The Fiat Qubo is a small passenger body style vehicle of Fiat Fiat Fiorino produced by the Italian car manufacturer Fiat since 1977.Fiat launched their passenger carrying equivalent at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. It is branded as the Fiat Qubo. A derivative of the Fiorino (a small MPV), a passenger version of the Fiorino was unveiled in June 2008. This version is suitable for up to five people and can be equipped with different engines, including a 1.3 Multijet diesel (75 PS) or 1.4 litre petrol engine with 73 PS (54 kW; 72 hp). In some countries (such as Turkey), the passenger version Qubo was sold as the “Fiorino Panorama”.
The Fiat Qubo is a small MPV with a roomy interior and a very practical boot. If you’re searching for a bigger alternative to a small hatchback and don’t fancy an SUV, this funky-looking, boxy car could be the answer. The Fiat Qubo’s interior carries on the theme set out by its boxy exterior. The dashboard is pretty plain, save for a few silver plastic panels, but at least the knobs for the heating and the buttons for the stereo are easy to reach. If the Fiat Qubo will likely remind you of a small van with windows, that’ll be because it uses plenty of the same mechanical bits and bobs as the Italian firm’s smallest commercial vehicle.
The new Qubo is the same length, width and height as the model it replaces – as a result, buyers can still make full use of its ample 2,500-litre load bay by folding the rear seats flat. The front passenger seat can also be folded to allow items up to 2.5 metres in length to be carried with relative ease. The Qubo’s front and rear bumpers have been completely redesigned – a wide black grille and new fog lights help prevent the front from looking too van-like while the rear number plate is now more neatly integrated into the bumper. The Fiat badge on the rear door is mounted flush rather than within a large recessed circular panel.
