TheLancia Musa (Type 350) is a five-passengercompact MPV manufactured byFiat, and marketed by the company'sLancia subdivision for model years 2004 through to 2012. A front-engine, front-wheel-drive, five-door design and a modified variant of theFiat Idea, the Musa also employs theProject 188 platform, originally used for thesecond generation Fiat Punto. Total Musa production was about 237,500.[4]

The Musa design, an adaption of theFiat Idea byFabrizio Giugiaro, was initially supervised byFlavio Manzoni and subsequentlyMarco Tencone. It debuted at the2004 Geneva Motor Show and deliveries began in Europe in October of the same year. The Musa's front and rear-end styling bears resemblance to the technically relatedLancia Ypsilon, with which it shares headlights.[5] As a compact MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), the Musa is considered to form part of theB-segment of the European car market.[2]
The interior featuresAlcantara or leather, as well as chrome details. Like the Fiat Idea, the Musa offers anautomated manual transmission marketed asDolce Far Niente (D.F.N.) — for all engines except the eight valve version of the 1.4FIRE.[6]
A revised, mildly facelifted Musa premiered at the 2007Venice Film Festival, and debuted at Frankfurt Auto Show in October 2007, with a revised logo of Lancia, front bumper fascia with new chrome moldings, bodyside moldings with chrome inserts, LED rear lamps and a luggage compartment seventy litres larger, while and loading deck lowered by 4cm, as well as revised headliner soundproofing in the headliner.
