24th November, 2014

The Fiat Doblo has arrived in Australia for the first time, offering new levels of practicality, versatility, comfort, safety and fuel efficiency to the small commercial vehicle sector.

  • Four engine options: 1.6-litre diesel with 66kW @ 4,000rpm and 200Nm @ 1,500rpm or 77kW @ 4,000rpm and 290Nm @ 1,500rpm, a 2.0-litre diesel with 99kW @ 3,500rpm and 320Nm @ 1,500rpm, and a 1.4-litre petrol with 70kW @ 4,000rpm and 127Nm @ 4,500rpm
  • Efficient motoring: fuel consumption as low as 4.9 litres per hundred kilometres
  • Two wheelbase lengths: 4,390mm (short wheelbase) and 4,740mm  (Maxi)
  • Class-leading payload capacity: 750kg (short wheelbase) and 1,000kg (Maxi)
  • Intelligent design: double sliding doors, Hill Holder function, Bluetooth capability with optional integrated navigation
  • Doblo range starts from just $22,000* (MLP*)

The new Fiat Doblo has arrived in Australia for the first time. The Doblo sits on a platform with a focus on areas that matter most to professional drivers.

The Doblo joins the Scudo and the new Ducato in Fiat Professional’s commercial line-up, and will be instrumental to the continued growth of the range - further evidence of FCA Australia’s commitment to grow and develop the Fiat Professional brand locally.

The Doblo’s load compartment is focused on space and practicality, with an interior length of either 1,820mm or 2,170mm (Maxi) and width between the wheel arches of 1,230mm. To ensure this extra space can be fully exploited it has been made as square as possible. And access is through generously sized rear doors - side-hinged or tailgate with 180-degree opening can be specified - along with double sliding doors.

To further broaden the Doblo’s appeal it will be offered with two wheelbase choices and four engine specifications covering both diesel and petrol versions. The high level of standard equipment includes air-conditioning, ESP, four airbags, twin sliding doors, a PVC floor and Bluetooth connectivity.

Two diesel options are available with the short wheelbase Doblo, both powered by Fiat Professional’s 1.6-litre Multijet engine. The range commences with outputs of 66kW and 200Nm and steps up to outputs of 77kW and 290Nm. The petrol model is equipped with a 70kW and 127Nm 1.4-litre powerplant. The Doblo Maxi is powered by a 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel that generates 99kW and 320Nm.

Both inside and out, the Fiat Doblo is proof that just because a vehicle works for a living it doesn't have to appear utilitarian. Pronounced wheel arches give the solid and robust appeal that buyers of commercial vehicles expect. Large headlights, a rounded bonnet and Fiat Professional's trademark 'mouth' give the front the visual effect to stand out from its competitors.

The Doblo’s large windscreen not only means excellent visibility but also ensures the cabin is filled with light. This combines with a well thought-out interior design and very high level of standard equipment to make the Doblo a convenient, comfortable and safe place to spend time in.

As with every other Fiat Professional vehicle in the range, state of the art technology is employed to make the Doblo as safe as possible. Its standard ESP Electronic Stability Programme features a Hill Holder function to make starts on slopes seamless. And the ABS anti-lock brakes are accompanied by EBD Electronic Brake Distribution to maximise stopping power.

The comfortable interior is filled with features more typical of a highly specified family car than a working vehicle. Climate control and Bluetooth are standard on all models, while cruise control and parking sensors are standard across the diesel range.

As well as the hi-tech solutions, the Doblo Cargo features many simple answers to everyday challenges. There's a large lockable glove box that's big enough to take a 14-inch laptop, and door pockets that can accommodate two half-litre water bottles.

Perhaps most importantly for the everyday user, Doblo’s innovative design means the load compartment is now roomy and square to make it fully exploitable. All models are 1714mm wide inside and 1305mm high. The spacious interior equates to impressive load volumes of 3.4m3 for the short wheelbase and 4.2m3 for the Maxi.

The Doblo range starts from just $22,000* and is available in local dealerships now.
