Fiat Doblo 2.0 in the test: Fair price for strong diesel?


With the two-litre diesel engine with 135 HP, the Fiat Doblo is one of the strongest high-roof station wagons on the market 2.0 JTDM. Is the large diesel engine worth the price premium?

Usually the bargain and the large space give the rash - and not the engine power in choosing a high roof combined a la Fiat Doblo. Including a 135-HP diesel choose which inevitably drives upwards the cost at the time of purchase?
Now, in the Fiat Doblo, the supplement to the 105 PS strong 1.6 Multijet with comparable facilities is only moderate 900 euro. For this you get more capacity and 10 percent more torque (320 instead of 290 NM), reflected in a significant plus of dynamics in addition to the increased output.
Motor drown out wind noise
But the temperament with a high roof combination plays a key role? Good
hardly, as long as is the Fiat Doblo only in the city and country on the road. But once on
the highway more pace than recommended speed limit is needed, he must fight the lush drag of his large front surface - as the Fiat Doblo can use the additional PS, to hold still also near 130 km/h.
Of the engine hardly something is then before loud wind in the Fiat Doblo to hear, while the variant is otherwise quite present. Strong acceleration ever accompanied the turbocharger with audible hissing.
In addition, the manners of Fiat Doblo despite van descent fall out quite tolerable. Neither seats Harrow up passengers on longer stages still suspension excessively, and the two-color interior is as cozy as functionally.
Biggest advantage is the space of the voluminous body. However, only the two rear sliding doors of Fiat Doblo allow easy access in tight parking spaces - the big tailgate needs to back space.
Lush facilities at 22.150 euros
Parking sensors, which are standard in the emotion-facilities of Fiat Doblo assist in manoeuvring. The two-litre diesel is only in this version, and fails with 22.150 euro record, with air conditioning and CD-radio, also leather steering wheel and the blue & me package with USB port, Speakerphone and ecodrive software for optimizing consumption cost no extra money.
Support for the fuel saving can not harm, although the consumption of Fiat by us quite lies Doblo 8.2 L / 100 km in the framework. Those who prefer the emotion equipment anyway, should treat the 135 HP diesel. 900 Euros is a fair premium.
