Following on from the Doblò Work Up launched last year, the New Doblò XL aims to strengthen and broaden the appeal of the Doblò Cargo range. The Doblò XL’s combination of a long wheelbase and high roof provides a load volume of 5.0 m3 and a payload of 1,000kg, providing customers with a new proposition previously unavailable in this segment.

The new version’s high roof integrates into the body providing an aerodynamic vehicle. The rear doors provide access to the load compartment allowing customers to fully utilise the 5.0 m3 load volume.

The new Doblò XL Cargo versions are powered by a choice of three Euro 5 turbodiesel engines: 1.6 MultiJet 105 hp, 1.6 MultiJet 90hp MTA and 2.0 MultiJet 135hp. Combi versions will be available with the 2.0 MultiJet 135hp only.

As with the current range, the new Doblò XL offers outstanding features such as best-in-class for payload and volume and best-in-class for load compartment dimensions (length and height).

The new XL version will sit between the Purpose Built Van and Small Panel Van segments and is likely to attract customers from the latter as it offers the same load capacity and payload (1 Ton) but at a lower price.

With its increase in load volume, ease of loading, low fuel consumption, reduced operating costs, safety and comfort, the Doblò XL will appeal to a  variety of customers including utilities, service vehicles (with ladder stored internally), converters and wheelchair-accessible transport for example.

Fiat Professional’s Doblò Cargo Bi-Link suspension ensures a smooth ride, and its range of environmentally-friendly Euro 5-compliant engines makes it cleaner and cheaper to run.

The New Doblò XL will be available in Cargo N1, Combi N1 and M1 versions and as with the existing Doblò Cargo and Combi range, the Doblò XL will be available in two trim levels. In addition, Combi M1 versions will have side airbags and ESP as standard equipment.

Options include Blue&Me with steering wheel controls, Blue&Me TomTom navigator and eco:Drive Professional software.
