The Fiat Marea is a vehicle made by the Italian auto firm Fiat. The Fiat Marea is available in two versions – as an estate vehicle and as a saloon. The Fiat Marea was first unveiled in the year 1996. Essentially, the Fiat Marea was a different body style of the two hatchback offerings of Fiat, the Fiat Bravo and the Fiat Brava.
The Fiat Marea was meant to serve as a replacement vehicle for the Fiat Tempra. In the year 2007, the Fiat Marea will be replaced by the Fiat Linea.
Originally, the Fiat Marea was produced in Italy at the Cassino and Mirofiori factories of Fiat. Later, the Fiat Marea also replaced the Tempra model in Brazil and Turkey.
The Fiat Marea’s production and sales ceased on the European continent in the year 2002, shortly after the Bravo and Brava models had been replaced with the Fiat Stilo. The Fiat Marea continues to be manufactured in both Turkey and Brazil for the local markets there. In the year 2001, the Brazilian version of the vehicle underwent a major facelift which saw the Fiat Marea emerge with new rear end with taillights that had been taken from the Lancia Lybra.
