The interior and exterior styling of the Nuovo Doblò Cargo has been completely revised on the basis of a decidedly car-like template. From the more modern and distinctive front end with a new bonnet (with more sweeping lines that match the curvature of the roof), the updated features include new bumpers, a bigger front grille, and new tail-light clusters that emphasise the horizontal lines of the body. Also the 16" wheels and integral hub caps have been completely redesigned.

In terms of performance the new vehicle retains the Bi-link independent rear suspension for incredible comfort and best in class handling in all driving conditions, irrespective of the payload. The range also extends to include the new "EcoJet" version - equipped with the 90 hp Multijet II 1.3 or 105 hp Multijet II 1.6 - which combines reduced running costs and low fuel consumption (improvement of up to 15%).

All Euro 5+ certified, the diesel engines are from the second generation MultiJet family, a byword for technology, performance and economy. Compared to the first generation MultiJets, the fuel supply system is now equipped with faster injectors able to execute multiple injections in rapid succession. The MultiJet II system's new servo valve with balanced plunger enables it to deliver up to 8 injections per cycle, offering greater speed, flexibility and precision in the various operating phases. In addition, fuel injection pressure on the Multijet II engine has been boosted to 1800 bar and the new injector type makes it possible to develop increasingly advanced combustion optimisation strategies, such as injection rate shaping to improve the combustion process for quieter running and reduced particulate and nitrogen oxide (Nox) emissions.

In terms of specifications, the Multijet II 1.3 litre turbodiesel (75 and 90 hp) delivers maximum torque of 200 Nm at just 1,500 rpm for lively acceleration. Both power versions share the same superb driving experience, bright performance, low noise levels, low running costs (consumption and maintenance), impeccable reliability and environmental respect. Top speed for the 90 hp Multijet II 1.3 is 158 km/h, while combined cycle fuel consumption is 4.4 l/100 km (Ecojet short wheelbase Cargo version) with CO2,emissions of just 115 g/km (Ecojet short wheelbase Cargo version). Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 13.6 seconds. The figures for the 75 hp version are, respectively, 145 km/h, 4.8 l/100 km and 126 g/km (short wheelbase Cargo version with Stop&Start with 0 to 100 km/h in 15.7 seconds.

Available with Comfort-Matic robotised gearbox, the 90 hp 1.6 litre version is the perfect solution for customers seeking the sweet spot between environmental respect and low running costs without relinquishing power and flexibility. The Nuovo Doblò Cargo 90 hp Multijet II 1.6 has a top speed of 158 km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 15.3 seconds, and returns combined cycle fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures of 4.9 litres/100 km and 130 g/km respectively (values for the short wheelbase Cargo version with S&S).

Combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the 100 hp or 105 hp Multijet II 1.6 offers high maximum torque (290 Nm), which is particularly welcome since it's on tap starting from engine speeds of just 1,500 rpm. In this configuration the Nuovo Doblò Cargo 105 hp Multijet II 1.6 offers exceptional performance - top speed of 164 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in 11.6 seconds - with reduced CO2 emissions and lower fuel consumption (combined cycle figures of 124 g/km CO2and 4.7 litres/100 km for Ecojet short wheelbase Cargo versions).
