What Happened
Fiat has presented Multiplay at the Paris Motor Show, describing it not just as a concept car but as a new concept of mobility that is flexible, accessible and radically useful. The company says the innovation lies in reimagining space, freedom and shared everyday life, the Fiat way. The brand, which says it remains young after 127 years, frames Multiplay as its latest move to challenge conventions and turn bold ideas into simple, intelligent mobility for everyone.
127years
Fiat says that after 127 years it is still challenging conventions.
The 600 Multipla carried six people in a body just 3.5 meters long.
The first-generation Multipla offered six seats on two rows in a body under 4 meters long.

Multiplay combines the open load space and outdoor versatility of a pick-up with the comfort and flexibility of an SUV. An ingenious mechanism enables the vehicle to switch from one configuration to the other in just a few movements. Fiat says the concept could create an entirely new category by responding to the way people live today, as the boundaries between family life, leisure, work and adventure become increasingly fluid.

Why this matters
The concept shows how Fiat, after 127 years, wants to keep its family offering relevant to buyers whose family life, leisure, work and adventure increasingly overlap. Fiat says Multiplay will also inspire future products meant to complete its affordable family transportation range, so it signals what shoppers could see next. The Paris show is also where the Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback make their official debut.
