The 2002 Fiat Multipla (1st generation) is a unique and polarizing compact MPV that was produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1998 to 2010. The Multipla was designed to be a practical and spacious vehicle for families and commuters, boasting an unusual, boxy design that defied conventional automotive aesthetics. It featured an innovative layout with three rows of seats, accommodating up to six passengers, and a surprisingly generous cargo space for a vehicle of its size. The Multipla was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the 1.6-litre and 1.8-litre petrol units, and the 1.9-litre JTD diesel engine. These powertrains offered a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, making the Multipla a compelling option for those seeking practicality and value.

Despite its innovative design and practicality, the Multipla faced its fair share of criticism. Its unconventional styling proved divisive, with some finding it quirky and charming, while others found it downright ugly. Furthermore, the Multipla's high seating position and large windows led to concerns regarding its safety in potential rollovers. Despite these criticisms, the Multipla achieved a degree of cult status, particularly among owners who appreciated its space, practicality, and affordability. It became known for its reliability, offering a solid platform for those seeking a versatile and functional vehicle without breaking the bank. The 2002 model year saw the introduction of minor updates and refinements, including enhanced interior materials and subtle design tweaks, contributing to its enduring appeal even after its production ended in 2010.
