After we saw the
new generation Talento, Fiat introduces the all new Fiorino, a model that
already managed to reach 370.000 units sold since it was launched.
With a load
capacity of up to 2.8 m3 or payload capacity of up to 660 kg, the new Fiorino
has some new design features, including a new front bumper, new 15-inch wheel
covers and 15-inch, diamond finish, burnished alloy wheels. It has large rear
doors that open to 180 degrees and have ergonomic vertical handles that are
designed to be approached from either side.
Functional optional
equipment includes a folding retractable passenger seat which can be used as a
desk, or folded perfectly flat to carry objects of up to 2.5 metres in length.
Inside, the
redesigned steering wheel is available with remote stereo controls and leather
trim, as is and gear knob and boot. The instruments cluster gets new graphics
with permanent backlighting for better visibility and a new, more functional
storage compartment has been added to the dashboard. A new, five-inch, colour,
touchscreen infotainment system is also offered for the first time, with
Bluetooth, USB/AUX port and available satellite navigation and DAB radio.
The new engine
range features two turbo diesel 1.3 MultiJet II engines with 80 and 95hp as
well as a 1.4-litre aspirated petrol unit. The EcoJet version, which employs
fuel-saving technologies such as a Start & Stop system, an alternator and a
variable displacement oil pump, is appearing for the first time on the New
Fiorino.
Paired with a
Comfort-Matic robotised transmission, it achieves the goal 3.8L/100km on the
combined cycle with emissions of 100 grams of CO2 per kilometre, meaning a fuel
saving of up to 14 percent compared to the manual transmission without EcoJet.
The New Fiorino
offers all the safety systems of its predecessor: ABS with EBD, ESC complete
with ASR, HBA, Hill Holder, parking sensors and front and side airbags.
Orders for new
Fiat Fiorino open in mid-April with final pricing and specifications to be
announced closer to the vehicle’s UK launch.
