Vans A2Z.com Verdict
Worth considering; especially with the 2.3-litre.

The product of a long-established joint venture between Fiat and PSA Group, Peugeot and Citroën’s parent company, Fiat’s Ducato is almost identical to Peugeot’s Boxer and Citroën’s Relay. There is one key difference, however, and that’s in Fiat’s choice of engines. The 120hp/320Nm 2.3-litre diesel is unique to Ducato and is not deployed in Relay or Boxer. Two other diesels are up for grabs in the Italian load-lugger; a 100hp/250Nm 2.2-litre and a 157hp/400Nm 3.0-litre. The 2.2-litre is married to a five-speed gearbox while its stablemates are hooked up to a six-speeder.

Van load cube ranges from 8.0m3 to 17.0m3 while payload capacities extend from 1,075kg to 1,850kg. Gross weights run from 3.0 tonnes all the way up to 4.0 tonnes.

Ducato is also sold as a chassis cab and as a chassis double cab — some bodies can be sourced from the factory — and is marketed as a minibus too. The big Italian is covered by a three-year/100,000-mile warranty and service intervals are set at 25,000 miles for the 2.2-litre and at 28,000 miles for the 2.3-litre & 3.0-litre.
