Fiat Doblo 2001 -2010

  • Practical and spacious interior
  • Decent ride
  • Rear sliding doors

The Fiat Doblo first hit the market in 2001, with a similar van-derived approach to practical “family cars” as the Citreon Berlingo and Renault Kangoo.

Being tall and boxy means, the Doblo isn’t the prettiest car on the road and certainly doesn’t have a sporty look. However, the lack of aesthetics is made up for with enormous load capacity and ample cabin space for several adults to travel comfortably.

Practicality

Designed for practicality, the Fiat Doblo 2001-2010 offers plenty of smart features to help with the day-to-day.

A sliding door mechanism ensures that entering and leaving the vehicle is effortless, even in the tightest of parking spots. It also makes loading the larger items much less of a struggle.

The Doblo also has a high-opening tailgate which provides a massive square opening to the boot of the car. In terms of storage space, the five-seater models can store up to 790 litres with the rear seats in place, or 3,200 litres when they are down. However, the seven-seaters have far less boot space, and with the two rear seats being on a bench they only fold forward, so they still get in the way.

Comfort

Behind the wheel, the Fiat Doblo feels almost car-like, with excellent visibility of the road and a reasonably comfortable seating position. There is a fair amount of noise caused by the cars boxy dimensions and somewhat loud engines (especially at higher revs).

The interior has an upmarket feel compared to the Berlingo or Kangoo. However, quality on the earlier version isn’t nearly as good as models released after the 2006 facelift.

Passengers will be comfortable, whether in the front or back, with plenty of headroom for everybody. The Seven-seater models suffer a little in terms of legroom, and the rearmost seats aren’t very comfortable on longer journeys.

Safety

With a three-star NCAP rating for adult occupant protection and driver protection, the Doblo is ranked quite low compared to alternatives like the Berlingo.

The earlier models only had ABS, with electronic brakeforce distribution being an optional extra.

All models come with:

  • Driver Airbag
  • Passenger’s airbag
  • PAS (Power-assisted steering)

Engine Efficiency

The Doblo is a reliable car, with few gadgets to go wrong and reasonably priced parts servicing and repairs on the off chance something does happen.

All models are excellent when it comes to fuel efficiency and general economy driving. Engine sizes vary between 1.2L, 1.3L and 1.9L versions.

Earlier models had the option between the 65bph 1.2-litre petrol and 63bph 1.9-litre diesel. Both lack power and struggle to get to a sensible driving speed, roughly 20.9s to get to 62mph. The maximum speed they can reach is 88mph.

In 2002 Fiat released a new 100bph 1.9-litre JTD diesel, which was soon replaced by a slightly more powerful 105pbh version. The new engine was a massive improvement to the originals with being able to do 49mpg and go from 0-62mph in 12.4 seconds.

During the same timeframe, a 70bph 1.3-litre MultiJet engine was introduced to replace the original 1.9D model. Though not the quickest at 16 seconds to reach 62mph, it was very fugal with 51mpg achievable.

Our option about the Fiat Doblo 2001-2010

With a van-like appearance, the Fiat Doblo 2001-2010 models feel quite sophisticated to drive, though it’s not the most rewarding to drive. The steering lacks weight but still feels responsive enough for a relaxing ride. Overall, the Doblo performs well on rough roads and at higher speeds. The drive is comfortable, and the exceptional amount of boot space in the five-seater versions is hard to overlook.

What our customers say

We had lots of questions when we came to look at the micro-campers and Jason couldn't have been more helpful! He provided an excellent service (alongside his excellent conversions) and we have loved every moment of becoming micro-camper owners. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Redcote Leisure – and indeed have already done so to several of our friends!

Beth and John

My husband has always loved camping, I have always said I would hate it. We couldn't afford the 30 grand for a 10 year old VW camper. So when he showed me the details of a Redcote day/micro van I was persuaded to go and have a look. What a revelation! Jason showed us the various beautifully kitted out vans with no hard sell or pressure to buy, it was obvious he knew his stuff and loved the vans. We bought one straight away. We have had days out cooking on the little stove and sitting in the back at the table. We also bought the awning, which is really a little tent that fits neatly on the back of the van. We have been camping over night, what could be better – the room of the little tent to sit/eat in and then climbing up to sleep in the comfy double bed in the back of the van. It is perfect and we love it and would recommend Redcote Leisure

Jackie

We are happy to recommend this place. Jason is very knowledgeable about his product, and was able to talk us novices through what we needed to know. When there were a couple of unforseen glitches, these were sorted out quickly and in a friendly and professional manner. A pleasure to deal with him, and we would not hesitate to do so again. We have now had a couple of brilliant excursions in our camper…one a local try out, the other a 1400 mile 5 day trip to the far side of Germany, taking in 5 countries in total and finishing up at an excellent campsite in Belgium. The camper did everything required and we had a brilliant trip.
