Multipla details

The class-leading Multipla has reinvented the MPV with its brilliant and totally unique six-seater design. It rips up the family rulebook and is extremely well equipped. There is also plenty of luggage space, providing a functional and versatile car for family

motoring. Voted "Top Gear Car of the Year" for 2000 and "Top Gear Family Car of the Year" in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

Intelligent Solutions

3 Behind, 3 In Front
The flexibility of the new Multipla’s ground breaking, three-abreast seating configuration not only allows for extensive adjustment of the front seats and the removal and relocation of the rear seats into numerous practical formats, but also affords a class-leading 430 litres of luggage space – increasing to a cavernous 1900 litres of flat-floor loadspace with the rear three seats removed from the vehicle.

Fridge/heated compartment
Although referred to as a fridge, this unit can actually keep its contents warm as well as cold – according to the driver’s wishes. It is divided into two compartments with a total capacity of 18 litres, and can easily accommodate three 1.5 litre drink bottles.

Bluetooth connectivity
The new Multipla marks the debut of hands-free, Bluetooth technology in the Fiat model range, to ensure maximum driving safety under all conditions. The system, available from 2005, allows the use of up to three Bluetooth mobile phones on board, even when stowed in storage compartments, jackets or handbags.

Design

Fiat Multipla: The soft lines and unique design result in an immediately recognisable car with true character.

External
A brand new front end featuring large, jewel-bright headlamps, an understated, chrome highlighted grille and a deep, purposeful air dam beneath an integral, colour coded bumper reinforces the new Multipla’s exceptionally wide stance (1870 mm) and makes the new car instantly recognisable as the latest addition to the Fiat family. The new Fiat Multipla is available in a choice of nine exterior colours, including three new shades: Batik Orange, Crystal Green and Lagoon Blue.

Internal
With two passengers seated next to the driver, the radical design approach required to ensure safe, comfortable and easy access to the controls and instruments results in one of the most striking and ergonomically efficient dashboard layouts to be found in any car with numerous cubby holes and storage compartments.
