New Fiat Ducato 2014

The new Fiat Ducato is now available at dealerships. Since 1981, the year of this vehicle’s first launch, 2.6 million units have been sold. This shows that the trust of workers and businesses in the Ducato has been earned over the years.

New technological content, safety, improved performance, quality and greater efficiency are some of the aspects that have been improved. All of this, combined with low maintenance costs, gives the vehicle a higher residual value.

Across the entire range, it comes as standard with: electronic stability control (ESP) enhanced by the roll mitigation system, variable-assistance power steering Servotronic, lumbar support and armrests on the driver’s seat, a full-size spare wheel, among many other features.

The option list for the new Fiat Ducato offers major technological innovations: rear-view camera, sound systems with Bluetooth, touchscreen and navigation, LED daytime running lights, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS), lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition (LDWS), traction system with hill descent control, or the retractable rear step. These are just some of the many options that can be fitted to this vehicle.

The Multijet engine range is wide. Depending on the customer’s needs, they can choose the engine that best suits their daily routine. Starting with the 2.0 Multijet 115 hp, with reduced consumption, moving on to the 2.3 Multijet 130 hp and 150 hp with variable geometry turbo, delivering high performance and low consumption, and finishing with a 3.0 Multijet 180 hp version and another that will be available later: the 3.0 Multijet Natural Power (Euro 6 compliant), which combines petrol and methane.

The versatility of the body is evident in the large number of variants that can be configured. No less than 10,000 combinations involving engine, gearbox and body options.

Features such as 8 volumes with load areas from 8 m3 to 17 m3, 3 different sizes of side sliding door and rear door, 5 wheelbases and 6 lengths for the base conversion ranges (chassis-cab, chassis-cab with platform, double cab, chassis-front), as well as Tractor Cabs and Front-Engine Chassis for connecting special Al-Ko AMC rear chassis and a special range with lowered chassis for the Leisure Time versions, 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes and 6-speed Comfort-matic robotised gearboxes, plus specific transmission ratios for the Maxi and Ducato Camper ranges.

In short, Fiat launches the renewal of a versatile commercial vehicle with countless possibilities that will make the professional’s life easier. Renault Master, Peugeot Boxer, Opel Movano or the Mercedes Sprinter, and among specialist brands, such as Iveco Daily, are its main rivals on the market.
