Fiat Fiorino road test Review: Mark Bursa
Fiat Fiorino Cargo SX 1.3 Multijet Diesel 75
What is it?
New-style city van, with ultra-low emissions and excellent fuel economy. It’s the third van to be built as a joint venture between Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat – so it’s almost identical to the Peugeot Bipper and Citroen Nemo. More sensible name than the Peugeot!
What’s hot?
- Fiorino is based on the platform of the Fiat Grande Punto…
- …so its overall footprint is hatchback-sized
- Van body is deceptively big – in fact overall length is less than a Fiesta
- Payload of 610kg, loadfloor length of 1.52m and volume of 2.5cu m…
- …so it’s more than usable for delivery work
- A 1,000mm x 1,200mm ISO pallet to be carried
- A Fiorino could replace a larger van for everyday use
- Fiat Grand Punto platform means excellent handling
- CO2 emissions are a tax-friendly 119g/km on the 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel
- Fiorino has slightly more power than its Peugeot and Citroen sisters
- Cab is car-like and comfortable, with excellent headroom
- Fold-down front passenger seat ups load volume to 2.8cm
- Flip-up clipboard on the top of the dashboard
- Good range of factory options includes sliding doors on both sides
- Optional Comfort Matic clutchless manual transmission for city driving…
- …without compromising Fiorino’s excellent fuel economy
What’s not?
- Side door apertures are smaller than they look
- Bulkhead and rear wheel arches intrude into the space…
- … so the only way to load bulky items is through the back door

Business Van Manager Road Test Rating
Car-derived vans used to comprise a box body welded to the front of a popular hatchback – but that’s sooo 20th century. Fiorino puts a clever, small panel van body on to a hatchback platform to combine car-like driveability with van practicality. Factor in a clean (sub-120g CO2), economical diesel engine and cheeky good looks and you’ve got a winning combination. Plus, because Peugeot’s Bipper and Citroen’s Nemo are the same van (though Fiorino has a Fiat engine) – it’s worth shopping around for a good deal.
