The Fiat Marea Weekend, a versatile station wagon launched in 1999, was Fiat's response to the growing demand for spacious and practical vehicles. This model, built upon the successful Marea platform, offered a compelling combination of Italian styling, comfortable interior, and a surprisingly spacious cargo area. The Weekend, unlike its sedan sibling, prioritized practicality, featuring a longer wheelbase and a significantly larger rear cargo area, making it ideal for families, weekend getaways, or hauling larger items. Its design, while retaining the familiar Fiat aesthetic, incorporated a more rugged appearance with contrasting black cladding on the bumpers and wheel arches, suggesting a more adventurous spirit.
Under the hood, the Marea Weekend offered a range of petrol and diesel engine options, providing a balance between performance and fuel efficiency. While initially offered with a 1.6-liter petrol engine, the lineup expanded to include more potent 1.8 and 2.0-liter petrol units along with the economical 1.9-liter JTD diesel engine. The Marea Weekend's suspension provided a comfortable ride, while its handling, though not sporty, was capable and predictable. The vehicle's interior offered a pleasant and practical environment, with comfortable seating for five and a well-designed dashboard. The Weekend also featured a number of standard amenities, including air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. The Marea Weekend continued in production until 2007, solidifying its place as a successful model for Fiat and a popular choice for drivers seeking a spacious and reliable family wagon.
