Fiat Fiorino: compact van, engines and trims
Fiat Fiorino — a compact city van, sold with related Peugeot Bipper and Citroën Nemo technology. We look at the trims, engines, cargo area and what to check when buying a used Fiorino.
Fiorino in brief
Fiorino — a small commercial vehicle designed for city deliveries and tradespeople. The current (third) generation has been in production since 2007 alongside the Peugeot Bipper and Citroën Nemo, with the passenger version known as the Qubo.
Thanks to its compact size, it's ideal for narrow streets and parking, while the cargo area is ample for light loads and tools.
Trims and bodies
The base trim is a van with a single row of seats and a bulkhead. There are also versions with fold-flat seats, which can either expand the cargo area or provide more space for passengers.
The Fiorino features sliding doors on the right and (often) the left side, with rear doors that open with two leaves. A bulkhead made of aluminium or steel is often fitted.
Engines and gearboxes
The most common diesel engine is the 1.3 Multijet (around 75–80 hp). There's also a 1.4 petrol engine (around 73 hp), and occasionally a 1.4 Natural Power (gas) variant.
The gearbox is almost always manual; some models come with an automated (Dualogic) gearbox, which is important to check when driving.
What to check when buying a used Fiorino
Body: the base of the sliding doors, rear doors, wheel arches and cargo area floor. Commercial vehicles are often heavily used.
Check the diesel engine for injectors, turbo, DPF (if fitted) and EGR condition. The engine should start without a long crank and shouldn't smoke. If the car has a Dualogic gearbox, ensure it shifts smoothly without harsh judders.
Inside the cabin, check the seats, air conditioning, electrical functions and storage compartments. Inspect the ride based on service records.
