Fiat Professional
is giving the Doblo compact van a new entry-level engine for the 2020 model
year in the UK. The Doblo can now be ordered with a new 1.3-liter MultiJet
turbo diesel rated at 80 PS. It’s a de-tuned version of the existing
1.3 MultiJet 95 PS, which is still availale. The range also includes
the 1.6 MultiJet diesel available in two states of tune, with 105 PS and 120 PS respectively.
The new engine
allows Fiat Professional to lower the price of the Doblo to £ 15,995
(US$ 19,000), excluding VAT. No other
details about the new engine were offered. In the UK, the 2020MY Doblo is
offered in four trim levels – Standard, SX, Tecnico and Sportivo. The Standard
specification comes with the new Eco pack which adds Stop&Start, a smart
alternator and an electronically-controlled fuel pump. The Eco pack’s purpose
is to save energy and ensure higher combustion efficiency.
The SX grade gets a
near-side sliding door, body-colored door mirrors, and driver height-adjustable
seat, while the Tecnico trim brings air conditioning, cruise control, satellite
navigation, and reversing sensors, while the top-of-the-line Sportivo is
available exclusively in black metallic with 16-inch alloys and folding
electric door mirrors with heating function.
As before,
customers have a choice of several different versions, including Cargo, Maxi
Cargo, Cargo XL, Passenger, Maxi Passenger, XL Passenger, Crew Van, Work up and
Maxi Platform. Fiat says it offers a best-in-class load area of up to 5.4 cubic
meters as well as a class-leading payload of up to 1 ton.
