect contrast the designers at Fiat complemented these red accents by the gloss black color called Nero Puro of the headlamp and tail lamp bezels. In addition, in the same color come the wheels. They however also add Rosso wheel caps.

The car will be offered in four exterior paint colors: Bianco (white), Billet Argento (Billet Silver), Grigio (gray) and Nero Puro. While the interior options are only two: Grigio/Nero or Grigio/Rosso.

2015 Fiat 500L Urbana Trekking is intended also for the urban streets. It has a Matte Nero exterior mirrors and bezels on the front and rear fascia, side sills and body-side molding. The car runs on 7-inch Matte Nero wheels. The black paint is complemented by Satin Chrome door handles, tail lamp bezels and accents on the front and rear fascia.

Here, six glossy exterior paint colors are available: Verde Bosco Perla (Forest Green Pearl), Rosso Perla (Deep Lava Red), Giallo (yellow), Bianco (white), Grigio Scuro (Gray Metallic) and Blue Tornado, paired with a Nero (black) roof. Inside, the 500L Urbana Trekking adds some special tweaks like the Nero leather steering wheel, leatherette door bolsters and cloth seats.

Of course, the Beats Audio system is standard. It features six premium speakers, a 6.5-inch dual-voice coil (DVC) subwoofer with trunk-mounted enclosure and eight-channel amplifier with Beats Audio’s proprietary digital sound processing (DSP) algorithm.

2015 Fiat 500 Ribelle will be available at dealerships in December at a starting price of $17,395 USD, while the 2015 Fiat 500L Urbana Trekking will appear in studios in the first quarter of 2015 with a price tag beginning at $22,795 USD.

2014 Fiat 500L Beats Edition is a special series vehicle that is currently introduced by the brand. It will expand the current Fiat 500 range and will offer new colours and interior trims. But let’s review why this car is named “Beats”.

As you might have guessed already, it is because this edition is equipped with revolutionizing sound system. For its development the artist Dr. Dre and Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman and record producer Jimmy Iovine, worked side by side with Fiat Group sound engineers to develop and calibrate the sound system. As a result the occupants will experience unmatched premium sound.

The exterior of the new model is painted with the refined two-tone grey/black livery – matt or glossy finish, and features red and satin chrome elements. The same style is found throughout the interior. Precisely, the coupe is decided in ‘total black’ and is wrapped with fabric and eco-leather black trim with red stitching.

The Beats Edition will be equipped with either the 1.6 MultiJet II turbo-diesel engine or the 1.4 T-Jet petrol one. Both of them deliver the 120 horsepower (88 kW). The first unit is marked by fuel economy, ideal for long journeys. Here the peak power is reached at 3,750 rpm, while the maximum torque is of 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) at 1,750 rpm, and the top speed – 189 km/h. With this engine, the Fiat can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.7 seconds, and will have a combined fuel consumption of 4.6 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 120 g/km.

On the other hand, the 1.4 T-Jet has a maximum torque of 215 Nm (158 kW) from as low as 2,500 rpm and enables the 500L to top speed of 189 km/h, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.2 seconds. Equipped with it, the model delivers a combined consumption of 6.9 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 159 g/km.

Another highlight for the Beats Edition is that it can be equipped with Mopar parts for those willing to further personalize their vehicle. Among these accessories are the satin-finish moulding on the bonnet, the polycarbonate kick plate and the velvet mats with 500 logo. 2014 Fiat 500L Beats Editionspecial series goes on sale this week.
