The 600 is considered a pop icon of the Italian economic miracle, and the three-row Multipla, although small and strange-looking, is considered one of the first mass-produced minivans.

The suspension consisted of a single double-mounted leaf spring - acting as a stabilizer - between the front wheels, linked to gas-charged shock absorbers, and an independent coil-over-shock absorber arrangement linked to semi-trailing arms at the rear. All 600 models had 3-synchro (no synchro on the 1st) 4-speed gearbox. Unlike the Volkswagen Beetle or Fiat 500, the Fiat 600 is water-cooled with ample cabin heating and while cooling is generally adequate, high-output modified versions require a front-mounted radiator or oil cooler to supplement the rear mounted radiators. radiator.
