Fiat Multiplay Concept Slides Between MPV, SUV and Dual‑Cab Pickup

Fiat says the Multiplay is a laboratory of packaging ideas meant to show how one car could do many family and outdoor jobs rather than a direct preview of a production model.

Overview

  • The Multiplay uses a movable rear module called “Metamorfosi” that slides the roof and third row forward to convert a six‑seat family layout into a four‑seat dual‑cab pickup with an open cargo bed.
  • In family mode the concept offers a 6+1 cabin that includes a flexible ‘Petsenger’ seat designed for pets, child‑seat mounting or extra storage.
  • The pickup configuration adds practical cargo features such as a split tailgate, retractable bed cover, modular floor anchors, and a rotating rear spoiler that doubles as a two‑bike rack.
  • Fiat unveiled the Multiplay at Stellantis’ ‘Night of Stars’ and put it on public display at the Paris Motor Show from October 12, and the company stresses the car is an ideas laboratory not a confirmed production model.
  • Fiat ties the Multiplay to its Multipla heritage and to wider industry interest in modular, space‑efficient EV packaging, but the company has not disclosed underpinnings or a powertrain though journalists note the short front overhang makes an EV layout likely.
