QUBO is the name of the new Fiat passenger car built around the new Fiorino van introduced some weeks ago.

The name Qubo plays on the idea of “cube”, and changing the C of cube to Q Fiat tells us that this vehicle is no ordinary cube, but rather a cube with a twist.

Fiat claims that the Qubo goes well beyond the concept of the MPV to venture as a pioneer into the concept of a “free space” vehicle, capable of satisfying a variety of driving needs.

This functional yet stylish car comes with two sliding rear side doors and a flexible interior capable of offering up to sixteen different solutions.

The front passenger seat that can be folded into a table and then flush with the boot level, making it possible to load objects measuring nearly 2.5 metres (a true record for a vehicle that measure only 3.9 metres).

Fiat claims that this MPV is as easy to handle as a city car. Pricing will be competitive, according to Fiat, compared with other compact MPV’s.

The new Qubo comes with Fiat’s 1.3 litre Multijet diesel engine. It will be available with Fiat’s robotized "Dual Logic” six-speed transmission, which gives reduced running costs. The service interval on the car is 30,000 km.

Fiat claim that the Qubo is as green as it can be All in all, with a low CO2 emissions rating of just 119 g/km. The engine is available with an optional particulate filter.

And the Qubo also offers an integrated Blue&Me communications system with hands free, vocal and steering wheel commands, on-board text messaging, and a USB port.

The car will be available in Ireland from next month and prices will be announced close to the launch date.
