Though the Fiat Stilo itself earned mixed reviews, the Fiat Stilo MultiWagon was widely acclaimed as a hybrid between the estate and MPV body styles with plenty of room and good safety levels making it ideal for all the family. The Fiat Stilo MultiWagon was seen as a replacement to the Fiat Marea Weekend when it was introduced in 2002 with a simpler line-up of engines to choose from than the hatchback version. Among its features, the Fiat Stilo MultiWagon has space for five adults with picnic tables in the back of the seats on some models, indicating the family friendly flavour.
