At the Paris Motor Show, Fiat Auto will be world premiering a new model that is due to go on sale from November. It is called the Fiat Doblò. A youthful, original name that oozes fun and likeability. Like the vehicle itself, which is unique of its kind.  

Whether you are seeking a companion for adventures or a workmate, you can do anything you want with a Fiat Doblò. Exactly what you would expect of an MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle).  

It is ideal if you want an informal, simple, mould-breaking vehicle that can adapt to any need. Perfect if you work and drive in town. But also ideal if you travel the world, alone or with friends, accompanied by sports equipment, luggage, your own habits and - above all - a will to be free and get away from it all.  

The Fiat Doblò is as easy to handle and comfortable as a car yet as roomy as an MPV. In fact, for a competitive price, it offers the same versatility as an MPV but has a more compact exterior: just 4.16 metres long and 1.71 metres wide. 

The Fiat Doblò's originality is evident in its rational but far from run-of-the-mill styling that spells out an ability to meet the needs of different applications and different customers. In a word, a vehicle designed for function: and in fact the new model's watchwords are practicality and flexibility.  

The Fiat Doblò can seat five people in comfort while also offering plenty of luggage space: 750 litres to parcel rack level is an absolute record in the MPV category.  The back seat can also be folded down to create 3000 litres of load space. This means the vehicle can carry bulky equipment for sport, leisure or work activities. As if this were not enough, you can also order convenient roof bars and a swivel-opening roof hatch that enables you to house longer items.  

The facia and passenger compartment also house a host of storage compartments (including a shelf beneath the cab roof) so everything you need is always within easy reach.  

The Fiat Doblò is all set to create a new benchmark within its market segment and its future success will be partly due to certain particularly innovative features. These include an Info-Telematic Node with radio, GSM phone, satellite navigation system and Service call for emergency calls. The latter device gives the driver peace of mind in any emergency situation.  

The Fiat Doblò also stands for safety: preventive, active and passive. Full control in all road conditions is assured by category-topping handling and roadholding. The body has passed all the toughest and most recent crash standards with flying colours but already complies with some of the future specifications.
