FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 23 2015
NEW FIAT DOBLÒ CARGO ON SALE IN IRELAND

New FIAT Doblò Cargo goes on sale in Irish showrooms priced from
€13,850*

In addition to its new exterior design, there are important technical
enhancements for the 2015 model

New FIAT Doblò also debuts ultra-efficient new “EcoJet” derivative

The FIAT Doblò is the first vehicle to be badged “FIAT Professional”
With 1.4 million sales in 80 markets and numerous award accolades, including International
Van of Year in 2006 and 2011, the new FIAT Doblò retains many of the class-leading traits that
have defined its critical and commercial success, such as its excellent dynamics and comfort
and best-in-class load and volume capacities.
For 2015, however, these attributes are further supplemented with significant improvements
for the cornerstone 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engines, which benefit from enhanced
responsiveness - more torque from lower revs – and improved efficiency of up to 12 percent.
In the case of the 1.3-litre MultiJet II engine, for example, this responsiveness has increased by
approximately 40 percent compared to the model it replaces, resulting in greater flexibility for
more relaxed and efficient driving as well as livelier performance when circumstances demand.
The 90hp 1.3 MultiJet II and 105hp 1.6 MultiJet II engines are also available with the “EcoJet”
option which offers a further reduction in fuel consumption and emission levels thanks to the
use of Start&Stop; low rolling-resistance tyres; low-viscosity oil; an ‘intelligent’ alternator; a
variable-displacement oil pump and a new aerodynamic pack. All this makes a fuel economy
figure of up to 64 MPG (4.4 L/100km) and CO2 emissions of just 115 g/km possible.

The technical improvements are only part of the story, of course. The 2015 FIAT Doblò
Cargo also benefits from a complete redesign in line with the new, muscular design language
first seen on the new FIAT Ducato. The sculpted bonnet and distinctive new headlamps
combine with the bold new grille to add an air of sophistication and elegance to the 2015 FIAT
Doblò’s design. The sleek new front bumper, lower air intakes and fog light shrouds adopt a
more car-like refinement while also hinting at the new Doblò’s solidity and robustness, and at
the rear new light clusters, with their sleeker shape and more sophisticated graphics, round
out the Doblò’s style revisions for 2015.
Inside, Doblò retains its current interior, which is highly regarded amongst Irish customers for
its ease-of-use; ample storage space; high comfort and specification levels and its ability to
shrug off the rigours of daily use with ease. Responding to customer feedback, the 2015 Doblò
benefits from a lighter and more fluid clutch action coupled with a shorter and more positive
gear change, while additional cabin soundproofing has resulted in an average reduction of 3dB.
In terms of safety, the Doblò’s safety credentials are enhanced by a full suite of standard
driver’s aids including ESC (Electronic Stability Control), ABS brakes with EBD (Electronic
Brake force Distribution), ASR (Anti Slip Regulation), HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist) and HillHolder systems that help the driver during hill starts. A passenger airbag and lateral airbags, as
well as TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) are part of the Doblò’s optional safety
arsenal. Underpinning all of this, of course, is the FIAT Doblo’s class-leading chassis, the
highlight of which is its sophisticated bi-link rear suspension which combines a smooth and
quiet ride with sharp yet predictable handling, even when laden – an ideal set up to prevent
drivers getting into the trouble in the first place.
Naturally, the hugely versatile load compartment remains central to the vehicle’s appeal - with
a payload of up to one tonne, the Doblò’s load bay is defined by a flat floor with minimal wheel
arch intrusions and practical squared-off shape - again, thanks to the bi-link rear suspension!

The load area, which can be specified up to 5m3, is accessed via rear doors which helpfully
open to 180-degrees with hard-wearing and ergonomic handles (the rear door, for example,
can be opened and fully extended using just your “pinkie” finger – perfect when holding heavy
boxes).
New options for the 2015 Doblò include a new Gateway module for vehicle telematics, a
power folding door mirror function, and, available shortly after launch, the Traction+ system
which has already proved itself in the Fiorino and Ducato. Traction+ enables drivers to make
sure-footed progress even on low-grip surfaces, such as snow or mud, without increasing the
weight of the vehicle, thereby avoiding the increased running costs associated with full 4x4
systems.
Available to order in Ireland now, the new FIAT Doblò Cargo range comprises four bodystyles, two roof height options, two wheelbase lengths, two engines options and two trim
levels: Standard, and SX.
Standard features on all FIAT Doblò models include adjustable-level headlamps, a full-size spare
wheel, full bulkhead, overhead storage, electric windows, central locking, full wheel trims, side
rubbing strips, full-height twin panelled rear doors; (plus an nearside sliding side door on Maxi
and XL models) and a speed limiter (upon request). The EcoJet option pack adds smart
alternator management, variable displacement oil pump, Start & Stop, low-friction oil, and lowrolling resistance tyres and a new aerodynamic pack.
The SX model adds bulkhead soundproofing and load area PVC lining, as well as front fog
lamps; electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors with body-coloured covers; remote
control central locking; nearside sliding door; height adjustable drivers’ seat with lumbar
support; in-cushion storage in the passenger seat and an upgraded stereo with MP3
compatibility.
