Fiat have refreshed their Doblo range for 2015. In comes a restyled front end including a new sculpted bonnet, headlamps, bumper, air intakes, and grille, while to the rear are new light clusters and body-coloured tailgate moulding.

To compliment the facelift is a new dark grey paint finish option, as well as new wheel designs. The 2015 model year Fiat Doblo also benefits from refinements to its gearbox, throttle response, and noise insulation.

All models in the range come with Electronic Stability Control, Anti-Slip Regulation, Hydraulic Brake Assist, Hill Hold, ABS with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, front airbags, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. The UK range has gained a new entry-level trim, Pop, which comes with Start&Stop, remote central locking, electric front windows, and 60/40 split rear seat, and with its 95bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine starts from £13,480 on-the-road. The mid-range MyLife trim level is replaced by the new Doble Easy model, which is priced from £14,650 and comes with body-coloured bumpers, front fog lights, body-coloured electric door mirrors, steering wheel mounted audio controls, and height-adjustable driver’s seat. The Doblo Easy has the option of a 105bhp 1.6-litre MultiJet2 petrol engine, with prices from £15,900. The Doblo Easy is also available as a special edition called the Easy Air, which for an extra £345 adds manual air conditioning, usually a £655 optional extra, while the £16,700 Doble Easy Dualogic model comes with Fiat automatic-manual transmission. The new top-of-the-range Lounge trim level gains air conditioning, 16-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, upgraded audio system, rear electric windows, electric folding door mirrors, leather-trim steering wheel and gear knob, dark tinted windows, and cruise control, and is priced from £17,980 for the 105bhp 1.6-litre MultiJet2 powered version. A Doblo Lounge Dualogic version, powered by the 90bhp 1.6-litre MultiJet2 petrol engine, is available for £18,780.

The current Fiat Doblo is the fourth generation of the model, which has amassed 300,000 sales since its launch at the turn of the millennium. The Doblo’s versatility is enhanced by twin sliding rear doors as standard, a choice of tailgate openings, and optional fold-flat front passenger seat. Five seat models boast 790-litres of boot space, rising to a voluminous 3,200-litres with the passenger seats folder flat.  The parcel shelf can carry loads of up to 70kg, and can be set to a number of different positions.

The new Fiat Doblo range will be available in UK showrooms from January.
