Technical Fiat Fiorino
It's not meant to rival the Doblo - just like the old Fiorino didn't compete with the Scudo. They're different sizes.
I think it looks awful - waaaay too much 'nose' on it - and it's identical to the French offerings in that class.
I really fail to see the advantage of sticking a few feet of plastic onto the front - why increase the overall length when it serves no purpose? They'd have been far better to have added the inches onto the van so at least you could carry larger items.

Because it's a shared design? Of course it gets the 1.3 90bhp multijet where as the french ones get a 80bhp 1.4 french diesel.
I don't know. I saw the ad & nearly puked, didn't bother reading the blurb.
Fiorino 75bhp 1.3 diesel, Citroen nemo (nemo ? WTF) & Peugeot Bipper - 70bhp 1.4 diesel or petrol (according to the review in the auto trader pullout.

Sorry, yes 75 for the Fiat and 70 for the Nemo and Bipper. Despite them having larger cc.
I think the new Fiorino is cute. Seen one on the road and it had a certain cheekyness about it.

Wacky and fun. The nose helps it to crash into pedestrians cheaply, if you get my meaning.
The Diesel will be interesting. The French 1.4 is good and economical; the Italian 1.3 is peaky but good, and is it so economical?
There is a replacement Doblo the same as the new French duo (Berlingo/ Partner) but with the usual nose job out next year.
All of these are built in the same factory in Turkey.
