The Fiat Marea, launched in 1998, was a compact family car developed and manufactured by Italian automaker Fiat. It was the successor to the Fiat Tipo, aiming to offer a more modern and refined experience in the competitive European market. The Marea was available as a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door saloon, with a range of petrol and diesel engines to choose from. It was designed with a focus on spaciousness and practicality, featuring a roomy interior with generous legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The Marea's design was characterized by its smooth, rounded lines, incorporating elements of aerodynamic efficiency to enhance fuel economy.
Underneath the sleek exterior, the Marea boasted a range of innovative features for its time. These included a multi-link rear suspension for improved handling and ride comfort, a powerful braking system with ABS and electronic brake force distribution, and an optional traction control system. The Marea also offered a selection of interior trim levels, allowing customers to personalize their vehicles with different upholstery, dashboard materials, and equipment packages. While the Marea received mixed reception from critics, particularly regarding its handling and engine performance, it found success in several European markets, particularly in Italy and Spain. However, its lack of significant technological advancements and the introduction of newer, more modern competitors led to its discontinuation in 2002, paving the way for the Fiat Stilo to inherit the mantle of Fiat's compact family car offering.
