Fiat Professional has returned the mid-size Scudo van to the New Zealand market, and orders are now being accepted for deliveries to start at the end of January 2025.
The Fiat Ducato van has also received an update for the 2025 model year.
The Scudo features an eight-speed automatic and Euro 6D compliant Multijet III Turbo Diesel engine that delivers 106kW of power and 370Nm max torque, offering high efficiency and lower CO² emissions.
It can hold up to 6.6 cubic metres, measures 5.31m long by 1.94m, and provides a payload of 1329kg.
The Scudo has a tailgate lift and fixed window, dual sliding doors, a 10” touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a suite of safety technology, including lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning as standard. It is available in white with optional light grey, dark grey, and black paint. It starts at $59,990, including GST.
The Fiat Ducato lineup has been renewed for 2025 with an updated look, connectivity systems and next-generation ADA.
Available in LWB and XLWB (both mid-roof), the Ducato features a 2.2L multi-jet II Turbo Diesel Engine, which produces 130kW of power and 450Nm of torque. It is paired with a 9-speed Automatic.
The Ducato is also now available with more customer options, including converter vans, cab chassis for those requiring more personalisation, and a 12-seat minibus configuration for schools, clubs, sports teams, and tourism operators.
An optional Premium pack adds LED headlights with a cornering function, a techno dash design, and a 10” touchscreen. An optional safety pack includes enhanced safety/driver assistance features such as 360 park sensors, drowsy driver detection, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and more.
An optional Camper pack includes a digital cluster, wireless phone charger, 360 park sensors, and park assist, and will also be available to order on vehicles arriving next year.
The Fiat Ducato starts from $76,990 ORC, including GST, for the LWB, with vehicles available to test drive now.
Tourism operator Jucy Rentals has been a Fiat Professional fleet customer for the last two years.
Brendan McKenna, Chief Operating Officer of the Jucy Group (Travvia), says, “Doing business with the Fiat Professional team in New Zealand has been accessible from the get-go.
“They are responsive to servicing and maintenance requirements and offer us flexibility with delivery timing, ensuring we keep our fleet uptime high.
“We’re looking forward to adding more Ducatos to our Jucy fleet to provide our customers with the best innovation without losing the excellent reliability we’ve known over the past couple of years,” he says.
Jucy Group custom-built the interior of the Ducato to create their 4-berth ‘Cruiser’ Campervan.
The Fiat Professional range is covered by a 3-year/200,000km bumper-to-bumper warranty, which can be extended up to 6 years.
There is also a 5-year roadside assist and 8-year/unlimited km corrosion warranty, as well as 1, 2, and 3-year service plans.
