What is the Fiat Multipla?
The Fiat Multipla was a compact people carrier with six individual seats in two rows, three across the front and three across the rear. Its wide, upright shape made room for that unusual layout.
The six-seat cabin was the Multipla’s defining feature. It gave the car a practical role for families and for anyone who regularly travelled with several passengers.
Generation and design
The Multipla, code 186, ran from 1998 to 2010. A facelift gave the later model a more conventional front end while keeping its six-seat layout.
