new models: Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon


Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon

>>> comfort & roominess

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.
