The Multipla was only awarded a three-star rating for adult safety in the Euro NCAP crash tests. This is well below more modern people carriers like the Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Zafira which both achieved the maximum five stars. Twin front airbags and ABS are standard and every passenger gets a three-point seatbelt.

The Multipla will swallow 430 litres of luggage up to window height, even with all six seats occupied. Removing the second row of seats expands luggage capacity to an enormous 1900 litres. There are also various useful storage compartments in the cabin, and despite being wide, the Multipla is relatively short, making parking relatively easy. However unlike the Fiat Doblo, it’s not available with seven seats and doesn’t come with sliding doors.
