Fiat Revives Spirit of the Multipla with New Transforming Model

The concept combines a minivan, SUV and pickup with configurable seating, a sliding rear roof module and pet-friendly features for families and outdoor users.

  • Fiat unveiled the Multiplay concept at the Paris Motor Show, reimagining the polarizing Multipla as a futuristic 3-in-1 vehicle that functions as minivan, SUV, and pickup truck.
  • Measuring 4.45 meters in length, the Multiplay extends nearly one meter longer than the original Multipla from 1956, which earned a reputation as the ugliest car in the world.
  • Innovative C-pillar architecture called Metamorfosi features a mobile, electrically adjustable rear roof module that slides forward at the push of a button, converting the cabin into an open bed.
  • Configured for a 6+1 seating layout, the cabin includes the Sunseat chaise longue beneath a panoramic roof and The Petsenger, a modular seat designed to safely accommodate the family dog.
  • Fiat has not released powertrain or battery capacity data for the concept vehicle, which the firm notes represents a laboratory of ideas since ending Multipla production in February 2010.
