With redesigned looks that include colour-coded wraparound bumpers, modish headlights and a smoother nose than its predecessors, the new Fiat Multipla is one of the most attractive family cars currently on the market. But although its styling has been enhanced, Fiat hasn’t compromised on the practicality of the new Multipla. The multi-purpose vehicle offers more space for passengers and luggage than its closest competitors – a feature that even seven-seat family cars fail to achieve.
Inside the roomy cabin, you’ll experience a world of comfort. For the driver, the instrumentation and dashboard leave all vital information and controls closer than an arm’s reach while the gear shifter is slightly raised to provide optimal legroom for the front passenger. Headrests, seat storage pockets, automatic air-conditioning and convenient cup holders make for ideal ride comfort in the Fiat Multipla and optional extras such as a sunroof and CD auto-changer music system can be installed to further customise your drive. The Multipla is the size of some new large hatchbacks and its raised platform offers excellent visibility when driving, making it a breeze to fit into small parking spaces.
Available in two distinct engine variants - the Fiat Multipla 1.6 and the Fiat Multipla 1.9 - this multi-purpose vehicle is powerful for its size and incredibly fuel-efficient. Driving and handling mimic that of a compact hatchback, meaning that you don’t feel the extra weight of the rear. The 1.6 petrol variant delivers 75kW of power at full speed and the Fiat Multipla 1.9 JTD diesel is able to perform at 84kW of power without causing any noise disruption in the cabin owing to its near-silent engine traits. While the common-rail turbo-diesel version offers slightly more power, both models are fine-tuned and matched with a five-speed transmission to provide optimum ride comfort on both gravel and tar roads, with significant pulling power that sets these MPVs apart from competitors.
The wide outer-structure of the Fiat Multipla provides the car with maximum support and is complemented by the McPherson-type suspension struts that are connected to offset coil springs and an anti-roll bar.
Of course, the Multipla primarily being a family car, safety features are emphasised. With high ratings in the Euro NCAP safety tests, the Fiat Multipla is equipped with the following safety features:
Front disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) – for increased and controlled stopping power.
Driver and passenger airbags – for maximum protection in the event of a collision.
Anti-dazzle rear-view mirror – for enhanced visibility.
Immobiliser and remote central locking – for increased security.
Rack and pinion type power-assisted steering – for responsive driving and steering.
Front and rear fog lamps – to guide you on the road when visibility is poor due to weather conditions.
ISOFIX child seat points – to securely fit child seats to vehicle seats.
Height-adjustable seat belts – for optimum comfort when the seatbelts are utilised.
