The Fiat Idea, produced from 2003 to 2008, was a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that aimed to bridge the gap between a traditional hatchback and a larger, more spacious minivan. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Idea's distinctive features included its tall, boxy body, large windows offering excellent visibility, and a versatile interior. This unique combination aimed to provide practicality and functionality without sacrificing style. The Idea was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 70 hp to 103 hp. The engine options included a 1.2 liter petrol, 1.4 liter petrol, and a 1.3 liter Multijet diesel. The model was available in both 3-door and 5-door configurations, catering to various needs and preferences.

The Fiat Idea's interior was designed with practicality in mind. It featured a spacious cabin with ample headroom and legroom, even in the rear. The rear seats offered a 60/40 split configuration, allowing you to increase cargo space as needed. Versatility was enhanced by the sliding rear seats, which could be adjusted forward or backward to optimize legroom or cargo capacity. The dashboard was functional and user-friendly, with clear instrumentation and easy-to-access controls. The Idea's overall design aimed to provide a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience, incorporating features like a roomy cabin, plenty of storage compartments, and a range of available options, such as air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player.
