This compact Italian people mover was introduced in 2012 as a larger, more practical companion to the brand’s retro-styled small car family. Built in Serbia and aimed at buyers who wanted more space without stepping up to a traditional minivan, it mixed a tall-roof MPV layout with the styling cues of the company’s modern small-car design language. The original version went on sale in Europe later in 2012, and the line quickly expanded to include more lifestyle-oriented variants such as the rugged-looking Trekking and the longer-bodied MPW/Living derivatives.
A major refresh arrived in 2017, which updated the exterior, interior and equipment while keeping the same basic concept. Through its life, the vehicle was positioned as a versatile family car with an emphasis on flexible cabin packaging, ease of use and a distinctive image rather than outright performance. It became especially notable in European markets, where it found a niche among buyers who wanted something more characterful than a conventional hatchback but smaller and more affordable than a full-size MPV.
Production is documented as spanning model years 2012 through 2021, with no evidence of a separate revival period. The nameplate therefore belongs to a single continuous production run that ended after the 2021 model year.
