 DIVERSE RANGE OF ENGINES AND GEARBOXES

New Fiat MultiplaThe New Multipla offers a diverse range of power units and gearboxes designed specially to suit the original model concept: a car that is easy to drive, comfortable, safe while in motion and easy on the environment.

In this sense, the choice offered by the three engines available on the new model is not so much between different levels of performance as between different fuel systems: petrol (1.6 16v), diesel (1.9 JTD), methane and petrol (Natural Power).

The New Multipla can be fitted with two types of gearbox: one for the 1.6 Torque and another for the 1.9 JTD. Both devices are remarkable for their silence and slickness and also for the ease of manoeuvring that is partly due to the special ergonomic development process applied to the gearlever.

In addition to the Natural Power version described previously, the New Multipla is available with a 1.6 Torque 16v engine developing 103 bhp.

The petrol power unit develops a maximum power of 76 kW (103 bhp) obtained at 5750 rpm and 14.8 kgm (144 Nm) of maximum torque developed at 4000 rpm. Some 85 per cent of this pulling power can be exploited through a broad speed range, from 2300 to 5800 rpm. The resulting performance levels may be summarised as 170 km/h of top speed in fifth gear and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.6 seconds. Fuel consumption is 8.6 l/100 km over a combined cycle.

Next up is the 115 bhp 1.9 JTD, a development of the tried and tested Fiat Auto Common Rail Turbo Diesel family. Certain refinements have been made to the original reliable, successful mechanical configuration to improve general engine behaviour and achieve high performance, low specific fuel consumption and even more effective emission control.

The power unit develops a maximum power of 85 kW (115 bhp) at 4000 rpm and offers a maximum torque of 205 Nm at 2000 rpm. The top speed achieved by the New Multipla is 176 km/h. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.2 seconds and consumes 6.4 l/100 km over a combined cycle.
