New Fiat Fiorino Van

Fiat Fiorino is the smallest van the Italian company builds - sitting underneath the Fiat Doblo, Talento and Ducato. It's a compact one-box urban van, which offers more load capacity than a comparable car-based van like the Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsavan. The Fiorino is built alongside the Peugeot Bipper and Citroen Nemo. The three vans are nearly identical, only offering up slightly different front grilles.

According to Fiat's Italian designers, the exterior of the Fiat Fiorino Van has been redesigned with references to the rest of the fiat professional range design yet maintaining the model’s character with a modern and dynamic style. It has high projectors for great visibility and protection from crashes and a new bumper. Fiorino Van emphasizes the strong brand identity and dedication to the light commercial vehicles range.

Look no more, the new Fiorino Van is very well-connected. It has a new 7” touchscreen radio that includes BlueTooth, audio streaming, USB, dab, Apple Carplay support and Android auto™. You will never get lost if you upgrade the radio with a navigation system. The dashboard gives you total control to make your phone calls without taking your hands off the wheel.

Fiorino Loadspace

Ideal as a business van, the new Fiorino makes impressive use of compact space and has a load compartment volume of up to 2.8 m3. The access was made easy thanks to the wide sliding side door with ergonomic vertical handles, which is very handy. Fiorino has an amazing capacity of up to 610 kg and a regular square shape. The 180° rear door opening grants you easy and convenient access to the loading bay. The load threshold height is just 527 mm. Finally, a 9.95 m turning circle provides great handling.

Do you need to carry a great load? The new Fiorino Van will not disappoint you.

SAFETY

It includes a hill holder for those tricky hill starts and parking sensors. The front airbags and front side airbags protect both the head and chest. For those of you who love the highway, cruise control helps you maintain total control while driving. 

But the new Fiat Fiorino Van also has traction: an aid for driving and setting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.), allowing the driving force to be distributed over the same axle when both wheels are slipping. It brakes the wheels with poor grip, transferring the driving force to those which have more grip on the ground.

Do you want to customise your van according to your imagination? This Fiat is ready to meet your demands. You can choose between 11 body colours and 3-seat fabrics, all designed to enhance passenger comfort.

 With very few major reliability problems to report, the Fiat Fiorino can suffer from top suspension mount issues, but other than that these vans are solidly built. The Fiat van was developed jointly with Peugeot and Citroen and all three versions of the small van have proved reliable.

FIORINO TOP GEAR REVIEW

The Fiorino is not intended as a long-distance motorway cruiser, though the van copes well with higher-speed inter-urban travel. It excels in town and on local country roads, where the compact dimensions, lively engine performance and quick steering make the Fiat an enjoyable van to drive.

The short wheelbase and load-carrying suspension can make the ride a bit choppy when unladen, but the Fiorino holds the road well. The five-speed manual gearbox is light and easy to use, while the Comfort-Matic automated gearbox makes reasonably smooth progress.
