The Sedici marked FIAT‘s debut into the new Sport Utility Vehicle segment as a result of a technical partnership with Suzuki that would also give rise to its twin sister, the SX-4.
Although their mechanical configuration was identical, these two cars differed in their exterior design.
The Sedici was characterised by the style of its dynamic, sturdy lines, well-suited to a SUV, combined with the handling and drivability typical of a FIAT.
