What Happened
At the Paris Motor Show, Fiat will bring to life a contemporary Italian "Piazza": an open, colorful and welcoming place that expresses the brand's most authentic spirit. More than a stand, it will be a vibrant meeting point where products, people and stories come together. Fiat says the space is built on the values that have always defined it: accessibility, simplicity, optimism and unmistakable Italian character.
In Italy, the Piazza is where life happens, people meet, ideas circulate and conversations begin. Fiat says it will translate that spirit into a human and social vision of mobility — rooted in real life and designed to feel familiar, inclusive and joyful. The setting also marks a key milestone: the start of a new Fiat chapter.
- Icons that confirm Fiat's leadership in the A segment and in micro and urban mobility
- Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback, making their first public debut and opening a broader role for the brand in accessible family transportation
- Two additional concepts, which together with the Grizzlys shape a journey through Fiat's present and future

The brand says its new story is ready to come to life in Paris starting this date.
In Paris, Fiat will bring together a complete and coherent product ecosystem that projects its vision for the future of everyday mobility. The stand is meant to make that journey clear and consistent in its values, and ready to answer the evolving needs of people, families and communities.
Previously from Fiat
The "new chapter" Fiat is opening in Paris follows a recent change at the top: Stellantis named Arnaud Belloni CEO of FIAT, Abarth and Lancia, effective September 1, 2026. It also comes after FIAT reported 21.7% growth in European registrations for the first half of 2026, lifting its market share to 3.3%.

Why this matters
Fiat is positioning itself around everyday, accessible mobility, from the small A-segment and micro and urban vehicles it says it leads to family transport with the new Grizzly models. The Paris stand is the public start of what Fiat calls a new chapter, so it previews what buyers, families and communities can expect from the brand next.
