The fourth generation of Fiorino will be built in Turkey and will be available at the begining of 2008. With its cousins from Peugeot (Bipper) and Citroën (Némo), it will fill a ten-years old gap in little urban vans (the Fiorino Mk III, the Peugeot 205 Fourgon and the Citroën C15 were replaced by much bigger trucks, the Doblo, the Partner and the Berlingo).

Prices are told to be around 8000-10000 euros, a very good offer on the french market.

The new compact, economy van concept developed by Fiat and PSA Peugeot Citroen in partnership with Tofas.

The new LCVs developed in common by Fiat and PSA Peugeot Citroen and built in partnership with Tofas, which will be soon launched, represent a totally new option for the light van market by virtue of their compactness, useful performance and styles.
Measuring 3.86 meters in length, the new vans are surprisingly roomy inside, with a load volume of 2.5 cubic meters. A stowable passenger seat enables capacity to be increased to 2.8 cubic meters for a loading space length of 2.5metres.

These highly functional vehicles feature optimal loading height and large side-hinged rear doors and sliding side doors that make the loading bay easily accessible.

The bright, modern, roomy cab combines practical, functional features with advanced ergonomics designed to ensure comfort and well-being for intensive professional use. Standard equipment includes power steering for driving comfort, as well as ABS and a driver airbag for enhanced safety. Many other options usually found in higher-priced segments are also available, including parking sensors, a separate cab locking system and additional storage space.

Proven gasoline and diesel engines, both fuel efficient and environmentally friendly (119g/km of CO2 in diesel-equipped versions), help to lower running costs.

Main competitor will be the Renault “Short Kangoo” and the Renault/Dacia MCV.
