FIATDoblo 2005 - 2010

　　Starting with 2005, all vehicles sold in the EU had to comply with the Euro 4 pollution norms, and Fiat chose that year to introduce the facelift for the Doblo range.

　　Even if it was designed as a light utility vehicle, the Doblo was a very good and competitive MPV on the market. One of the most important differences between the Italian vehicle and its competitors was the independent rear suspension, which ensured a higher comfort level over bumpy roads.

　　After the big fail with the Fiat Multipla design, the Italian carmaker decided to introduce the Doblo in that segment. The car was available in two length versions and offered room for up to seven passengers. Its look was closer to a utility vehicle than to a minivan, but its functions were the same. The facelifted model featured numerous modifications on the front fascia, where there were bigger headlights and a new grille with the blue Fiat badge in the middle. The designers installed a ventilation area for the engine and two side-pods for the fog-lights on the lower bumper. In the back, the corner-mounted taillights were bigger and offered better visibility from behind.

　　The interior was enhanced with the introduction of a new infotainment unit, offered as an option, on top of the center stack. Fiat kept the transmission mounted upper, on the dashboard, instead of the floor-mounted one. Despite the new, enhanced design of the panels, the materials used had a similar quality as on the non-facelifted version.

　　Under the hood, Fiat installed only Euro4 engines. There was a choice of five engine versions, and the new 1.3-liter diesel proved to be one of the most fuel-efficient from its class.
