25.01.2003 NEXT GENERATION MULTIPLA HAS LOOKS TONED DOWN
| The Fiat Multipla, praised
continually by motoring journalists but never accepted by car buyers, will
have its outrageous looks toned down when a revised version goes on sale
in late 2004. Out goes the controversial stepped scuttle panel which houses
the foglamps on the current version, while the round headlamps are ditched
in favour of conventional units. A distinct swage down the side, drawn
from the Stilo, aims to give the new Multipla a more solid appearance.
The back side doors, modelled on the Ulysse MPV, will slide rearwards to facilitate easier access, while the rear upward-opening door will also be revised. Inside Fiat will use their field leading knowledge in maximising interior adding the Stilo's ideas to the Multipla. The original 3-in-a-row seating plan will be retained, along with the high sides and large glass window area. A wider range of engines will be added, as well as a Selespeed option. |
