Fiat Professional reveals updated Doblo range

However the new model now comes with the option of seating for three and load volumes of up to 5m3. Both the 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre diesel engines have been tuned for improved torque delivery, with more torque available at lower rpm. The 90hp 1.3-litre engine and the 1.6-litre Multijet II can now also be had in Ecojet versions, with Start&Stop, low rolling resistance tyres , low viscocity oils, a smart alternator and a variable displacement oil pump. This combined pack results in emissions as low as 115g/km and fuel consumption of up to 64mpg.

The vans come with ESC stability control, complete with ASR anti-slip regulation, hydraulic brake assist and Hill Hold systems.

Following the launch of new Ducato this year, the arrival of Doblo at the start of 2015, Fiat Professional says that it will overhaul its entire range in the next two years, with both Scudo and Fiorino set for updates by 2016.
