Fiat Doblo interior pics
The next generation, seven seater Fiat Doblo has been released, and here is a look at the Punto-inspired interior. The Fiat Doblo has always been known as a large, multipurpose people mover-come-trade van in Italy, and now Fiat says that it is larger than ever with more passenger and baggage space. The first Fiat Doblo was presented back in 2000, and since, Fiat has sold about one million models.
The 2010 Doblo update is not just about size, but also style and a new set of engines. It won’t feature the new Fiat Multiair engine, at least initially, but will have a petrol motor with 94 hp, and a Multijet diesel range with 89, 104 and 133 hp. A “Natural Power” petrol-methane version will be available in the future, and a diesel Dualogic, and Fiat is guaranteeing low emissions and fuel consumption figures. The 1.3 Multijet, for example, will produce 129 g/km of CO2 and an average fuel consumption of 4.8 litres per 100 km.
The Cargo van version will be available from launch, which has a rear capacity of 3.4 to 4.2 cubic metres and a weight capacity of 750 to 1000 kg. The van version comes in various kits, including combined seating and van space, or just the front cabin and rear van space. The standard, people carrier version has plenty of comfort features with air conditioning, cruise control, Blue&Me multimedia technology and parking sensors.
Fiat at the Bologna motorshow 2008
Fiat has no new products at its stand at the Bologna motor show, but we had the opportunity to explore all the latest models, including the Fiat 500 by Diesel, the Fiat Bravo 2.0 multijet 165hp, and the Punto Natural Power. Other models present are the Panda 4×4 Glam, the Fiat Punto 1.6 multijet and Pur-02 versions.
On display at the stand is also the Punto from the Fiat Street Art Show and the Fiat sponsored Yamaha from Valentino Rossi.
Fiat Grande Punto: one million produced, natural power success for Fiat
Fiat has celebrated the production of one million Grande Punto cars, which is not a bad figure for a vehicle released on the market in 2005 as the heir to the first Punto (itself making 3,500,000 examples between 1993 and 1999) and the second series (reaching 3,000,000 cars from 1999 to today).
The more surprising detail however, is in the market request for methane cars: 24 percent of the new Grande Punto represents the Natural Power version, showing that perhaps the world really is on its way to adopting alternative fuels. Of production, 25 percent is made up of the Sport and Racing models, with some personalisation options (14 percent of customers opting for the stickers) and the Blue&Me system present in 30 percent of the vehicles produced.
The millionth Grande Punto is destined for the UK with a 1.4 litre T-Jet engine and the Rosso Passionale, or red passion, colour.
