More reviews of new minivans:

Our acquaintance with the new Fiat Doblo 2012-2013 will begin by indicating the external dimensions car: 4390 mm long, 1832 mm wide, 1845 mm high (1895 mm with roof rails), 2755 mm wheelbase, 1510 mm front wheel track, 1530 mm rear wheel track.
With standard tires 195/60 R16 on steel rims of 16 radius, the ground clearance (clearance) of the minivan in an unloaded state is 180 mm.
The body colors of the new Fiat Doblo can be ordered from three non-metallic colors - Ambient White (white), Breakcore Red (red), Line Blue (blue) or eight metallic enamels - Indie Ivory (ivory), Minimal Gray (light gray) , Chemical Gray (dark grey), Hilibilly Azzur (azure blue), Flamenco Red (red), Neoclassical Bordeaux (burgundy), Cool Jazz Blue (blue) and Rocka billy Black (black).

Italian designers have awarded a large family car with a bright original appearance. Against the background of the outwardly ordinary previous generation of the model and the traditional exterior design of the main competitors in the face, and, the new Fiat Dobla looks like a real respectable gentleman.

A huge vertical plane of the front part of the body with large drops of headlights, a high trapezium of a false radiator grill, which is hugged by a monolithic bumper body, complemented not only by fog lights, but also by a stylish and functional aerodynamic skirt at the bottom.

The body profile, despite its box-shaped shape, also looks original and bright: a broken, ascending window sill line gives the utilitarian “heel” a dynamic look, large stamping stylishly expands the wheel arches and the lower part of the car doors. The huge dimensions of the minivan give out 16-inch wheels, which are simply lost against the backdrop of the car's large body. A flat roofline at a right angle adjacent to the vertical surface of the rear of the body.

The stern of the Italian car with a gigantic single-leaf door that rises up and provides perfect access to the trunk hold. Stylistic design of the door luggage compartment- with a large area of glass, continuing with an insert of black glossy plastic, an original solution that gives the stern an airy and light look. The high vertical sections of marker lamps located on the body pillars and a compact bumper emphasize the neat style of the Italian minivan.

The new Fiat Doblo will not get lost in the traffic and in the parking lot, but the most important thing is hidden inside the car and hidden from prying eyes, it is a huge and functional interior.

When choosing a family minivan, the potential owner is primarily interested in the size of the cabin and trunk of the car, the possibility of installing additional seats to carry a couple more passengers, the presence of compartments for storing small luggage, the convenience of transforming the cabin and loading luggage.

Only after making sure that these bonuses are available, the car owner considers the proposed engines and the level of filling of the configuration with chips responsible for comfort. The new Fiat Doblo 2013 with room for five passengers and a trunk is in order. We did not make a reservation, exactly 5 !!! person, including the driver. You can order two additional seats as an option, but ... adult passengers will not be able to comfortably sit on such chairs.

Free space above your head and in width with a margin, but your knees rest against the backs of the second-row seats and the seats themselves are terribly uncomfortable. So in the third row you can put children of primary school age.

The trunk of the Italian minivan Fiat Doblo is like a bottomless hold of a ship: width - 1200 mm, height to the ceiling - 1150 mm, height to the glass level - 600 mm, length to the backs of the second row seats 900 mm, when folding the seats, the length of the compartment increases to 1650 mm. Even with five crew members, the trunk volume is 790 liters, having folded the second row, we get the opportunity to load 3200 liters of cargo. The load capacity is really not great, only 500 kg.

For the driver and his four companions in the cabin there is a huge supply of free space, especially overhead. The front seats may seem flat, but the seating position is deep and comfortable. The long cushion and the subtle lateral support bolsters optimally support the hips and back of the driver and front passenger. Armchairs set high, view from driver's seat great. The front panel and center console do not shine with sophistication, everything is simple, but functional and convenient. Comfortable with tides for the right grip wheel can be adjusted in height and depth, an ordinary dashboard is complemented by a compact trip computer screen, a modest radio tape recorder (radio CD 4 speakers) on top of the dashboard, an air conditioning control unit, a gear knob on the ledge of the center console in a convenient place, which is called at hand. The torpedo is complemented by a mass of open shelves, under the ceiling above the heads of the driver and passenger there is a large and comfortable shelf traditional for minivans.

Expensive European versions of Fiat Doblo are equipped with richer versions supplied to Ukraine, climate control with air ducts for second-row passengers, cruise control, parking sensors, Blue & M touch screen (navigator, phone control), advanced audio system with voice control (CD MP3 Bluetooth USB ).

Passengers of the second row are provided with a comfortable sofa, seats in all directions with a margin, those sitting behind do not constrain each other, their knees do not reach the backs of the front seats, 30 centimeters of free space above their heads. It is not clear why the separate seat back is not able to change the angle of inclination, and the sofa itself is deprived of the ability to move along the cabin. Ease of landing for rear passengers is provided by sliding doors, which, when opened, form a large rectangular opening.

The quality of materials (soft plastic, fabric, carpet) used for interior trim, and the level of assembly of interior elements, make a good impression.

Specifications the new generation Fiat Doblo 2013 is also distinguished by the use of solutions that are unconventional for most classmates. First of all, this concerns an independent suspension, MacPherson struts in front, but a two-lever scheme (Dual-Link) is used in the rear. Fully independent suspension a positive effect on handling and comfort, the high energy intensity of the suspension elements allows you to confidently move on broken and even dirt roads. The chassis painlessly digests medium and large pits, passing only deaf pokes to the cabin. The power steering is hydraulic, the brakes are disc front and drum type rear. ABS with EBD, ESP with Hill Start Assist are responsible for the safety of the driver and passengers.
Engines for the new Italian minivan produced in Turkey (Bursa) are offered four, all four-cylinder: one petrol and three diesels.

Petrol Fiat Doblo 1.4 liter (95 hp) paired with a 5 manual transmission accelerates a car weighing from 1340 kg to 100 km / h in a long 15.4 seconds, the maximum speed is about 160 km / h.

Feedback from the owners allows us to say that in real conditions operation, fuel consumption varies from 8 to 11 liters, depending on the degree of loading of the vehicle.
Diesel engines:

Diesel Fiat Doblo 1.3 liter Multijet II (90 hp) with 5 manual transmissions, acceleration to hundreds in 15 seconds and a top speed of 156 mph. Passport fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 4.9 liters.

Test Drive Fiat Dobla 2013: a new generation of cars will perfectly cope with broken domestic roads thanks to the comfortable and soft suspension, but aggressive driving with quick starts and high-speed cornering behind the wheel of a large minivan is not even worth thinking about. The dynamics are sluggish, the car leans noticeably in corners, the optimal speed on the highway is 100-110 mph. The owner needs to be especially vigilant in strong side winds and when driving with trucks (Fiat Doblo has a large body windage). The machine is designed for measured movement and comfortable movement. big family with all the belongings.

Fiat Doblo is a versatile 5- or 7-seat M class van that is suitable for transporting goods for commercial purposes and for a large family. Production of the model began in 2000 and continues to this day. The machine was assembled in Turkey, Vietnam, Brazil and Russia.

On the Russian market Fiat Doblo is not very common. The car is offered to domestic consumers in two variations: the Panorama minivan and the Cargo cargo version. The model is distinguished by flexibility in operation and rationality of all elements, which is especially appreciated in the commercial segment.

Model history and purpose

The premiere of the first generation Fiat Doblo took place in 2000. The car immediately received passenger and cargo modifications and several engine options (gasoline, diesel, gas). The appearance of the first generation cannot be called catchy. The progenitors of the car were Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner. It was after their appearance in the early 1990s that interest in machines of this class began to grow among commercial customers and ordinary citizens. Fiat Doblo arrived rather late, but there was a tangible advantage in this. Italian developers could study the advantages and disadvantages of competitors, making their model cheaper and of higher quality.

The first generation Fiat Doblo did not last long. In the spring of 2004, the car underwent restyling. Moreover, the upgraded version received new engines, exterior and modifications. The best of the debut version has been preserved in it: easy access to the cabin, a large trunk size and the ability to carry significant weight. At the same time, the appearance of the restyled model has become more harmonious. The design of the front area of the body has noticeably changed, the rear and front headlights have been replaced. The work of Italian designers was also noticed in the world market. In 2005, Fiat Doblo received an award at the RAI 2005 commercial vehicle exhibition. The competition jury noted not only the interesting appearance of the car, but also its great functionality.

The main production of the restyled Fiat Doblo was located in Turkey, but the assembly was also carried out in Vietnam, Brazil and Russia (at the facilities in Naberezhnye Chelny). Since 2011, the production of domestic Fiat Doblos has been discontinued, and Turkish-made cars are supplied to Russia. It is noteworthy that until 2016, only restyled cars with a 1.4-liter unit (77 hp) and manual transmission, although by that time the Italian brand had already introduced a new generation of Fiat Doblo.

The premiere of the second generation of the model took place in 2009. The machine was based new platform Fiat Small Wide. The car was offered in 4 versions: a small truck, a passenger minivan, a cargo van and a combi variant. Fiat Doblo got full new design which made it more personal. Among other representatives of the M segment, the “Italian” immediately stands out. A powerful front end with a large V-shaped honeycomb grille, voluminous headlights and niches for fog lights make it very brutal. Rear part is also full of innovative features: an updated bumper with wide side stripes and 2-color headlight lenses.

However, Fiat Doblo II has unique functionality. The car can fit up to 7 seats, and the trunk volume can reach 790 liters (up to 3000 liters with the seats folded), which is the maximum in this segment. The developers have not forgotten about security either. Fiat Doblo has excellent handling (due to the Bi-link suspension) and already has ABS and ESP as standard.

In 2015, the car went through a restyling. The main changes affected the exterior, which has become more modern. The model is assembled at the Turkish Tofas factory, where Special attention focus on build quality.

Fiat Doblo is very versatile. The model is perfect for the role of a cozy and reliable family car. It will be no less effective in commerce due to its spaciousness and excellent functional qualities. The main scope of the machine is transportation over short and medium distances.

The front is a load-bearing body with a subframe, MacPherson struts, lower wishbones, suspension struts, stabilizer roll stability. All body loads are transmitted through 3 separate points. Rear suspension the latest version of Fiat Doblo has undergone changes. Instead of the previous dependent beam, a 2-link suspension was installed. The innovation improved the smoothness of the car.

Quite often there are problems with side sliding doors due to the wear of the mechanism.
Corrosion often occurs exhaust system, and in later versions, rust goes along the body.

How to set up the phone? This question is mostly asked when you need to set up the Internet on your phone. Our site is dedicated to correct setting phones, smartphones, tablets. If your phone or smartphone is not the first gadget that you hold in your hands, then the operation of connecting it to the World Wide Web will not seem difficult to you, and it will not take much time either. So, let's start with the fact that, as you know, you can access the network through a wi-fi or 3G connection. Let's look at the basic 3G settings for the most common operating systems - Android and iOS.

Let's say right away that the APN, username and password for subscribers of cellular companies will look like this: internet.***.ru (access point) and *** (the name and password are the name of the communication provider company, written in small letters in Latin). For example Internet settings MTS are the same for everyone who has chosen Mobile TeleSystems as a mobile operator.

Let's give an example of how to set up MTS Internet on a tablet if iOS is installed on it: in the "Settings" we find the "Cellular Data" section, then "APN Settings", where you will need to enter the above access point name. Then in without fail check if the “Cellular data” item is active in the section of the same name. After these simple manipulations, you will most likely already be able to freely access the network (of course, provided that there is no account debt and this service is already connected by the operator).

How to set up MTS Internet on a phone or tablet

In the case of Android tablets or smartphones, the settings will be slightly different from the above: we are looking for "Wireless networks" in "Settings", in "Wireless networks" - "Mobile network", in "Mobile network" - "APN access points". After that, you should select the "New access point" item in the "Menu" and fill in not all the free fields, but only the APN, username and password, which have already been discussed above. Don't forget to save the entered data by pressing the corresponding button and check the "Data transfer" checkbox for the newly created access point. MTS Internet on your Android tablet is set up!

It is impossible not to mention the tariffs developed by MTS specifically for tablet PCs - “MTS Tablet” and “MTS Tablet Mini”. These options make it possible to use the Internet in 2G, 3G and 4G networks without special speed restrictions (traffic quota - up to 5GB per day), watch mobile TV, etc.

If you prefer another communication provider, such as Beeline, for example, then the settings of the “tablet” itself will be the same, but the access point name, user and password, of course, will have to be entered differently: APN - internet.beeline.ru; name - beeline; the password is also beeline. From the foregoing, we can conclude that the settings that need to be made on a tablet PC in order to access the worldwide network from this device are distinguished by their simplicity and versatility, therefore, for a relatively experienced user, install an MTS (or Beeline) Internet connection on tablet with Android or iOS OS will not be difficult! If you prefer another “OS”, then the settings may differ significantly, therefore, in order to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information on this issue, it is worth typing the appropriate question in the search engine line ...

The Fiat Doblo, which includes the notorious Fiat Doblo Panorama and Fiat Doblo Cargo, is a multifunctional five-seater or seven-seater van of the M division, suitable for transporting a rather large family or cargo for commercial purposes. They started to produce a car in 2000 and continue to do so to this day.

In the Russian market, cars are not very common. For our drivers, the car is offered with two options - minivan Panorama and the cargo version of Cargo. The vehicle is characterized by flexibility during use and the rationality of all elements, which is very important for the commercial segment. Whole the lineup Fiat.

The car immediately received a passenger and cargo modification and a small list of power units (among them were gasoline, diesel and even gas engines). The appearance of a business car can hardly be called catchy. The progenitor of the car is considered Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner.

Just after their appearance at the beginning of the last decade of the twentieth century, the interest of drivers in such models of this niche began to increase both among commercial and ordinary buyers.

Despite the fact that the Italian car came out a little "belatedly", in this she received a significant plus. The development department could explore the strengths and weaknesses of rivals by creating own car cheaper and better quality.

First generation

The debut family of Fiat Doblo 1 lasted a rather short period on the market. When the spring of 2004 came, the "Italian" underwent modernization. It is worth noting that the improved model has acquired new power units, a different appearance and modifications.

On the other hand, all the advantages that were in the first generation of Fiat Doblo were retained. Among them, we can distinguish the presence of convenient access to the car, the huge size of the luggage compartment and the ability to transport significant weight. Considering all this, appearance the upgraded car has become more harmonious.

Restyled version of the first generation

The exterior of the bow body part has noticeably changed. Replaced front and rear headlight units. The works of the Italian company did not go unnoticed, so the car also appeared on the world stage. When 2005 came, the 1st generation Fiat Doblo took the award at the RAI 2005 commercial vehicle exhibition. According to the results of the competitions, the panel of judges noted not only an attractive exterior, but also the considerable functionality of the model.

Turkey became the main production of the restyled model, however, cars were also assembled in Vietnam, Brazil and Russia. But since 2011, they stopped producing domestic Fiat Doblos, and vehicles are supplied to Russia from Turkey.

It is very interesting that until 2016 domestic market sold only modernized versions of the car with a 77-horsepower 1.4-liter power plant, as well as a box on the "mechanics", despite the fact that the Italian company has already officially introduced the next series of models.

Second generation

Compact van Fiat Doblo 2nd generation was first shown to the whole world at the end of 2009. If we compare the car with the previous family, then it has become much more beautiful, has noticeably grown in size, received a brand new interior and improved technical equipment. Now the Italians offered their customers brand new "engines" that run on gasoline and diesel fuel.

The trim level has become noticeably better and looks rich. The changes simply could not but affect the exterior of the car. The 2nd generation Fiat Doblo had new optics and began to look more modern. Thanks to the modified body geometry, it was possible to achieve the effect of earthiness - the car looks a little sporty.

Fiat Doblo second generation

In addition to everything else a new version compact van has become less suitable for a bad road. The designers decided to get rid of the increased ground clearance towards comfort and a smooth ride. It turns out that the second family decided to spend less on working days than the first version.
Fiat Doblo 2000 - 2009 production to this day continues to be popular model in the used car market. Unusual but expensive version universal machine 2nd family is not so popular. The Italian design department was able to reward the family car with a bright and distinctive exterior.

Against the background of the mediocre in the external plan of the past family and the already familiar appearance of the main rivals in the role of the Volkswagen Caddy, Renault Kangoo and Citroen Berlingo Multispace, the novelty of the second generation looks like a real gentleman.

Ahead, you can see a huge vertical plane of the body, where there are large drops of headlights, a high trapezium of the false radiator grille, a monolithic body of the bumper, which received fog lights and a stylish and functional aerodynamic skirt at the bottom.

The side of the car, despite the shape of the "box", also looks unique and unusual. Here you can find the presence of a broken ascending window sill line, which introduces a utilitarian model of dynamism, large stamping, stylishly expanding the wheel arches and the lower part of the car doors.

The large dimensions of the “heel” have 16-inch “rollers”, which are slightly lost in the shadow of the massive “body” of the Fiat Doblo 2. You can also notice a flat roof line at a right angle, adjacent to the aft area of a vertical-type machine.

The back of the Italian received a giant single-leaf lift-up door, which provides excellent access to the luggage compartment. It was very original solution which gives the rear part airiness and lightness.

With high vertical sections parking lights, which are located on the racks, as well as a compact bumper, emphasizes the neat style of the Italian family car. When choose family minivan, then the potential owner is often initially interested in the size of the interior decoration and luggage compartment.

The issue of mounting additional seats for two people additionally is also being considered, a lot of attention is paid to the compartments for the safety of various small things. The level of convenience of transforming the cabin and loading luggage also plays an important role.

Therefore, the 2013 Fiat Doblo received 5 full-fledged seats and a solid luggage compartment. Optionally, you can purchase the installation of two additional seats, however, it will not work for an adult passenger to sit comfortably on such “chairs”. There is enough free space between the head and the ceiling, as well as the width, but the legs will rest against the backs of the 2nd row seats, and the third row seats themselves are very unpleasant.

Optionally, you can purchase the installation of two additional chairs

It turns out that only children can comfortably sit on the 3rd row. But the volume of the luggage compartment of the Italian car received 790 liters, and this is with 5 passengers. If necessary, you can fold the 2nd row of seats and get 3,200 liters of usable space. Although it will not be possible to load the car heavily - according to the passport, the carrying capacity is only about 500 kilograms.

The driver and his four companions received a considerable supply of usable volume, especially for the head. If you pay attention to the seats installed in front, then at first glance it seems that they are flat. However, this is far from the case, because the landing is deep and comfortable.

They provided a long pillow and barely perceptible side support rollers that hold the owner and the passenger sitting next to him well. The seats themselves are raised high, so visibility from the driver's seat is excellent. The panel installed in front, along with the center console, did not receive much refinement, but everything is simple and convenient.

The steering wheel has the right grip and adjustments for height and depth. The uncomplicated dashboard was supplemented with a modest computer display, and the gearshift lever was installed on the “island” of the center console quite conveniently, you don’t have to reach out. There are many open niches on the dashboard, and above the head of those sitting in front there is a massive functional shelf already familiar to this class of cars.

For passengers of the second row of seats, a comfortable sofa was also installed. There is enough free space in all directions, so there will not be crowded people there. From head to ceiling, approximately 30 cm of free space. The only pity is that the second row did not get the opportunity to move around the cabin, and the separate seat back does not change the angle of inclination.

Getting in and out of the car is very comfortable. This is partly due to the sliding doors, which form a solid opening, which has received a rectangular shape. If we talk about the level of finish, then soft plastic, fabric and carpet were used. The level of quality of these elements pleasantly pleased.

As technical equipment Italian specialists applied solutions that were unconventional for many competitors. For example, we decided to use an independent suspension, where McPherson struts were placed in front, and a two-lever scheme (Dual-Link) on the rear axle. Fully independent suspension had a good effect on the level of handling and comfort.

Due to the high energy intensity of the suspension parts, it turned out to be more confident to drive on a broken and even dirt road. Chassis copes with medium and large pits without any problems, giving only dull pokes inside the car.

Under the hood, 4 engines are offered, representing a 4-cylinder version. Of these, 3 are powered by diesel fuel, and 1 runs on gasoline. Petrol is a 1.4-liter engine that develops 95 Horse power.

Together with a five-speed mechanical box gears, it allows the family car to accelerate to the first hundred in 15.4 seconds, and the top speed is 160 kilometers per hour. For every 100 kilometers, such a motor consumes from 5.9 liters on a country road and up to 9.3 liters in urban mode.

However, reviews of Fiat Doblo indicate that in reality the “engine” eats in the range from 8 to 11 liters, depending on what degree of workload vehicle. The diesel line starts with the weakest 90-horsepower Multijet II engine, which received a useful volume of 1.3 liters and a five-speed manual gearbox.

All this allows the car to accelerate to a speed mark of 100 km / h in 15 seconds, and the maximum speed level does not exceed 156 km / h. According to the passport, the motor consumes 4.9 liters in mixed mode. It's nice that the motors diesel fuel received the Start / Stop system, which allows you to achieve such a modest consumption of diesel fuel.

Next comes the 1.6-liter 105-horsepower Multijet unit, which functions in conjunction with a 6-speed “mechanics”. The first hundred is reached in 13.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is 164 kilometers per hour. The appetite of the middle brother is not much different from the younger "engine" - 5.2 liters in the combined cycle.

The diesel range is completed by the 135-horsepower Multijet engine, which received a volume of 2 liters. A 6-speed “mechanics” was paired with it, which allows you to accelerate to the first hundred in 11.3 seconds, and the top speed does not exceed 180 kilometers per hour. According to the passport, the power unit consumes 5.7 liters of diesel fuel in mixed mode.

Second generation restyling

The restyled model of the Italian production Fiat Doblo of the second series of the 2015-2016 model year already this year could be purchased in Russian Federation. The car was officially presented in the fall of 2014 at the international exhibition of commercial vehicles in Germany (Hannover).

Implementation in European countries started in early 2015. The Tofas plant (Bursa Turkey) is engaged in the production of this machine. This vehicle is a passenger-and-freight minivan of the 2nd family, and received the green light back in 2009, and later received updates, which we will mention today. The changes affected the interior and redesigned exterior.

Exterior

I would like to start, of course, with the changes that have taken place in the appearance of the Fiat Doblo commercial vehicle. They are here, even if there are not so many of them, however, they are still there. The nose of the car came out completely new, so there was no trace of its predecessors. The hood has changed its shape, the front fenders have become different, the wide and large false radiator grille, which looks like a friendly smile.

We should not forget about the very stylish head optics, the original air intake, which found its place on the bumper, rather classic foglights with a round shape. It looks quite unusual and refreshing, sometimes even fun. The nose of the van has become smoother and wavy, which is reflected in the rejuvenation of the body and giving it a modern touch.

The radiator grille was made of plastic, which is painted black and appears matte. It has large cells. The front bumper appears as a single structure with fenders and hood. If you look at the side of the 2nd generation Fiat Doblo, you won’t notice the new design elements here.

Frankly, this was to be expected, because the second Fiat Doblo family was proud of the competent arrangement of doors, the presence of solid wheel arches, stylish stampings and other details of the car's appearance, which favorably emphasize all the advantages of the car.

Doors installed in front can be opened wide open. They have a serious supply of space, the rear doors are generally sliding, which guarantees an easy landing in the cabin, despite the size of the people. The general body style of the new van has also been changed, which is partly observed on the sides.

The angle of the roof has been raised, allowing the body to be squared off to increase interior headroom. Depending on what equipment will be installed, the car will have massive windows on the sides or a fully closed body for cargo purposes.

The aft part was carried out, as before, with a strict vertical tailgate, which allows you to open considerable access to the luggage compartment. Generally speaking, the architectural component of the back of the Fiat Doblo has remained almost the same.

Survived the update, perhaps, the rear optical light-amplifying system. We also changed the size of the rear glazing, making it even larger, which made it possible to increase and expand visibility. However, much depends on the modification of the car.

Interior

We've talked about the Fiat Doblo's exterior updates, but what happened inside the car? Here the changes look much more serious than the appearance. The panel installed in front now appears before us in a completely different, more thoughtful way, and the style of the interior is felt.

For the driver, a brand new, very refined steering wheel is provided, which has a comfortable grip and a 3-spoke structure. Behind the steering wheel is a well-thought-out instrument panel with fairly good information content and convenient reading. necessary information despite the illumination of the interior.

The designers also touched on the center console, which has received major changes, if we take into account the past generation. Inside the car, it was customary to use better materials for sheathing. The quality of the noise insulation is at a good level, as it has been improved, where the sound insulation can be attributed.

If we talk about the decorative component, then those who did not wait updated version, will be clearly upset. But what this Fiat Doblo van is loved for is in the back, not in the rear seats, but behind them - in the luggage compartment. In fact, the luggage compartment is simply amazing with large indicators of usable space.

Given the fact that all passengers are seated in their places, this will not be an obstacle to regular car place about 790 liters of luggage. Do not forget about the Maxi package, which can already accommodate 1,050 liters.

It is clear that the backs rear seats can be folded if necessary, which will allow you to get a large, almost perfectly flat loading platform, which in standard equipment has 3,200 liters, and in the extended version - 4,000 liters of free space.

Interestingly, based on the width of the tailgate at 1230 mm and the height of 20 mm more than in the previous version, i.e. 1250 mm, it will not be difficult for you to load / unload bulky items even in urban areas. A lot of work has been done to improve the quality of materials.

The engineering staff from Italy tried to do everything possible so that the improvements were visible and felt by customers. In past models, it felt like it was a real "cheap", but after restyling, everything changed.

The panel itself, installed in the center, has also changed, on which you can find an elegant LCD screen that supports touch input, motion sensors that are hidden behind the multifunctional steering wheel. By the way, the interior lighting has noticeably changed - it has become softer, not bright and less aggressive.

There is more than enough free space inside the Fiat Diablo. Seven people can comfortably fit in the car. In addition, the engineers provided for a trip with a rather big company, so the interior is full of various pockets and coasters.

In addition to the classic climate and cruise control system, the audio system has changed. As a result, you can enjoy the sound of music using Bluetooth and USB. Also in the updated van there is a dead zone monitoring system, a start-stop system, which is designed to reduce fuel consumption, as well as a vehicle stabilization system.

Specifications

Engine

But as for the technical characteristics, they almost remained unchanged. As an exception, it is worth mentioning the power units with a volume of 1.3 and 1.6 liters, which operate on diesel fuel. Especially for them, the filling was slightly moved so that the engines could better respond to pressing the accelerator.

In addition, this made it possible to reduce fuel consumption a little, to about 4.4 liters per hundred. In all other respects, as before, the car is available with a pair of petrol and 4 diesel engines. The 1.3-liter diesel engine produces 90 horses. It is followed by a 1.6-liter engine that produces about 110 horsepower.

Appetite given power unit also reduced to 4.8 liters per 100 km. Top power point, running on diesel fuel, has 2.0 liters and produces 135 horses. The van will reach 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds. The top speed is 180 km/h. The average diesel consumption will be at the level of 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers.

In addition, an “engine” operating on liquefied hydrocarbon gas was provided for the Italian family car. As a result, it produces about 120 horsepower and 206 Nm of torque.

Transmission

The diesel 1.3-liter 90-horsepower power plant works together with a five-speed manual gearbox. Thanks to all this, the Fiat Doblo car reaches the first hundred in 15 seconds, and the top speed is 156 km / h.

The 1.6-liter 110-horsepower power plant is synchronized with a 6-speed manual transmission. The car will reach the first hundred in 13.4 seconds, and the speed limit will hit 164 km / h. Also for the top "engine" is provided robotic box Dualogic gear shifting.

Suspension

Regarding the suspension, it is independent everywhere. If McPherson struts with coil springs are in front and transverse stabilizer, then at the rear - Dual-Link suspension with a double-lever architecture suspended on longitudinally mounted springs.

Steering

It is represented on a compact van by a rack and pinion steering mechanism, where there is a hydraulic power steering. Therefore, it is convenient to drive both a 2010 Fiat Doblo car and a 2017 car.

Brake system

Fiat employees put ventilated 284 mm discs on the second-generation Doblo restyled model. brake mechanisms in front and 228mm drum units in the rear. Regardless of what the configuration will be, ABS system is everywhere.

Dimensions

Speaking about Fiat Doblo dimensions, it is worth mentioning that there are two versions of the cab: standard and extended Maxi. Thus, the Fiat Doblo car is 4,390 (4,740) mm long, 1,845 mm high, and 1,832 mm wide. Wheelbase at the level of 2755 (3105) mm.

Safety

The new Doblò can be equipped with the most advanced security systems
TPMS
ESC
Traction+
TPMS

Cruise control with speed limiter
Traction+

TPMS

Tire pressure monitoring system. In the event of a puncture or insufficient pressure, it will immediately warn you with an indicator on the instrument panel.

ESC

The stabilization system immediately comes to the rescue in critical situations, for example, if you need to quickly go around a sudden obstacle. The system continuously monitors lateral acceleration, speed, wheel traction and steering angle. It processes this data in real time and, if necessary, immediately comes to the rescue: by changing the engine torque and engaging the wheel brakes, it effectively keeps the car on a stable trajectory.

Cruise control with speed limiter

Cruise control allows you to set the desired speed and then maintain it in automatic mode, which is very convenient when driving on the highway. The speed limiter allows you to set the maximum speed that the car will not exceed: this is very convenient in a city where many speed cameras are installed.

Traction+

“Traction +” is an innovative system that improves traction properties and patency of the car on slippery roads. It works in conjunction with the ESC system: if there is ice or other slippery surface under one of the drive wheels, the system immediately brakes this wheel, preventing it from slipping, thereby transferring torque to the adjacent wheel. This improves flotation and handling, providing better overall control stability.
