Fiat's classic retro-Italian design is obvious in every model of the 500L lineup, and each trim has its own unique features to highlight its characteristics, distinctly represented in the front and rear lower fascias. The Pop is the least striking of the lot and features bi-function halogen projector-beam headlights with integrated daytime running lights, and it rides atop humble 16-inch alloy wheels. Lower fascia fog lights and front and rear cosmetic fenders give the Trekking a more rugged aesthetic along with its prominent black wheel arch cladding which borders its 17-inch alloy wheels. The Urbana portrays a more contemporary look with its blacked-out exterior accents and wheels. Bright chrome exterior accents and 17-inch chrome painted alloy wheels give the range-topping Lounge a more elegant impression.The Urbana can only be had with a black roof while the rest of the trims can be had with either a black or a white roof but not in conjunction with the same body color. A contrasting grey roof is available to the Lounge as part of a package.
At an overall body length of 167-inches, or 168.3-inches on the Trekking, a total height of 66.1-inches, or 65.3-inches on the Pop, and a width of 70.2 inches, or 70.9-inches on the Trekking and Urbana. The Fiat 500L is one of the larger vehicles in the class, with a wheelbase of 102.8-inches and rides only 4.7 inches from the ground. For comparison, the Kia Soul spans a length of 165.2 inches, is 63 inches tall, and with a width of 70.9 inches, its wheelbase is 102.4 inches long and it rides a decent 6.7 inches from the ground. The 500L is also on the heavier side of the class, weighing in at 3,254 pounds; the Kia Soul, on the other hand, weighs in at a featherlight 2,804 lbs on the lower end of the spectrum.

There are eight cost-free base exterior paint colors available for the Pop including Black, Rosso, Grigio Scuro, Grigio Chiaro, Bronzo Metallizzato, Blu Denim, Blue Tornado and Bianco (white). Another two, exclusive exterior paint options are made available for the Trekking and Lounge, Verda Bosco Perla for both and Arancia Pastello for the former only though at the loss of Grigio Chiaro. There are only five colors available for the Urbana. Any of the color options suite the 500L's quirky demeanor, especially the brighter options. To befit each model's character, we'd hue the Pop in the Tornado Blue, the Trekking in the Verde Bosco Perla, the Urbana in Grigio Scuro, and the Lounge in the Black clear-coat.
