Fiat's stand at the Bologna Motor Show featured the new 'off road' Stilo Multi Wagon Uproad, which debuted in Paris during the autumn.

The new version was designed and created for people who wish to stand out in a crowd and enjoy their free time; people who love nature and wish to satisfy their taste for adventure and challenge.

The new vehicle shown, will be available from next year and with two power units (115 bhp 1.9 JTD and 140 bhp 1.9 Multijet) is identifiable from the exterior by its 17" alloy wheels and above all for its black side strips and reinforced bumpers that offset the two stylish metallic body shades.

The impression is that of a solid, sturdy model of substance that is ready to inspire thousands of aficionados with its free spirit. Inside, the Stilo Multi Wagon 'Uproad' offers new facia and fabric trim colours.

In Bologna, Fiat also introduced a new version of the Stilo M.Y. 04; more evidence of its tireless commitment to giving motorists what they want. This commitment has delivered a model packed with new style and features that is as 'full of life' as its advertising slogan promises.

The same slogan also neatly encapsulates the spirit that typifies the entire Stilo family (3- or 5-door saloon and Multi Wagon) and describes the dynamic, forward-looking way many customers use their car to enjoy their leisure or working time. All model versions boast extraordinary attributes of practicality and versatility that satisfy the will to travel in absolute freedom.
