WELCOME ABOARD Fiat Ulysse

Fiat Ulysse is a compact saloon with an original bodyline, designed to offer great driving satisfaction, ensure safe-
ty and be as friendly as possible to the environment.
Everything, from its new engines to its safety devices, from its improved comfort for driver and passengers alike
to its practical solutions, contributes to make you appreciate your Fiat Ulysse’s personality.
And you will realise it later when you discover that its driving style and performance goes hand in hand with
new manufacturing processes that help cut running costs.
The Fiat Ulysse, for example, no longer needs to be taken in for its first servicing after the traditional 1,500 km...
but after 30,000 km.

anywhere else, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.

the different areas:
