VERSIONS

Combi - A successful combination. The Ducato Combi is the commercial vehicle where space and functionality join forces to meet your every need most effectively.

It is the ideal solution for the transport of both people and goods, and can accommodated from 5 to 9 people.

Ducato Combi stands out for the functionality of the interior finish of the passenger compartment: the interior trim is agreeable, and carefully refined; four ceiling lights illuminate the environment and, for maximum functionality there is a useful storage compartment under the cab ceiling (in high roof versions). The central and back rows of seats can be folded, double folded and removed. A huge luggage compartment is equipped with a ceiling light and, on request, with a removable light.

LOADING CAPACITY

Combi - Space and functionality In its basic version, Fiat Ducato Combi has 5 seats, but it can also be had in configurations with 6 seats (by adopting a 2-seater bench at front) or 8 or 9 seats by fitting an extra row of seats. Both the central and the last row can be folded, double folded and removed to obtain a bigger load space as a function of your needs.

ENGINES

ENGINES

2.3 120 Multijet
Displacement 2287 cc
120 bhp at 3600 rpm
320 Nm at 2000 rpm

The new engine has been improved in many respects resulting in improved performances and higher torque, as well as lower running costs and greater profitability.

The 2.3 120 bhp Multijet has been designed for a long service life (300,000 km) and significantly longer maintenance intervals: oil and filter have to be changed every 45,000 km (5.5 lit. of oil) and the timing belt needs replacing every 240,000 km.

Thanks to the Multijet injection system, the engine delivers a max. power output of 120 bhp at 3600 rpm and a peak torque of 32.6 kgm at 2000 rpm, with a constant torque curve from 2000 to 2800 rpm.

These significant figures make the 2.3 Multijet into the ideal answer for mixed use: sturdy and with excellent performances, nimble in traffic, brilliant over long distances, it is perfect for the transport of people and the distribution of goods in a local area. Torque is so high it endows the vehicle with excellent pickup even on a heavy load.

The new engine adopts a cast-iron engine block base with built-in bearings resulting in minimised vibration. The glow plugs, placed directly in the combustion chamber, are controlled by the ECU and make it possible to achieve a drastic reduction in pre-heating time thereby reducing the stress the engine is exposed to in cold-starting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

COMFORT & DESIGN

Styled by business needs Signed by the Fiat Styling Centre, the design of the New Ducato has a streamlined appearance evoking the dynamism of high-speed trains. Italian style goes hand in hand with a rational, down-to-earth approach. Each and every design detail meets specific functionality and performance requirements.

The front bumper is a major element in the new design of the Ducato: strong, protective, wraparound, it consists of 3 parts that can be replaced individually if they get damaged in a crash, making for lower running costs.

Original and distinctive, the great headlamps make up a light cluster with a truly advanced look, projecting in the upward direction the dynamic lines of the front section. Their high position makes for optimised lighting and a reduced risks of their being damaged in the event of crash. The design of the front section, so compact and modern, expresses determination.

The vehicle sides feature clean lines and plenty of room for vehicle personalisation. Specially striking are the side mouldings that protect the bodyshell against small bumps.

The design of the rear section, with squared lines and the bumper connected to the side mouldings, gets across an impression of great sturdiness; distinctive, squared traits contribute to improved linearity and load space.

Inside, we find a car-like environment: the cab was fashioned with comfort as the prior consideration. The new inclination of the steering-wheel, the facia-mounted gearshift lever, the instruments legible at a glance and controls that can be readily reached and activated, make the driving comfortable and relaxing.

The driver’s seat can be adjusted longitudinally, for height and backseat inclination: the entire cab has been designed to welcome people of any build and to enable them to work most effectively.

Storage compartments, pockets, supports, writing boards and drawers help you to organise and keep at hand your documents and all the items you may need in your daily life, making the cab into a veritable mobile office.

To make the cab even more habitable, the engineering team worked on acoustic and vibration aspects to stop, absorb and dampen any noise or jolt directly at the source through ad hoc improvements to the suspension setup, the engines and the bodyshell, as well as through sound-proofing treatments. The results obtained are brilliant: interior noise in the Ducato cockpit is comparable to that of a medium-sized car.

Moreover, onboard climate is always ideal, thanks to a system designed for optimal distribution of air flows and the available of two climate control options (manual and automatic) and three extra heater configurations. Moreover, a reflecting windshield can also be had on request: it uses a laminated glass pane enclosing an invisible film of metal oxides that reflects a proportion of the solar energy, thereby reducing the heat that penetrates into the cockpit.

INNOVATIONS

Technology in your service Thanks to avant-garde technological solutions, Fiat Ducato makes your workday easier and safer.

Ultrasound parking sensors* give out a warning sound if there is an obstacle in the way when you are backing up, and a rear-mounted camera* makes parking easy in any circumstances by showing the area at the back of the vehicle on the display mounted on the oddments tray. With the Cruise Control* you can set and keep the desired speed. The windshield wipers and the lights are turned on automatically by rain sensors and twilight sensors*.

With Blue&Me™* you can make and take calls hands-free with your Bluetooth® cell phone without taking your eyes off the road and without having to put on annoying earphones.

Created by Fiat in collaboration with Microsoft®, Blue&Me™ can also be used to connect electronic devices such as different digital music players (MP3, WMA and Wave), enabling you to listen to your favourite music from the vehicle’s audio system.

Among the devices making for enhanced onboard wellbeing we should also mention the self-levelling rear suspension*, ensuring great comfort and stability in any loading condition. During loading/unloading operations, they make it possible to lower the rear loading threshold by another 7 cm.

SAFETY

Safety travels by Ducato 20000 hours of structural design work, 120 crash tests, hundreds of tests on components and subassemblies: these figures shed some light on the efforts made to increase even further the superior safety standards of the Ducato.

The vehicle has been designed to absorb small impacts most effectively. Occupant safety in the event of a crash is guaranteed by diversified bodyshell stiffness and a non deformable cockpit structure.

All seats* are equipped with three-point belts.
The dual stage driver airbag is supplied as standard.
Options include a 120 lit. passenger airbag - which will also protect a person seated in the centre of the two-seater bench -, side bags and window bags making for total protection.

Safety also means prevention. Even from this point of view, Ducato is at the forefront. The split circuit braking system with 4 disks is fitted with ABS with EBD.

The ESP, available on request, steps in to control vehicle swerving in critical conditions, e.g., when manoeuvring to avoid a sudden obstacle, and includes the Hill-Holder, to start on an incline without having to pull the handbrake, the HBA for increased braking force in panic braking, and the LAC (Load Adaptive Control), which monitors the conditions of the load so as to calibrate and optimise the operation of the ABS, the ASR and the ESP.

* Except for the central rear seats in crew cab versions.

STRONG POINTS
