Fiat presents a refreshed range of the Fiat Stilo for the year 2006, which includes a revised version of the Multiwagon: the dynamic and tough-looking Uproad. This is now the third mild facelift for the mid-size Stilo range, which will be replaced next year.

Starting off another very important year for the Fiat brand which will see it expanding on the recent success of the Grande Punto and Croma model, Fiat now officially announce the 2006 edition Stilo which we exclusively revealed last month. This latest restyling will further improve and enhance the C-segment contender.

The midsized hatchback has been given a new 'face' and better quality interior, while Fiat will also offer limited edition Stilo Uproad with an improved 'tough' appearance. Most important visual aspects, like on the MY2006 hatchback  is the 'chrome Shadow' grille and unique new (17-inch on the Uproad) designed alloy wheels in order to integrate the Stilo firmly into Fiats new esthetical philosophy. This includes also colour finishes, new more stylish and durable materials for the interior, and several new optional equipment levels on different models in the range.

The Stilo Uproad is instantly recognisable by its tough black plastic bumpers, bulbous wheel arch covers, sill and door protection covers as well as aluminium protection plates under the front and rear of the car which curve up over the lower bumper edges.

The Stilo Uproad is instantly recognisable by its tough black plastic bumpers, bulbous wheel arch covers, sill and door protection covers as well as aluminium protection plates under the front and rear of the car which curve up over the lower bumper edges.


The Uproad is another fashionable 'off road' apparance car like the soon-to-be-introduced Panda Cross and the allnew Sedici 4x4. So there is plenty to choose from, for new customers, especially those heading heading this month to the Torino 2006 Winter Olympic Games.

The Uproad has real SUV characteristics such as its large alloys shod with rugged tyres, its integrated protection shields and the useful roof rails. This limited edition Multiwagon version, is now available in two colours; 'Sand' and 'Sophisticated Grey'. The interior is a truly luxurious one, with new colour treatments and a leather finish. This rock solid car will be on sale in two diesel engine versions; the 1.9-litre MultiJet with 120hp, and the powerful 1.9-litre MultiJet with 150hp.
