Fiat’s good-looking Ducato commercial van range now boasts the most powerful four-cylinder turbo-diesel in the segment and gains some extra specification as part of its latest update.
Biggest news is under the bonnet where the hot-selling Ducato adds a Fiat 180 Multijet Euro 5, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine good for 130kW of power and 400Nm of torque from 1400 to 3000rpm.
That’s up from 108kW/350Nm.
Fuel consumption is rated at 8.0l/100kms.
So, depending on the configuration, the updated Fiat Ducato can make light work of loads up 2,000kgs.
On the specifications front, the latest Fiat Ducato boasts reverese parking sensors, ESP with Anti Slip Regulator, Hill Holder, Load Adaptive Control, air-conditioning, Bluetooth with voice control and steering wheel controls and a fully integrated mounting for TomTom navigation.
Strong on the practicality demanded by hard-working commercial van operators, the Fiat Ducato lists as standard a bulkhead with viewing window, 260-degree barn rear doors and the option of a second sliding side door.
Fiat Professional backs every new Ducato with a full 5 year/200,000 warranty, menu-based pricing for scheduled servicing and 24,000kms service intervals.
Prices start at $40,000.
