Fiat Unveils Multiplay Concept: A Transforming SUV-Pickup Hybrid

Fiat has revealed the Multiplay concept at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, a vehicle designed to merge the space of an MPV, the character of an SUV, and the utility of a pickup. The 4.45-meter vehicle features a 'Metamorfosi' architecture that allows the rear section to slide forward, transforming the car from a six-plus-one family hauler into a four-seat pickup with an open cargo bed. While the concept includes quirky features like a 'Petsenger seat' and a rotating spoiler that doubles as a bike rack, Fiat states it is a laboratory for future ideas rather than a preview of a specific production model. The design pays homage to the historic Multipla by maximizing interior utility within a compact footprint, though no powertrain details have been released.
