It’s not the most exciting of vehicles, but our spy photographers have snapped the next-generation Fiat Doblo being put through its paces ahead of its launch next year.
As with the current model, both commercial and passenger versions will be available.
The new Doblo will be the bigger sister to the recently unveiled Fiorino Qubo and will compete against the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Renault Kangoo.
The engine range will be familiar from other Fiat offerings, with most versions likely to ship with MultiJet diesels.
The current Doblo was introduced in 2001 and, although it has sold steadily rather than spectacularly in Europe, it’s turned into something of a ‘world car’ in other developing automotive markets through localised production. Fiat currently builds it in Brazil, Turkey (with Tofas), Russia (with Severstal-Auto) and Vietnam (with Mekong).
A version of the Doblo is even sold in North Korea as the Pyeonghwa Ppeokkugi. (Thanks to Autocar for News and Pictures).
