Fiat Marengo

Marengo is a model name that the Italian car maker Fiat gave to the van derivatives of its mid-size cars, beginning with the Fiat 131 Marengo in 1979 and continuing with the Regata, Tempra and Marea. The light commercial derivatives have only two seats and have only been equipped with diesel engines. The nameplate was retired in 2001, and the van version of the Fiat Stilo Multiwagon succeeded it. The first version, from 1979, was a three-door panel van based on the 2nd and 3rd series Fiat 131, with unique bodywork. The second generation was shown with the Regata Weekend and had blacked-out rear side windows and a single 65 PS, 1,929 cc diesel, with a cargo capacity of 430 kg. The third followed the Tempra SW in 1991, adding a turbodiesel and safety upgrades in April 1993, and the fourth was built on the Marea from 1997. Fiat traditionally names its commercial derivatives differently from the cars they are based on, as with the Fiorino and the Penny.
