While U.S. customers will have to wait for the arrival of the Fiat 500L, European buyers now have two new engines to choose from. They can have a 0.9L (?!) TwinAir turbo from the 500 and a MultiJet II turbo-diesel four-cylinder. The 0.9L engine makes 105HP and 107 ft-lb of torque. With a six-speed manual, that engine will propel the 500L from 0-60 in 12.3 seconds and on to 112 mph. The 1.6L diesel also makes 105HP, however it has 236 ft-lb of torque, nearly twice that of the 0.9L petrol. If you mate the diesel to a six-speed manual, the car goes from 0-60 in 11.3 seconds and on to 112mph. It does get 52.2MPG compared to the petrol's 49. These new engines will be available next month.
