The FIAT Marea is a compact car that was manufactured by the Italian automaker FIAT from 1996 to 2002. It replaced the FIAT Tipo in the company's lineup and was available in various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, a four-door saloon, and a five-door estate. The Marea was designed to be a spacious and comfortable car, offering a generous amount of passenger and cargo space for its class. It was also known for its sturdy construction and reliable performance. The Marea was powered by a range of gasoline and diesel engines, ranging from 1.4-liter to 2.0-liter in displacement. These engines were paired with manual or automatic transmissions, providing a range of power outputs and fuel efficiency options. The car was equipped with a front-wheel-drive system, offering good handling and traction on various road surfaces. The Marea was praised for its comfortable ride and good handling, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike. However, the Marea's design didn't quite match the trend toward more modern styling of the late 1990s and early 2000s, leading to sales declining over its production lifespan. Its replacement, the FIAT Stilo, was a more modern design with a more rounded appearance.
