Fiat 500L Centre Console Replacement Parts

Yes, the Fiat 500L does have a centre console between the front seats, housing storage, the gear selector area, and sometimes USB or auxiliary ports depending on trim. It is a genuine interior component fitted across the range, so used examples are available from breakers. The exact style and features of the console can vary between trim levels, so it is worth checking the specifics against your own car.

The Fiat 500L ran in its first generation from 2012 through to around 2017, when a facelift was introduced for the 2017 model year, bringing interior and exterior updates. A console from a pre-facelift car (2012–2016) may not align correctly with the revised interior of a post-facelift car (2017 onwards), as trim panel fits and storage arrangements can differ across that boundary. We would strongly recommend confirming with the breaker whether the specific part from their vehicle matches your exact registration before purchasing.

The Fiat 500L was sold in the UK in trims including Pop Star, Lounge, and Urban, and the centre console can vary between these in terms of finish, storage features, and the presence of features like a sliding tray or armrest. If your replacement console looks visually different to your original, it may simply be a trim-level cosmetic difference rather than a fitment problem. The underlying fixings and location are generally consistent across the range within a generation, but do describe your current console to the breaker so they can match it as closely as possible.

No, the engine or gearbox fitted to your Fiat 500L does not affect which centre console you need, as this is a purely interior part with no connection to the drivetrain. You can focus your search on matching the generation and trim level rather than worrying about petrol, diesel, or automatic variants. This makes finding a suitable used part from a breaker relatively straightforward.

Fitting a replacement centre console is generally a DIY-friendly job involving removing trim clips, disconnecting any wiring for USB ports or heated seat switches, and refitting in reverse. However, if your console area has any wiring associated with airbag systems, you should have that work checked or carried out by a professional, as airbags are safety-critical and single-use once deployed. For a straightforward swap with no airbag involvement, most reasonably confident home mechanics manage it without specialist tools.

The facelifted Fiat 500L arrived for the 2017 model year, so a 2018 car sits in the post-facelift generation while a 2015 car is pre-facelift – these are different interior generations and the console may not be a direct match. Parts from within the same generation (pre-facelift 2012–2016, or post-facelift 2017 onwards) are more likely to be compatible with each other. Because fitment across that facelift boundary is uncertain, please confirm directly with the breaker using your registration before going ahead.
