The first generation Fiat Multipla was introduced in 1998. The new model went on sale from November 1998 in Italy and from the beginning of 1999 in other European markets.
It was meant to be an "an uncompromisingly practical car for everyday use", offering six seats and a big luggage compartment in about four metres of length.
The two conventional versions equipped with a petrol engine (1.6 Torque 16v) and a turbodiesel engine (1.9 JTD) are joined by two other Fiat Multipla versions, the methane-driven 'blupower' version and the 'bipower' version with a dual methane and petrol fuel system. These four vehicles were later joined by a Fiat Multipla with hybrid power unit: electric and petrol.
