Priced from $37,065 for the SV trim to $45,065 for the Platinum, the initial SR trim is available now, with other trims arriving in January 2027.

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.

McLaren to Retire Artura by 2028 as SUV and P34 Launches Reshape Lineup

McLaren is reportedly planning to discontinue the Artura hybrid supercar in 2028, six years after its delayed launch. The move coincides with the introduction of a new hybrid coupe, codenamed P34, and the brand’s first SUV, aimed at expanding sales beyond traditional supercar buyers. The Financial Times and The Guardian report that this strategic shift is part of a £500m investment plan by Abu Dhabi owner L’Imad to end years of losses and create 1,000 UK jobs. While the Artura suffered from quality issues and production halts in 2022, the new lineup aims to capture market share from rivals like Ferrari and Lamborghini. McLaren has not officially confirmed the Artura’s retirement, but the timing suggests a deliberate reshuffling of its product range under CEO Nick Collins.
