Fiat doblo station wagon specifications. Specifications "Fiat Doblo" and an overview of two generations of cars

The Fiat Doblo model has gained great popularity in the small business segment due to its excellent build quality and good handling.

The updated Fiat Doblo first appeared before the general public in September 2014. In fact, the model is the first planned restyling of the second generation, which debuted back in 2009.

Externally, the previous Doblo model looked quite brutal and stocky. The new version has acquired an updated stylish front bumper from Italian designers. There have also been huge changes to the headlights, with the headlights positioned higher to protect them from damage during minor crashes. The cab and rear end have not been changed.

The car is produced in two versions: a Doblo Cargo cargo van and a Doblo Combi passenger version.

In the cabin

Fiat Doblo has a modern and ergonomic interior. All control systems are grouped so that they can be easily accessed. There is a multifunctional steering wheel, a multimedia system with radio, Bluetooth, AUX and USB, large air vents that provide high air conditioning and heating efficiency, a classic instrument panel, and many compartments for storing small items. Interior decoration is made of high quality materials.

Technical data Generations of Fiat Doblo

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. The entire range of 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. Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner are considered the progenitor of the car.

Fiat Doblo first generation

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, creating their own car cheaper and better.

Car history

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. Given all this, the appearance of 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 Fiat Doblo of the 1st generation took the award at the RAI 2005 commercial vehicle exhibition. According to the results of the competition, 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, the domestic market sold only upgraded versions of cars 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

Among other things, the new version of the compact van has become less suitable for a bad road. The designers decided to get rid of the increased ground clearance in the direction of comfort and a soft 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 a popular model in the used car market. Unusually, the expensive version of the universal machine of the 2nd family is not in such demand. The Italian design department was able to reward the family car with a bright and distinctive exterior.

Against the background of a mediocre past family in external terms and the already familiar appearance of the main rivals in the role of the Volkswagen Caddy, Renault Kangoo and Citroen Berlingo Multispace, the new 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 “torso” 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. Installing a glass of a huge area, which continues with an insert of plastic, which received a glossy surface and black color, was a very original solution, which gives the rear part airiness and lightness.

With the help of high vertical sections of marker lights, which are located on the racks, as well as a compact bumper, the neat style of the Italian family car is emphasized. When choosing a family minivan, the potential owner is often initially interested in the size of the interior 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 used solutions that are 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. The 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 horsepower.

Together with a five-speed manual transmission, 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 how busy the vehicle is. 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 diesel engines have received a Start / Stop system, which allows you to achieve such a modest consumption of diesel fuel.

2 liter engine

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 could already be purchased in the Russian Federation this year. 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 car is a cargo-passenger minivan of the 2nd family, and received a 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 of the 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 for the 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 moment that all passengers are seated in their places, this will not be an obstacle to placing about 790 liters of luggage in a regular car. Do not forget about the Maxi package, which can already accommodate 1,050 liters.

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

Interestingly, based on the rear tailgate width of 1230 mm and a 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

power unit

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.

1.3 liter diesel engine

The appetite of this power unit was also reduced to 4.8 liters per 100 km. The top diesel power plant 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-end “engine” a robotic Dualogic gearbox is provided.

Suspension

Regarding the suspension, it is independent everywhere. If there are McPherson struts with coil springs and a transverse stabilizer in front, then in the back there is a 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 disc brakes at the front and 228 mm drum units at the rear on the restyled second-generation Doblo model. Regardless of what the equipment will be, the 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

In order to ensure safety, the body component has zones with programmed deformation and amplifiers in the side doors. Both bumpers also have built-in elements with programmed deformation, and the belts for the seats installed in front come with a customizable top mount.

The anti-lock braking system has four channels that will give you a quiet ride along with the brake force distribution system and airbags (front and side). The main security systems are:

• Front body part with programmed deformation zones;
• The presence of a pedal assembly that collapses upon impact;
• Telescopic steering shaft and protection of the driver's legs;
• Amplifiers in the doors;
• Fire prevention systems;
• Three-point seat belts with height adjustment;
• Three-point belts are also installed on the rear seats;
• The presence of head restraints on all chairs;
• Four-channel anti-lock braking system;
• Front side airbags.

Equipment with various security systems can be selected when buying a car. The necessary passive safety equipment that we mentioned above (energy-absorbing zones and so on) is supplemented by standard airbags, side airbags that protect the chest and head of the driver and front passenger. They also provided a stabilization system, a dead zone control system. Similar elements are installed on both the Fiat Doblo Cargo and the Fiat Doblo Panorama.

Prices and equipment

As before, the car of Italian origin Fiat Doblo will come in modifications with 2 and 3 rows of seats. The starting equipment 1.4 Active MT with a 1.4-liter gasoline power unit and a manual 5-speed gearbox will go from 786,500 rubles.

The 1.4 Active + MT package with the same engine and gearbox is estimated at 818,000 rubles. 1.4 Dynamic MT with the same specifications will come with a price tag of 866,500 rubles.

It is clear that premium equipment will not be in a car that is intended for commercial use. However, the level of equipment is in a fairly solid position. The standard equipment includes:

• Standard audio system with Active Matrix screen;
• USB support;
• bluetooth;
• iPod;
• Advanced multimedia system;
• Color touch display with a diagonal of 5 inches;
• Navigation system;
• Front airbags;
• Side airbags;
• Security systems;
• ABS, EBD, ESC, ASR, HBA;
• Assistance systems when starting uphill;
• Electric windows on all doors;
• LED fog lights;
• Light and rain sensors.

Competitors

The new Fiat Doblo has few rivals in the universal car market. For example, you can bring Toyota Alphard, which perfectly combines style, quality and space.

According to these parameters, the Japanese outperforms the Italian. But it is worth noting that Toyota also costs much more than Doblo. However, there is something to pay for here. In addition, there are , and .

tuning

Upgrading the Fiat Doblo is worth doing even if you want to customize a spacious vehicle to suit your own needs. The first thing to do is soundproofing. Doblo's car was able to establish itself as an excellent car not only for work, but also for family trips.

The car was equipped with almost everything required for comfortable movement in the city and outside the city. But during the production of the compact van, for some reason, the Italians did not equip their car with high-quality noise insulation.

In the event that you work on this car, you can skip such a flaw, but if you often go on vacation with family or friends, then extraneous sounds and noises inside the Italian begin to annoy a little. It’s good that changing the “Shumka” inside Doblo is not so difficult and you can do it yourself. To do this, you need to:

• Powerful building hair dryer;
• Small rolling roller;
• scissors;
• white spirit;
• Small bolts for better fixation of the material on the body.

After the necessary tool and the place of work is ready, you can go shopping for soundproofing material. You should not hurry with the choice, because the choice of materials is quite huge, but not all of them are suitable for tuning the cabin of your family car. Also, do not forget about Vibroplast Silver.

Some drivers talk about the unstable operation of power units on their own cars. Therefore, as the best option to improve engine performance, you can flash the ECU.

This option will help to properly optimize the functioning of the “engine” and other machine systems. And the price will be less than that of the turbine - about 15,000 rubles, no more. If you do such work yourself, then as a result the work will cost 7,000 - 8,000 rubles at all.

Tuned Fiat Doblo

In addition to all this, you can make external tuning for your car, which will allow you to stand out among the city crowd. Among other things, there are the presence of protective bars, overlays for door handles, elegant overlays for thresholds, overlays for exterior mirrors and stylish moldings.

In addition, you can install a Fiat Doblo roof rack, mudguards, hood deflector, window deflectors, daytime running lights, rear and front protection.

Summing up

The update that touched the Fiat Doblo was able to improve the already existing good impression of this car. The appearance has become more graceful and pleasant, LED lighting has appeared. The car began to look fresher. Inside, the quality of the materials used has also improved.

A 5-inch screen has appeared, which also supports touch input, and this is standard. Free space, as before, abound. The luggage compartment is simply huge and is the leader among such machines. The company did not forget about comfort, having provided the car with everything necessary.

The good news is that you can optionally install a third row of seats. The company did not forget about ensuring the proper level of security. The compact van is famous for its good visibility and high seating position, which makes it easy to follow the road and all the necessary information on the dashboard.

Thanks to the convenient side doors, you can sit down or load / unload some things from the car even in a very narrow place. The power units, although not the most powerful, do their job quite well, while providing low fuel consumption. It's nice that the van, even in the basic configuration, has a rich list of functions.

The Fiat Doblo car is perfect not only for commercial use, but also for a large family and travel. Although, all the same, the car is not yet without flaws. For example, workers were unable to significantly improve noise isolation.

Test Drive

Video review

FIAT Doblo, 2012

This is my second FIAT Doblo. The car is just class, especially for big drivers. On the first car, I drove 140 thousand km in two years. There was everything, I will not lie. A rubber ring was leaking at the pump, they changed it 6 times under warranty, nothing helped, and then it went away on its own. In principle, it is better to add and not suffer - a lot will still not flow out. The 1.4 petrol engine is basically reliable, but the oil "eats" at a speed of more than 3,500. Between maintenance, it takes up to 2.5 liters of oil. It's not a bug - that's how it's supposed to be. The second trouble is the clutch twitches, these are low-quality parts, therefore, if this happens before a run of 30 thousand km, change it under warranty, then for your hard-earned money. Spare parts in St. Petersburg in bulk, and inexpensive. When I replaced the clutch with the officials, after 15 thousand it started to twitch again - I decided to finish it off and drove 80 thousand - the disk collapsed. The third clutch came across normal, otherwise I already began to think that all FIAT Doblos are so “twitchy”. The gearbox itself worked great all the time.

The third problem with the FIAT Doblo is the suspension. Almost immediately it starts to go hard. Here the reason is the insufficient amount of lubricant, or rather, the almost complete absence of it in the ball bearings. The problem was solved radically, because. didn't want to take anything apart. I took a large syringe, poured engine oil into it and pumped it directly through the rubber into the ball joint. Believe it or not, the FIAT Doblo has a very soft suspension, even in cold weather. If you change the ball joint, then immediately fill it with grease. With a rigid suspension, it breaks the upper supports of the front struts already after 20 thousand km. Despite some shortcomings, the car suits me completely.

Advantages : nice, practical car.

Flaws : poor-quality spare parts come across.

FIAT Doblo, 2010

The new FIAT Doblo impressed with its spaciousness, but since the car was bought for every day, they chose a long base, five seats and a 1.6 liter diesel engine (105 “horses”). In general, the car for 11,000 km of run proved to be a very good worker, harsh, but in moderation, the springs are now in the back and, as I understand it, it is noticeably better than the spring. The suspension is certainly not a Volkswagen Passat (this is my second car), but you can ride. It enters corners well, but is weak on breakdown. The review is not bad, but it would not hurt to raise the seats higher, the engine has proven itself in winter, good start-up in cold weather, only the fuel filter is very sensitive to fuel, and it is not cheap. Oil does not “eat”, fuel consumption is on average 6.5 liters, I think this is the norm, but on the highway at 90 it is possible to keep within 5 liters. The engine is “responsive”, which sometimes wonders how such a modest motor can easily drag a two-axle trailer with 1200 kg on board, but this is a fact and believe me, I am satisfied. Salon FIAT Doblo convenient for its transformation, the rear seats fold separately, which allows you to maneuver the rear space. Air conditioning works well, in winter the interior heats up for a long time, but still tolerable. The gearbox is certainly not a sport, but 6 gears pleases with a reasonable distribution of gear ratios, to add clarity and information content.

Advantages : attractive price, nice design, novelty, spaciousness.

Flaws : weak but tolerable suspension, expensive service.

FIAT Doblo, 2010

So, FIAT Doblo 2, 2010 onwards, 1.3 Multijet, 90 horses, euro 5 with start / stop function, with a mileage of 75,000 km. Dashed already 12,000 km. I will compare with the "Doblo" of the previous generation. The difference is felt immediately as you get into the salon, it seems visually larger. When driving, the car behaves differently, it is softer on the go (a merit of an independent rear suspension). The steering wheel turns more, the previous one is sharper and shorter, but you don’t experience discomfort from this, it’s even better on the highway, it is adjustable in 2 planes, it’s convenient. There is as much space in the back as in the first one, but it does not shake when driving, passengers do not get tired of driving around the city and over long distances too. The tunnel in the middle is smaller, it is practically non-existent. The front seats are also more comfortable, lateral support is more pronounced. Under the front seats, there are air ducts for heating the rear row, there is also an air duct in the center, now it will be warmer for passengers to ride in the back in winter. The torpedo is more fun, the “tidy” was slightly refreshed. Now it shows the temperature overboard, it wasn’t on the previous one (at least in the working one). There was an interval of the rear wiper, does not annoy on long trips in the rain. About consumption - I get in the city (Moscow) - 8 liters per hundred, on the highway - 6 liters of diesel fuel. The car runs merrily, overtaking is also no problem, either empty or loaded, the diesel does the job well. This is my first diesel. Clearance, they write 180 for both, but the previous FIAT Doblo will be taller, both visually and in fact. We go to nature, where I drove without looking at the worker, I catch on the “second” FIAT Doblo, I have to be more careful. During the operation, I replaced the oil, filters, brake pads front and front springs, both. I did not understand, either I bought it with broken ones, or I broke it myself. I'm getting ready to replace the glow plugs, the light blinked after starting the engine. Here you have to remove the turbine, it is just above the candles. In general, I am satisfied with the car, really versatile, family car.

Advantages : universal car. Comfortable. Soft.

Flaws : acoustic noise.

FIAT Doblo, 2010

The Fiat Doblo fascinates me with its Italian design, big headlights, big wheels, stylish interior and it is the largest car in its class. I got an excellent FIAT Doblo (albeit in white) in a rich configuration for a truck with 80 thousand mileage and the smell of a new car inside, a booth with a small scratch on the floor also evokes the feeling of a new car. The car came from Hamburg at a nice price, and the decision was almost peremptory. Engine 1.6 was very surprised. It feels like, I think, many will agree with me - this is gasoline 2.5-3.0. With a mass of 2000 kg, it simply “hurricanes”, especially 3-4 gears, 1-2, nevertheless, they make it clear what class of car you are driving. Suspension will work softly, the pedal comes confidently. In general, FIAT Doblo should not be compared with my predecessor because they are completely different. The equipment includes air conditioning, an on-board computer, power windows, heated rear window mirrors, two airbags, a START-STOP system, factory parking sensors, an armrest, two airbags, seat steering wheel height adjustment, a pleasant menu (but no Russian language), cooled glove compartment.

Advantages : stylish look. Kind salon. Equipment. Soft suspension.

Flaws : not seen.

Fiat has an old tradition of giving all commercial vehicles the names of old coins: Ducato is a ducat, Fiorino is a florin, and Doblo is, respectively, a doubloon. The multifunctional Fiat Doblo has been one of the most successful commercial vehicles in the Fiat range since it was launched in 2000. Doblo is very rational and incredibly flexible in operation. The car is produced in two basic trim levels (SX and ESX) and in several body styles, from a utility all-metal Cargo van to a Minibus minibus. The first generation Doblo sold over 300,000 units.

In the spring of 2004, the model was upgraded. The heir received everything new - a new design, new engines and even new versions. All the best that Doblo had has been preserved and become even better - a huge trunk volume, very convenient access to the cabin, the ability to withstand a lot of weight.

The range of engines was updated in 2004 - petrol 1.2 l 8V in versions 8V (65 hp, 102 Nm) or 16V (80 hp, 118 Nm) or 1.6 l 16V (103 l .s., 145 Nm) on gasoline or gas remained unchanged, the 63-horsepower diesel engine was replaced by a new modern turbocharged engine 1.3 l R4 16V (70 hp, 180 Nm), and the 1.9-liter JTD turbodiesel began to develop 105 hp and 200 Nbm. The equipment includes hydraulic booster, ABS, air conditioning and an audio system with CD.

Appearance Doblo corresponds to the latest fashion trends. The imposing and imposing front gives the impression of power and energy. Modern headlights, V-shaped grille design give the car an elegant look. The rear design is full of innovative features: two-tone taillight lenses, a new rear bumper with wide side stripes for added protection.

Doblo impresses with its comfort, maneuverability, spacious cargo area, abundance of options and high level of safety. Combining elements of a minivan and a commercial van, the Doblo is equally perfect for the family and for the aspiring businessman. Modern design and color solutions, high-quality interior trim make Doblo a car that attracts the eye.

High body (1800 mm) and sliding side doors provide maximum capacity and ease of entry. And thanks to excellent visibility and excellent handling, the driver can always control the situation on the road. The two-colour instrument panel, center console gearshift knob and ergonomic seats provide maximum comfort and safety for driver and passengers.

Oversized cargo is not a problem for Doblo Cargo. No car in this class has more room and load capacity. Wide sliding side and rear hinged doors provide access to the cargo compartment from almost all sides, which greatly facilitates and speeds up the process of loading and unloading. In its normal state, its volume is 750 liters, and if you fold the rear seats, the volume of the luggage compartment increases to 3000 liters.

The latest generation Doblo also received a version with an extended wheelbase, known as MAXI - it is 38 cm longer than usual. The maximum load of such a car is 850 kg with a driver. Another version is the 5-seater Combi. All versions are available in 12 colors, 8 of which are metallic, and with a wide range of basic and optional equipment, including a Bluetooth system and a satellite anti-theft system.

The upgraded version of the Fiat Doblo, the production of which will begin in Russia, was recognized as the best light commercial vehicle of the year - 2006 (Van of the Year 2006). The jury members highlighted the Fiat Doblo Cargo's advantages of class-leading loading space, high payload, comfort, ergonomics, as well as highly efficient powertrains and enhanced functionality.

OAO Severstal-Auto has signed a license agreement with Fiat Auto for the production of Doblo in Russia. The production of this model will begin in 2007 at the facilities of OAO ZMA.

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.

Fiat Doblo is not very common in the Russian market. 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 Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner. It was after their appearance in the early 1990s that interest in cars of this class began to grow among commercial customers and among 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 a manual transmission were sold on the domestic market, 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 car is based on the new Fiat Small Wide platform. The car was offered in 4 versions: a small truck, a passenger minivan, a cargo van and a combi variant. Fiat Doblo received a completely new design that made it more individual. 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. The rear is also full of innovative features: a redesigned 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 is paid to the quality of the assembly.

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.

Device

Fiat Doblo is made according to the classic scheme for the Italian brand. In front are a load-bearing body with a subframe, MacPherson struts, lower wishbones, suspension struts, anti-roll bar. All body loads are transmitted through 3 separate points. The rear suspension of the latest version of the 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.

The brake system is chosen with an eye to the best combination of quality / price. Ventilated disc brakes are installed at the front, drum brakes at the rear. The classic mechanical handbrake and the presence of two security systems in the basic configuration complete the picture: ABS and ESP.

Fiat Doblo is offered in front-wheel drive. On the Russian market there are only versions with a 5-speed manual gearbox. In the latest generation of the car, the transmission received significant changes that improved the response time.

Fiat Doblo is one of the segment leaders in terms of functionality and spaciousness. The interior of the car impresses with the amount of space for luggage and passengers. At the same time, the interior looks very original. The front panel, available in 2 colors (dark gray and light), has received many compartments that allow you to store various items. The trunk of the car is gigantic, and the seats are comfortable and pleasant to the touch. The upholstery of the door panels almost completely covers the metal surfaces. The Fiat Doblo has plenty of large windows, and the sliding side doors are great for getting in (out) in tight spaces.

The car also has disadvantages:

1. The electrical and ignition system often fails.
2. The suspension of the Fiat Doblo is quite strong. However, she does not always cope with Russian roads. Knocked-out ball joints and broken struts are expensive. It is especially not recommended to overload the car, since in this case the probability of a breakdown increases dramatically.
3. In the rear, leaf springs are used to withstand significant loads. But with a constant excess of mass, they wear out quickly. The average replacement cost here is about 6,000 rubles per pen.
4. Quite often there are problems with side sliding doors due to the wear of the mechanism.
5. Often there is corrosion of the exhaust system, and in later versions, rust goes along the body.
6. Despite the good interior appearance, the plastic inside the car is hard and cheap. Squeaking and crackling constantly accompany the driver during the trip.

Despite a number of shortcomings, Fiat Doblo is considered one of the most reliable cars in its class.
