Fiat Qubo Trekking, we'll see it in Frankfurt

The Fiat Qubo is a van with a family vocation and a more elaborate design (which I particularly like, especially the rear). In our country it is going quite unnoticed despite its small size and practicality for both professional and private use.

Well then, for that private and family use, Fiat has launched a version of the Qubo that we will be able to see at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Fiat Qubo Trekking focuses more on a slightly more rugged use and is aimed at lovers of nature, sports or outdoor activities.

Externally it is recognisable by its raised suspension, underbody protection, roof bars and tinted glass, among other exterior details. The new Qubo Trekking also comes with a complete equipment list including elements such as ABS with EBD, front and side airbags, the Blu&Me system with the “eco:Drive” app, CD/MP3 radio with steering-wheel controls, or ESP.

The Trekking version adds a mechanical novelty, a new system called Traction +, which according to Fiat emulates the traction system of a 4×2 SUV but at a lower cost. In practice it is an improved front-wheel drive which, combined with ESP, ensures better response in adverse conditions. The available engine is the 1.3 JTD with 75 CV, offering reasonable performance and a fairly economical engine.
