Sharing technology across multiple models is nothing new, especially in the van sector where the previous generation Fiat Doblo had much in common with the 2012-2018 Vauxhall Combo since GM owned both companies at the time. Fast forward to today, and the vast Stellantis group now owns both Fiat and Vauxhall, so it made sense for both brands to continue their commercial partnership. This time, however, they\u2019re part of an even larger platform sharing scheme with the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Toyota Proace City, Vauxhall Combo and Fiat Doblo all offering very similar packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It sounds confusing, but it isn\u2019t really. All of these vans share the same silhouette, save for different front bumper designs, minor trim level variations, differing options and aftersales back-up. Externally, the Doblo has a smooth nose, and Fiat's latest corporate branding, but otherwise looks the spitting image of a Berlingo\u00a0\u2013 even the headlights are the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n Best small vans to buy 2023<\/li>\nThe Fiat Doblo comes in L1, Maxi L2 and Crew Van forms, along with a choice between a 1.2-litre petrol, two versions of a 1.5-litre diesel and an electric e-Doblo version with a 136bhp electric motor and a 50kWh battery mounted under the cargo floor. When you add the through-loading bulkhead (another option available with the Doblo's counterparts), there's up to 4.4 cubic metres of cargo space in the Maxi L2 version.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even the electric e-Doblo can pull a trailer up to one tonne and carry 800kg in L1 form\u00a0\u2013 that's not far off what's available with the standard Doblo, but with the added benefit of zero-emissions driving.<\/p>\n
Respectable fuel consumption and emissions make petrol and diesel Doblos cost-effective vans to run. The electric e-Doblo has a quoted electric driving range of 175 miles (although this will vary according to ambient temperature and payload), meaning less charging downtime for vans operating strictly urban routes. If you have to go farther afield, every version has up to 100kW of charging, meaning you can top up the battery using a high-voltage DC source from 0-80 per cent in half an hour.<\/p>\n

The electric e-Doblo costs considerably more than the regular petrol and diesel alternatives, although the same is true of all its EV van rivals. The upshot is that while it\u2019ll cost more to buy, you\u2019ll recoup that back in saved taxes, congestion charge costs, servicing and fuel costs\u00a0\u2013 if you avoid rapid charging. If you want a cheaper electric van, look at the electric version of Toyota Proace City, or, if you don\u2019t mind missing out on rapid charging, the basic Visia spec Nissan Townstar is available for even less money.<\/p>\n
