The Fiat Marea, launched in 1996, was a significant step forward for the Italian automaker, aiming to offer a larger, more refined, and technologically advanced car to compete in the burgeoning compact executive segment. The Marea, designed by I.DE.A Institute, shared its platform with the Lancia K, offering a spacious and comfortable interior, a range of powerful petrol and diesel engines, and a choice of sedan and estate body styles, marketed as the Marea Weekend. Key features included a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension, an advanced multi-function instrument cluster, and numerous safety features such as ABS and airbags. While not a commercial success, the Marea was praised for its smooth ride, capable handling, and overall comfort exceeding its price point. It offered a strong value proposition, particularly in the European market.

The Marea Weekend further cemented its practicality with its spacious cargo area and versatile load-carrying capabilities, making it a popular choice for families and those needing additional space. It featured a folding rear seat, which allowed for carrying bulky items with ease, and various storage compartments, ensuring ample space for organizing belongings. The Marea Weekend continued to prioritize comfort and refinement, offering a spacious interior with ample legroom for passengers in both the front and rear. With its sleek and modern design, the Marea Weekend stood apart from its rivals, offering a stylish and practical solution to the needs of a diverse range of drivers. Although production ended in 2003, the Fiat Marea and Marea Weekend continue to be respected for their reliable performance, comfortable interior, and distinct Italian styling.
