Available as both a saloon and an estate, the Fiat Marea is a family car produced by the Italian manufacturer that has many of the hallmarks of the popular Fiat Brava/Bravo range. Essentially, the Fiat Marea applied a different body type to the Bravo/Brava when launched in 1996 but replaced the Fiat Tempra. Most of its early production came directly from two Fiat plants in Italy and a larger version of the model was produced known as the Fiat Marea Weekend. Production of the Fiat Marea was effectively ceased in 2002 when the Marea Weekend was replaced by the Stilo MultiWagon though the Fiat Marea is still produced in some markets.
