A few years ago, the first 2 minibuses from the Italian-French trio ("Citroen Jumper" and "Peugeot Boxer") entered the Russian market, where they are now being successfully implemented. But the 3rd participant - "Fiat Ducato" - was a little late with the debut. Why did this happen? The thing is that starting from 2007, Sollers produced the previous (second) generation of cars, and only after 4 years the production of these trucks was curtailed.
At the end of 2011, the company presented to the public its new generation of the Fiat Ducato car, the technical characteristics and design of which were no different from the above-mentioned Jumper and Boxer. In the spring of 2012, this minibus finally made it to Russia, where it is now being sold at full speed. As you already understood, today's article will be devoted to the third generation of this legendary truck.
Externalappearance
The exterior of the novelty has many new details. First of all, the minibus changed the front bumper, which now consists of several parts - the lower block of fog lights at the bottom, a chrome insert with the concern's logo in the middle and a huge radiator grille, which, together with the headlights, seems to stretch to the windshield. By the way, the windshield has slightly increased in size, which made it possible for the driver to fully control all the processes taking place in front of the car. And the new rear-view mirrors, which are now divided into several parts, allow you to follow the "tail".
Overall, the updated design and body structure, which has become more rounded, has a positive effect on the coefficient of aerodynamic drag.
What are the specifications? Fiat Ducato did not receive significant changes in the engine lineup. But now, compared to previous versions, they have become an order of magnitude more economical and productive. The manufacturer did not develop gasoline engines, only diesel in trim levels. Fiat Ducato is supplied with three units. The first engine has a power of 115 horsepower and a displacement of 2.0 liters. The second diesel engine, having a working volume of 2.3 liters, develops a capacity of 148 "horses". The engine range is completed by a motor with a power of 177 horsepower and a volume of 3.0 liters. All engines fully comply with the EURO-5 environmental standard, and their service interval has now increased to 20,000 km. In this way,specifications ("Fiat Ducato" under consideration) have become more advanced compared to the second generation.
By the way, all units are equipped with two types of mechanical transmissions for 5 and 6 steps. The manufacturer did not provide for the installation of automatic boxes.
Thanks to the fact that the novelty has such powerful technical characteristics, the 3rd generation Fiat Ducato boasts good fuel economy indicators. In the combined cycle, the van consumes about 6.5-8 (depending on engine power) liters per 100 kilometers.
Price
The cost of new minibuses of the third generation ranges from 700 thousand to 1 million 380 thousand rubles. Entrepreneurs paid tribute to such a pricing policy of the manufacturer and approved of the good technical characteristics. "Fiat Ducato" 3 generations is now an indispensable assistant in business.
