I just received my new Motor Trend, the new 2021 cars, SUV’s, Mini van, and truck issue. Looks like Fiat is dropping the 500L model, for sale here in NA. It not listed in the 2021 car models. The only Fiats left, are the 500X, and 124. The 124, is grouped with the Miata.

NOOOOO!!! Why FIAT why??? It's the most unique car in it's class. They need to give it another refresh, or even redesign the whole thing all together, but they have to keep the Italian charm and style, and keep the MPV practicality. The Volkwagen Golf Sportwagen, the KIA Soul, and the FIAT 5ooL are the only MPV style cars around now. The Golf is more mainstream of the 3, the Soul is more grown up now, so the 5ooL is really the only unique, charming, and fun little MPV around now, and it even has the best in class cargo volume. Even the brochure is unique.

In my September 2020 Car and Driver. There is small Article, about the decline of small compact cars, to small crossovers. 13 vehicles are mention in that crossover category. Except the 500X. It Wasn’t listed. It’s cousin, the Jeep Renegade was. Didnt see the Honda HRZ either. The vehicle listed went from price range, and horse power. The Kia Soul being the cheapest to purchase. To the Buick Encore, the highest priced small crossover.
Strange.....

I love my 500L. The only thing I would like to have on it that is not offered is AWD. I think it would make the vehicle a much more attractive option.

Sales for the 500L have been very low. Too unique.

I agree with you, texanbrit. Sales have been low. I don't think it was marketed well, and I think adding AWD as an option would have helped.
When the L was released, we had just bought new cars and were not in the market for anything. It was not until last year that I started actively looking for something that I even discovered that Fiat had anything except the 500 itself. Can't imagine how I missed basically everything about them unless there just was not much advertising at all.
The L works perfectly for my family of 4 plus our large breed dog.
yes, true, my Studio said the same , no more L models for 2021, it will be all Alfa Romeo and the 500X.
