Sometimes they come back. Or at least it could Fiat Multipla, a beloved and hated family minivan that has made the fortunes of the Lingotto for years and has represented a valid and versatile choice for thousands of Italian families. The Turin-based brand is working on expanding its range, with several innovations in the pipeline, starting with a new generation of Pandas that could also be electric and the possible return of Punto. Bringing back names linked to the brand’s past to the road is a strategy that Fiat would seem to be willing to pursue, as also feared by Olivier François, CEO of the Stellantis brand.
Among the great returns could therefore be the Multipla. The French press supports it with conviction, confident that the Turin car manufacturer is willing to bring its model back to the road or at least dust off its name to tie it to a car that does not necessarily have to share the vocation and shapes of the car it is with. born. According to colleagues from across the Alps, the return of the Fiat Multipla could even materialize by 2024, tying its destiny to the new Panda range: it would in fact be a fully electric SUVthus using a historical name that would allow at the same time to differentiate the offer and to maintain that family feeling that would thus act as a bridge between the past and the future.
Fiat Multipla was one of the most talked about cars of recent years. Its shapes and design had to respond to very specific needs and so Roberto Giolito, now number one of FCA Heritage, gave life to a car with a vertical development capable of accommodating 6 people comfortably, while not having the captivating look of other models. . In Europe there were about 330 thousand specimens, from the first series of 1998 to the last specimens marketed. Who knows if we will really see it again on the road, in the meantime we can enjoy a first reinterpretation in this rendering by SRK Design. More information on the possible return of the Fiat Multipla will be available in March, when Stellantis will unveil the industrial plans.
