Fiat Have Smartened Up The Doblos Act. Andy Enright Takes A Look At A Prettier Proposition.
"Whoah! Dont fancy yours much." That was the emotion I interpreted from fellow drivers in Turins traffic the first time I drove a Fiat Doblo. You couldnt fault its practicality, its rugged build or its aggressive pricing but when it came to aesthetics, lets just say the Doblo had a nice personality. Fiat have been beautifying their range of late, taking a scalpel to the excesses of the Multipla, launching the quite startling Grande Punto and now giving the Doblo a nip and tuck. Its never going to turn it into an object of widespread desire but the latest version is no longer quite such an eyesore.
The rather odd looking front end has been thoroughly revised, Fiat ditching the gratuitously odd-looking horizontal bar that appeared plastered onto the front of the old car for a look thats more like a compact 4x4. Bigger headlamps and wider underbumper intakes give the Doblo a little presence without looking like its been tagged by the ugly stick. The changes are likely to put the Fiat onto the shortlists of many buyers who previously rejected it on the grounds that it looked a little unconventional. Prices start at 9,795 and theres a choice of three trim levels Active, Dynamic and 7-seat Family.
The availability of the 7-seat Family version reinforces the versatility of the Doblò range, with the addition of a third row of passenger accommodation in the form of a sliding, foldable bench seat. This is the most affordable 7-seater MPV in the UK market today. In addition, uniquely in this market segment, the Doblò can be specified as a High Roof version, this format offering capacious interior volume and making this Fiat ideal for use as a Motability vehicle, or in the rapidly expanding taxi market. The old Doblo, from unpromising beginnings, developed into quite a decent package. It was certainly good enough from a technical perspective at least - to worry the likes of the Citroën Berlingo Multispace, the Renault Kangoo and the Peugeot Partner Combi, the big players in the van-based MPV sector.
"Doblo buyers need no longer be concerned about their vehicle frightening small children"
After this vehicles original launch, the company did themselves a big favour by ditching the lousy 1.9D diesel engine and replacing it with the 70bhp 16-valve Multijet diesel. The contrast was just night and day and excised the Achilles heel from the Doblo line up. This engine has now been massaged out to 85bhp, while a pair of 1.
9-litre Multijet diesel powerplants of 105 and 120bhp are also offered. The old 1.2-litre petrol powerplant has felt the weight of Fiats axe, being supplanted in this instance by a 77bhp 1.4-litre unit.
An extra 12bhp makes a lot of difference when youre toting a fully loaded Doblo. The 1.3-litre diesel unit is likely to be the big seller and its a very impressive piece of engineering. In traditional diesel engines, fuel is fed to the injectors by a mechanical pump, the injection pressure rising with the rpm of the engine.
This has repercussions on how efficiently the fuel is burnt, leading to noise, poor emissions and so-so fuel economy. A common-rail engine, however, maintains a constant injection pressure regardless of the weight of the drivers right boot, the Unijet injectors also using so-called pilot injection to pre-warm the combustion chamber. This decreases noise, and vibration. Fire up the Doblo 1.
9-litre JTD and youll appreciate the technology. The 1.3-litre Multijet engine is a progression from the JTD, it divides that main injection into a series of smaller shots, the idea being to reduce emissions and noise while at the same time increasing performance. This latest version of the 1.
