The attributes of a successful
car can be fully appreciated only during daily use of the car, when a need
arises and you discover to your delight that someone has already thought
of an answer to your problem - whether small or large. This is even more
true of the Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon, because the new model:
- is a practical car that
offers a high-tech or simply ingenious solution to a thousand travelling
needs in every situation. These include a fold-away table for rear passengers,
a heated/refrigerated glove box on air conditioned cars and a child seat
built into the rear seat. Not to mention the large amount of room on offer
in the luggage compartment and the low load threshold. Both these features
are evidence of the wanderlust that drives any station wagon;
- the car is reconfigurable,
i.e. it can be adapted to each individual customer in terms of size, driving
position and ability to adjust the mirrors at the press of a key. It can
also be adapted to habits and current needs because the doors can be opened
and closed in different ways, because different functions can be activated
and because of the flexibility of the interior space and rear seats.
The Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon's
new-concept offers a level of flexibility and modularity unprecedented
for the segment that is truly inspired by its MPV soul.
The two rear seats slide
forward and backward through an impressive 160 mm, recline and fold down
independently. This makes the luggage compartment hugely versatile because
it can offer a different load capacity and even a different shape as and
when required. The rear of the passenger compartment can be adapted to
alter leg-room and backrest position for maximum occupant comfort. Other
assets include a ski tunnel, various closed storage compartments and a
front seat that folds down to form a table to accommodate long loads or
act as a work surface. The term 'next generation interior' very aptly describes
the brand new way the passenger compartment is outfitted and the way the
best possible use is made of all the available passenger and luggage room.
A simple description of the passenger compartment cannot fully convey,
however, exactly how much this car will benefit customers day-to-day.
We have all had to carry
very long items that are not particularly heavy. And we can all remember
how much time we wasted trying (with little success) to load them into
our car. With the Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon, all you have to do is fold down
one of the back seats and the front seat and the problem is solved. Items
can be stowed away safely in a few minutes while leaving plenty of room
for the driver and passengers.
How many times have you said
that the ideal solution would be to have two cars: one for everyday use
and the other for long trips when the family is all together and suddenly
there is luggage all over the place. Well, the Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon is
two cars in one. Part station wagon and part multipurpose vehicle. When
the back seats are pushed right back, the resulting luggage compartment
is one of the roomiest in its category. If you want, all you have to do
is push the seats forward and the amount of space available for bags and
luggage beats everything else in the segment. When you return to normal,
all you have to do is move the rear seats fully back and recline the backrest
and you can accommodate four in the greatest comfort. You will be able
to stretch out as though you were in a top category car and enjoy the same
standard of creature comforts: armrest, glass-holder and holders for wallets,
mobile phones or spectacles.
An airline-type folding table
pulls down from the front seat squab so that children can draw or adult
passengers can write or work on a laptop.
If you want to relax, all
you have to do is sit back, recline your backrest and fold the front seat
down to stretch out and relax as though you were on a chaise lounge.
These Next Generation Interior
features are complemented by oceans of room in the passenger compartment
for stowing everything you need to take with you. Not one but two roomy
closed compartments on the facia (the lower one is cooled on cars with
air conditioners). Front and rear armrests with interior compartments,
a roomy container under both front seats, generous pouches, two bottle
holders and five glass holders. The Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon luggage compartment
is also one of the roomiest in its market band: up to 550 litres when the
rear seats are moved forward. Even in this position, the rear seats can
still accommodate three people. This regular, easily accessible compartment
is shaped to accommodate the whole family's suitcases and bags with rational
ease. |
