Fiat at Paris Motor Show 2026: Grizzly Brings the Italian Brand Back to Family Cars

Fiat unveiled the Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, marking its return to the large family car segment with a targeted starting price of around 20,000 euros. Both models measure under 4.5 meters in length and offer a total interior space of 3.5 cubic meters, while boot capacity reaches 545 liters in the Grizzly and 608 liters in the Fastback. The numbers speak for themselves.

Fiat sales growth propels it into Europe's top five brands

Since 2021, Fiat has led Stellantis group brands in sales volume, having already surpassed the one million global sales mark in 2026. In Europe, the brand achieved 20% growth compared to last year, with sales up 19% in Italy and 33% in France since the start of the year. Fiat climbed eight positions to enter the top five best-selling brands in the European market. That momentum sets the stage for the Grizzly launch.

A lineup spanning urban mobility to family hauling

Fiat's range covers a wide spectrum of mobility, from small urban vehicles to city cars and compact models, all the way to family cars. The brand is also exploring the future of mobility with two concept cars, Multiplina and MULTIPLAY. Multiplina reimagines interior space utilization to suit changing daily needs, potentially creating a new segment in the European market. MULTIPLAY, meanwhile, blends the spaciousness of an MPV, the character of an SUV. The versatility of a pickup to explore how one car can serve multiple roles. Is this the future of family transport?
