Fiat Multipla dimensions

The first generation Fiat Multipla model was one of the oddest-looking vehicles to hit British shores in the past ten years. But the new Fiat Multipla has played it secure losing some of its distinctiveness. It retains the height of an MPV, but has a front alike to the discontinued Fiat Stilo hatchback. The back is flat, making it good for reverse parking, while the 15-inch alloys we had on our model added a little bit of sexiness. The functional Fiat Multipla could do with some of the style injected into the funky 500, Grande Punto and Bravo models.

At four metres long, the Fiat Multipla is shorter than a Ford Focus and is only 20cm wider yet it can comfortably bench six. The boot offers 430-litres of luggage room which increases to 1900-litres, with the back seatings folded. Only using four seats? The middle bench can be folded to offer a seat for using as a picnic table. The middle front bench can be replaced with an 18-litre refrigerated / heated cargo compartment which turns the vehicle into a five seater. due to the upright back layout and light steering, the Fiat Multipla is remarkably simple to park.

It's not an overly well specced vehicle and is available in three versions Dynamic Family, Dynamic Plus and Eleganza. All models get remote central locking, electric front windows, CD player and immobiliser. Our top spec Eleganza model added 15-inch alloys and reverse parking sensors.
