Concept car that transforms from SUV to pickup is "a symbol of freedom" says Fiat CEO

Fiat's new Multiplay concept car can transform from an SUV into a pickup, with movable seats and a flexible interior designed to accommodate different uses, explains the brand's CEO Arnaud Belloni in this exclusive video interview produced by Dezeen.

"We are reinventing here the concept of family car," said Belloni, describing the vehicle, which was unveiled at the 2026 Paris Motor Show.

Measuring 4.45 metres long, Multiplay combines the passenger space of a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with the raised stance of an SUV and the open cargo area of a pickup.

A sliding rear section allows the vehicle to switch between configurations, changing its enclosed passenger compartment into an open load bed.

The concept takes inspiration from the original Fiat 600 Multipla, launched in 1956, which accommodated six people within a body measuring just 3.5 metres long.
