What’s hot?
- It’s capacious, without being unwieldy – manoeuvrable without compromising a decent load volume.
- Good on-road performance – the torquey engine pulls well and top speed (where legal!) is 96mph.
- Price is competitive
- Huge range of extras available
What’s not?
- The cab is comfortable but could be quieter, especially at motorway speeds.
- Like its cousins, the handbrake position to the right of the driver’s seat is awkward and takes some getting used to.
Business Vans verdict
The Fiat Ducato is popular and it’s easy to see why. If your business needs a van with decent load volume and payload, yet isn’t so big it’s unwieldy, has plenty of oomph and will keep the driver in good humour all the working day, put this van on your shopping list.
