Fiat 500 MPV by David Obendorfer is remarkably practical

David Obendorfer an industrial designer recently came up with graphical sketches of a Fiat 500 MPV. According to David, the Fiat 500 MPV is based on Fiat’s Panda platform (like the 500) but with more space and two extra doors.

David was interest to play around with the Fiat 500 and to come up with other possibilities as he himself is a Fiat 500 owner and wanted to see how the car would look in other forms.

David wanted to transform the 500 into an actual family hatch and thus his design is a larger 5 door car. It stays true to its original roots and from a few angles one cannot find severe disparities between the 3 and 5 door models.

Defeats the purpose of a 500. Dont dilute the model Fiat.

Exactly, if you want style you have to give up practicality for the most part. Mini has faced this with the Clubman and Countryman, it's tough to keep the cute styling of the original 3 door on bigger models.

It looks like a Scion xD, but better. If it had an engine with some guts, I might check it out.
