21.01.2004 NEW ENGINES IMPROVED SAFETY MORE OPTIONS AND A REVISED INTERIOR FOR THE FIAT DOBLO CARGO

The Combi 7-seater is a Doblò version for people transport, designed for users who seek maximum functionality and practicality plus great value for money. On the one hand, this version emphasises the model's intrinsic versatility and ability to adapt to innumerable applications. On the other hand, it satisfies customers who have specific needs connected with their work and are also keen to ensure they obtain value for money, i.e. a lot of performance for the purchase price.

The Doblò Combi 7-seater is compact and extremely accessible in terms of cost. It will undoubtedly play a leading role in the multipurpose/trade people transport sector.

This version is aimed at those who need a true workhorse complete with all the trappings of practicality and safety but are not interested in car accessories. For example, customers who use their vehicle for a mixture of work-related activities (goods, equipment and people-carrying) as in the case of public transport for communities and associations or work team transport on building sites. The Doblò Combi 7-seater can carry up to 6 passengers plus a driver and also offers a load compartment of up to 3000 dm3 (3 m3) by altering the position of the modular seats in the second and third rows as required.

It is able to accommodate 7 people within a length of just 4.16 metres: two in the front row, three in the middle row and two in the back row. In particular, the three seats in the central row are single (the two side seats are fitted with fold-down backrests and can be packed away to allow easy access to the third row). The back row takes the form of a two-seater bench that can also be packed up and removed. The vehicle is highly modular: some 750 dm3 of luggage compartment with the third row removed, some 3000 dm3 when the second row is packed away as well. All the seats are fitted with 3-point seat-belts.

The Doblò Combi 7-seater may be equipped with 1.3 16v Multijet, 1.9 JTD and 1.6 16v engines and is fitted as standard with ABS, driver's airbag and two sliding side doors.
