The new Fiat Doblo Cargo is International Van of the Year 2011 “. Key to the victory, the variable platform strategy. “The Fiat Doblo Cargo is offered with a larger number of wheelbases and body variants than any competitors,” said jury chairman Pieter Wieman.

The series not only offers a version with an extended wheelbase and high roof, but is also available as a chassis with flat bottom, a pickup truck and with werksseitigem Frigo. She sits in many areas of best values in the segment.

The jury was also impressed by the wide range of engines, which also includes a natural gas engine with turbocharger and an electric version. And finally convinced the high ride comfort and secure handling.

As a world premiere at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show Fiat (23, -30.9.2010), two variants with newly developed bodies. Thus the Fiat Doblo Cargo is now offered at the factory with flatbed and refrigerated cell. The compact pickup with a four-square-foot cargo area and a payload of maximum 1000 kg will in particular in urban areas to new uses.

By using the new material for the Fiat Doblo Diorite the cargo is also available cold room around 25 percent lighter than comparable systems. With a payload of 600 kilograms and a load volume of 6.0 cubic meters of construction allows the transport of temperature sensitive products at up to -20 degrees Celsius.

The main problem of this car lies not in himself, but in the minds of Russian Motorists. The first I heard from a second brother had learned from matchmaker, Ivan Semenovich complained Pyotr Stepanovich – that’s an image for FIAT.

Concern Fiat – the owner of luxury brands: Everyone knows Ferrari and Maserati. There are more Alfa Romeo and Lancia. More Fiat – this is the greatest team of Formula 1. “Marche FIAT, named after the most famous group, went to the historical fate of small mass of cars, even with advertising from the Michael Schumacher . In the big business of Fiat Auto, Russians do not believe – and that the worst thing a chance to test this car for Russian buyers is small. FIAT Croma – wagon, not cheap (about one million rubles), competitors in the sedan for the money a lot – they can not be better, but the traditionally popular – information about them is transmitted by word of mouth. Large wagon Croma even impossible to see on the streets, not like to get information about it from friends.

Then why do Fiat keeps this model in the market – to support the image of any car manufacturer? But the chances of FIAT Croma used inefficiently.

By the old FIAT Croma in 2005 and did not want to be approached. Weird body proportions have been marred by trivial headlights, grille and a simple slot in the front bumper. All strongly and concisely – and just as unattractive. New design front end completely changed the perception of the car. Perhaps, in 2008, Fiat had the most successful restyling of the year. New lights were removed heaviness Chuck, and the front bumper of complex shape made the car more modern and attractive. Weird body proportions have not gone away, they declare the functionality of the car, spacious interior and large trunk. And indeed a versatile length 4756 mm trunk volume is 500 liters and 1610 liters with the rear seats folded.

FIAT Croma, incidentally, the only model of D-class, which once was born as a station wagon and has in its arsenal sedan. Okay Europe consumes almost half of the D-segment cars in the form of universals, but the growing Russian market accepts only sedans.

Today, FIAT Croma is proposed in the Russian market with only one engine – a 4-cylinder 2.2-liter gasoline engine with 147 hp For one and a half car this engine is not enough – overclocking is not impressive either driver nor reader passport data in the brochure – 10,9 sec. up to 100 km / h.

But if you have no hurry, then FIAT Croma on the machine will give you a great comfortable ride, but still with a bunch of junk in the trunk. The most pleasant thing in the Croma – swim bricks: a passenger with a fresh newspaper in his hands did not even notice the change of smooth asphalt coating, from which the usual “dance” of the letter. Consumption of atmospheric engine – passport 13.0 l/100 km in the city. In real life, when no hurry, measured “float” can be at 12 liters per 100 kilometers.

FIAT Croma leather interior is pleasant, not upsetting the quality, but does not spoil the original solutions and an abundance of beautiful glove compartment. Classic design with wood accents is quite conservative, from Fiat still like to expect something more “bright”. Of the strange features ergonomic Croma: a key is inserted in the center console as well as a Saab. Explain this decision may be a common past models FIAT Croma and Saab 9000/9-5 . Once these models differ in practice only logos. First time hitting the steering wheel Croma, you can not find the function heat seats, but it is there – should palpate the left front edge of the seat. The second time heating is switched easily. Emotion in the machine configuration for 1,050,000 rubles has a fine. All you need in a car of this class and price – everything is there. Plus dual-zone climate control, xenon headlights color, nine airbags, including driver’s knee airbag cushion, cruise control and a huge glass sunroof during the entire roof. Not all competitors have these features. But not all competitors can offer such a high and bright interior.

Space separates the passenger compartment from the trunk network. Thing is, no doubt useful, but rarely needed (except in the case of constant driving with his beloved dog in the trunk). However, each time to dismantle the luggage rack elementary laziness, so you have to look at the world behind the car through the picture in the box, driving unpleasant associations.

Symbiosis of comfort and functionality FIAT Croma recommended suburban, travelers to Europe, and especially in Italy – there will appreciate the most expensive Italian FIAT. But if you live here in Russia, and the opinions of others more important to you than your own, then FIAT Croma yet the machine is not for you. Ride on this FIAT’s like being born black sheep: all the components – the wings, tail and feathers – like a traditional black and gray street sedans, only the emblem of the unusual.

What can I get paid 1.05 million rubles:

• Uniqueness and the possibility of being different;
• Handsome chuck wagon and a strange body;
• Huge trunk, and high light lounge;
• Excellent European comfort;
• Lack of prestige in the car is quite a prestigious class;
• Lack of understanding of others.

I have a soul Cinquecento. About it in a couple of hours already want to say «we», drive all night long, stopping to friends to raise their unwavering smile charming impractical, boastful pritormazhivat at traffic lights, giving the enthusiastic audience to see the «we» on all sides.

We have all long been pleased to power and convenience utilitarian. Every year the cars are difficult to distinguish from each other, whether they were under European or Korean sauce. And small cars and to burly SUV fell victim to the demon of globalization. Perhaps, therefore, increasingly draws us there, at a time when the trees were higher, the air is cleaner and the machine – more interesting?

The Italians were not confined to nostalgia and back to life an icon 1960 – Fiat 500. It is not practical. It is impractical, funny, original and incredibly stylish.

The success of a car in retro style has surpassed all expectations of hot Italian – emotional car began to sweep with tears of happiness in the eyes, so yes, that had to increase the initial production volumes. Cinquecento, Cinquecento – try pronouncing it juicy word denoting in Italian «five», without a smile! It zazvuchalo and in Russia, which is already used to the idea that Fiat – it is not a «Zhiguli». And was the wait for news at home.
