New Fiat Ducato now on sale here

The sixth generation of the FIAT Ducato is now on sale in Ireland priced from €17,600. Chassis cab pricing starts at €21,950.

FIAT Professional has worked to reduce emissions and improve economy by around 10 percent across the Euro 5+ engine range. All models are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. C02 emissions for the entry-level 2.3 MultiJet II 110hp are as low as 170g/km and a fuel economy figure of 6.4 L/100km on the NEDC cycle.

Both the 2.3 MultiJet II 130, which produces 130hp and 320Nm, and the 2.3 MultiJet II 150, with 150hp and 350 Nm, when equipped with optional Start&Stop, return 164g/km and 6.2 L/100km for both engines. The heavy-duty 3.0 MultiJet Power 180, with 180hp and 400 Nm of torque, emits 203g/km and returns a claimed 7.7 L/100km on the NEDC cycle.

Service intervals of 48,000 help lower service bills and reduce time the vehicle spends off the road for maintenance.

All versions are equipped with an advanced ESC (Electronic Stability Control) system as standard. A driver's airbag is standard while a passenger one (to take account of the double-bench seats); side airbags and curtain ones are available on request.

Eight load volumes are available ranging from 8 to 17 m3, across four lengths, three wheelbases and three heights, with payloads of between 800 and 2,100kg, as well as three different sizes each of side-sliding and rear doors.

This all makes for a total of 1,000 possible van body configurations alone.
