Fiat fans have been warned to get ready for the Fiat Qubo, which will be available to buy later in January.

The first thing that prospective buyers might want to know is why the name? Well apparently it’s a play on the word ‘cube’ and is meant to suggest that the car has "far more to it than meets the eye".

At first glance it bears more than a passing resemblance to the car it was modelled on, the Grande Punto, a vehicle which is a popular choice of used Fiat model.

Electric front windows, power steering and a fully-adjustable steering wheel come as standard features, as does a Blue&Me hands-free communication system.

Higher up the range, the Dynamic model offers air conditioning, heated electric door mirrors, anodised aluminium interior door handles, height-adjustable driver’s seat and 16-inch alloy wheels instead of the regular 15-inch items.

Funky green and fiery orange are two of the nine vibrant colours the car is available in, with prices ranging from £9,750 to £12,350.
