The latest evolution of the Fiat Ducato has arrived in Australia. The new generation of this hugely successful LCV,
which has notched up 2.6 million global sales since it was launched in 1981.
The new exterior style brings new sophistication to the light commercial vehicle segment, conveying a strong sense of
dynamism, quality, safety and robustness. The all-new front end features new Daytime Running Lights with optional LEDs
and a bold new grille design, as well as a new three-part front bumper which helps to reduce repair costs.
Inside, the new Fiat Ducato offers a comfortable, attractive and superbly functional cabin environment. New seats
offer suitable comfort levels across the range, while technology upgrades, like the new five-inch colour touchscreen
infotainment unit, offer new levels of useability.
With the new Ducato, Fiat Professional has worked to reduce emissions and improve economy. The heavy-duty, 3.0
MultiJet diesel generates 130kW @ 3,500rpm and 400Nm @ 1,400rpm, has CO2 emissions of 203g/km, and has a consumption
rating of 7.2 litres per hundred kilometres on the combined cycle. Further cost-saves are offered with the Ducato’s
impressive 48,000km service intervals.

The new Fiat Ducato is available with gross vehicle weight configurations of between 3,510kg and 4,005kg and is
available with three different wheelbases, four different lengths, two heights and maximum payloads that range from
1,560kg to 2,110kg - providing a new Ducato to fufill many needs.
The new Ducato is available with a six-speed manual transmission or six-speed Comfort-Matic transmission (standard on
‘Long’ and ‘Extra Long’ wheelbase versions). Further improvements to efficiency and running costs have been gained by
working on kerb weight reduction and increased payload through, for example, the use of composite materials in the rear
suspension.
An extensive pre-launch programme for the new Ducato saw it tested extensively throughout the world. Combined with the
experience and know-how of Fiat Professional’s engineers, this has resulted in body and chassis reinforcements, improved
braking and performance, and enhancements to the lifespan of the suspension and clutch.
The enhancements don’t end there. The new Fiat Ducato is packed with high-tech content, such as state-of-the-art
safety and driving assistance devices, as well as new infotainment systems. All versions continue to offer an Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system as standard, but it now integrates a Roll-over Mitigation System to increase comfort and
protect the load from unexpected motion, in conjunction with Load and Centre of Gravity Detection (LAC), Hill Holder,
Anti-Slip (ASR) and Electronic Braking Assistance (EBA) systems.
Additionally, to ensure greater manoeuvrability and enhanced driving comfort, dual-mode Servotronic power steering
continues to be offered as standard, while optional driving assistance systems are available on request, such as
Traction+ (complete with Hill Descent Control) and a Lane Departure Warning system with high-beam recognition.
The new Ducato also offers Bluetooth and MP3 playback and a five-inch colour touchscreen with optional reversing
camera.
The new Ducato can be ordered through Fiat Professional dealerships now.
