"Fiat Doblo": description, technical characteristics, photos

First generation

Fiat Doblo was introduced to the international community in 2000. Initially, production was carried out by a subsidiary of Fiat Tofaş in Bursa (Türkiye). Turkish models have 3 types of engines:

1.4-liter petrol;
1.9-liter diesel MultiJet;
16-valve 1.3-liter MultiJet diesel.

The inexpensive commercial vehicle was in steady demand, especially in developing countries. To meet the growing shortage, assembly lines were launched in Brazil, Vietnam, Taiwan, North Korea (under the Ppeokkugi brand) and Russia (in Naberezhnye Chelny). In Singapore, the 1.4 liter Fiat Doblo is sold under the name “Panorama” in five and seven-seat versions.

Fiat Doblo

Fiat Doblo is a multifunctional 5- or 7-seater M class van, which is suitable for transporting goods for commercial purposes and for large families. 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 on 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 valued in the commercial segment.

Model history and purpose

1st generation

The premiere of the first generation Fiat Doblo took place in 2000. The car immediately received passenger and cargo modifications and several engine options (petrol, diesel, gas). The appearance of the first generation cannot be called flashy. The ancestors 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 clients and ordinary citizens. Fiat Doblo appeared quite late, but this had a tangible advantage. Italian developers could study the advantages and disadvantages of competitors, making their model cheaper and of higher quality.

1st generation

1st generation restyling

The first generation Fiat Doblo did not last long. In the spring of 2004, the car underwent restyling. Moreover, the modernized version received new engines, exterior and modifications. It retains the best features of the debut version: easy access to the interior, 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 headlight units have been replaced. The work of Italian designers was also noticed on the world market. In 2005, Fiat Doblo received an award at the RAI 2005 commercial vehicles 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 assembly was also carried out in Vietnam, Brazil and Russia (at 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 2020, 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 the new generation Fiat Doblo.

2nd generation

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 cargo-passenger “combi” version. The Fiat Doblo has received a completely new design, which makes it more individual. Among other representatives of the M segment, the “Italian” immediately stands out. A powerful front end with a large V-shaped radiator grille in the shape of a honeycomb, 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-tone headlight lenses.

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

2nd generation restyling

In 2020, the car underwent restyling. The main changes affected the exterior, which became more modern. The model is assembled at the Turkish Tofas plant, where special attention is paid to 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 area of application of the machine is transportation over short and medium distances.

Engine

Fiat Doblo is equipped with 4 types of power plants: a 95-horsepower gasoline unit or Multijet turbodiesels with a capacity of 90, 105 and 135 hp.

Diesel units are highly reliable and have worldwide recognition. In 2005, Multijet engines received the title “Engine of the Year”. The design of the installation includes technology patented by the Italian brand (high-pressure multi-phase injection). Due to this, the level of vibration and noise during fuel combustion is reduced. It also reduces harmful emissions and improves overall performance. The number of injection stages is adjusted based on the pressure and temperature inside the combustion chamber and the nature of the unit’s operation (cold start, warm engine, intensive acceleration). This ensures economical operation of the system. Another advantage of Multijet units is their compact size and low weight. All engines comply with Euro-4 standards.

Video reviews of Fiat Doblo

Device

Fiat Doblo is made according to the classic design for the Italian brand. At the front there is a monocoque body with a subframe, MacPherson struts, lower wishbones, shock absorber struts, and a stabilizer bar. All loads on the body 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 was selected with an eye to the best quality/price combination. Ventilated disc brakes are installed at the front, drum brakes at the rear. The picture is complemented by a classic mechanical handbrake and the presence of two safety systems as standard: ABS and ESP.

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

Fiat Doblo is one of the leaders in the segment in terms of functionality and spaciousness. The car's interior is impressive 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 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 a lot of large windows, and the sliding side doors are great for getting in (out) in tight spaces.

The car also has disadvantages:

The electrical and ignition system often fails.
The Fiat Doblo's suspension is quite strong. However, it 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 likelihood of breakdown increases sharply.
At the rear, leaf springs are used to withstand significant loads. But if the weight is constantly exceeded, they wear out quickly. The average replacement cost here is about 6,000 rubles per nib.
Quite often problems arise with sliding side doors due to wear and tear on the mechanism.
Corrosion of the exhaust system often occurs, and in later versions, rust also extends to the body.
Despite the good interior appearance, the plastics inside the car are hard and cheap. Creaking and crackling noises 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.

Reviews

Oleg, Yaroslavl: purchased a Fiat Doblo last year. I was choosing a family car and settled on this particular model on the advice of a friend. The car turned out to be incredibly roomy. There was room for 4 people in the back. In addition, I liked the design. The car has many advantages: compact dimensions, good sound insulation and high ground clearance. Fiat Doblo is also economical. The car consumed 5-6 liters per 100 km. Sliding doors came to the rescue at shopping centers, allowing loading in a very small piece of space. Several times I traveled by car outside the city with tents. You cannot find a better partner than Fiat Doblo. The entire load fit easily, and the ride was very comfortable. What didn't you like about the car? The model is offered only with a “mechanics”, the 1.4 liter engine is a little weak, and changing the air filter is extremely inconvenient. Otherwise, I was really pleased with the model.
User Arthur: The car was a godsend. My family loves to get out into nature and to the sea in their car. In this regard, the Fiat Doblo is almost ideal: tall, passable, undemanding and dynamic. You don't get tired on a long trip. Children fit comfortably in the back. The car’s engine is quite noisy, but you can put up with it, given the affordable price and low consumption - only 5.4 liters per 100 km. You simply cannot find a minivan cheaper than this car. I recommend.

The compact, economical and nimble assistant has a fairly large internal volume (3.2 m3) and a load capacity of 730 kg. It is based on the Fiat Strada platform, but unlike its predecessor, it has a simpler and more reliable rigid rear suspension with leaf springs.

We determine the real gasoline consumption of Fiat Doblo per 100 km

A distinctive feature of this model is the huge variety of power units that can be found under its hood. Naturally, fuel consumption figures will differ.

Article on the topic: What does power steering consist of and how does it work?

Here is what an official representative of the manufacturer says about this most important moment for commercial vehicles:

Engine volume is 1.3 liters. Fuel - diesel. Consumption in the city is from 6 to 6.7 liters. The track is no more than 4.8 liters. On average - 5.5 l;
Petrol power unit 1.4. In the city it should consume about 9.3 liters, outside of it - 6.2. In mixed mode – 7.2.

The Italian manufacturer decided to abandon the line of 1.5 engines, but immediately offered two options for 1.6 engines, giving people the opportunity to choose between a gasoline and diesel alternative:

Diesel. Consumption within a populated area – 6.8, on the highway – 4.7, mixed mode – 5.5;
Gasoline version. Must spend 11.1/7.2/9 liters of fuel for every hundred kilometers in city/highway/mixed modes.

The most powerful proposed version with a volume of 1.9 runs only on diesel fuel and has the following consumption indicators:

Operation in urban areas - from 7.5 to 9.2 liters.
Driving along the highway – from 4.8 to 6.
Driving in mixed mode - from 5.8 to 7.2.

This difference is due to the fact that the Italians, with an equal volume of diesel power unit, offered three engine options that differ in their power (63, 105 and 120 horsepower).

Unfortunately, many car enthusiasts note that some automakers sometimes provide fuel consumption information that may not correspond to reality. What is the situation with the veracity of information related to Fiat Doblo?

Electric cars

Following promising trends in the development of electric cars, the Italian one with the intriguing name All-Electric. The engine is powered by a conventional 18 kWh NairSafe (R) battery developed by Altairnano. A range of 300 km between recharges is quite enough for use in an urban delivery network.

The battery is charged in less than ten minutes using AeroViroments' 125 kW high-voltage system - so-called fast charging. The electric car is designed for an annual mileage of 45,000 km.

Second generation

In 2010, the new Fiat Doblo was released, also distributed under the Opel Combo brand. It is based on the Fiat Small platform with new independent suspension and a longer wheelbase.

The design traces the continuity of generations. The biggest changes to the exterior affected the head optics and radiator grille. The body has become more streamlined, and the glass area has increased. The luggage compartment volume is 790 liters in a five-seat configuration. The lowest emissions are observed in vehicles equipped with the 89 hp 1.3L Multijet 90 PS engine: it is 129 g/km.

Overall dimensions have also increased:

length: 4.4-4.75 m;
width: 1.83 m;
height: 1.84-1.88 m;
wheelbase: 2.75-3.1 m.

The new Doblo offers a range of safety and comfort features including ABS, Stability Control, Hill Descent Assistant, Automatic Climate Control, Cruise Control, Blue & Me multimedia messaging interface with integrated navigation and hands-free kit. The car offers an even larger and more practical interior with a sliding side door.

However, the manufacturer Fiat Doblo measures ground clearance as it suits it. The ride height of the Fiat Doblo is mm.

Complete information about the Fiat Doblo car. Sales advertisements from private owners and dealers, owner reviews, photographs, characteristics and prices.

In addition, the Fiat Doblo moves from a standstill with the accelerator pedal pressed deeply. Fortunately, the car's high ground clearance helps protect the components of the unit.

Convenient side sliding door. Mazda RX-8 is no longer 1.3. Very convenient for travel, there is somewhere to put bottles, a cool shelf above your head, very convenient for transporting dogs to shows. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t adjust the seat comfortably. Even with five crew members, the trunk volume is liters; by folding the second row, we can load liters of cargo.

Real ground clearance of Fiat Doblo

I was looking for spacers for Fiat Doblo! I would like to know if anyone has already installed such toys?! How do you feel after installation?! Increased front suspension clearance. Read this comrade BZ www. I looked into this issue, polyurethane is not very strong in our front suspension design, they are made of aluminum from Muscovite, with minor modifications they drill holes and cut off one edge.

But the spacer only increases the ground clearance but does not improve the suspension travel, sooner or later the bump stop will gouge, and the ride will be like on a stool... I installed new springs from diesel 1. It’s just that the engine in our car is too deep! And therefore the protection is quite low, it’s just a shame where the Lacetti passes calmly, I scrape the protection!

And the lachik is much lower than the doblik! I measured my butt. If you are ready to get suspended, then you can safely bet. The fact is that whoever made this car calculated everything. From this calculation, the suspension and bearings should move, for example. By increasing the ground clearance, you increase the load and resistance several times.

As a result, your suspension will shorten its service life by half. If you overtake a truck, there is a greater chance that it will be carried away. The gust of wind will also be very sensitive.

I’m not saying this because I want to say blah blah. I just experienced everything myself. And on your own Italian penny. After that, I live by the principle of don’t interfere with the machine’s work. And of course it’s up to you. I saw a Fiat Adventure Locked. It has high ground clearance. His chassis is designed for this overstatement.

Fiat is one of the oldest car manufacturing companies, founded in Italy in 1899. Currently part of the American concern Chrysler.

Other levers, steering, ball, silent. As they say, measure one cut 7 times. Lada Zolotaya Kopeika-Champion. Nissan Silvia V8 Cutie. Mazda RX-8 is no longer 1.3.
