Engines and Spec

Fiat engines have a brilliant reputation for both reliability and economic value. These days fuel is becoming more and more expensive and running a van, or any vehicle for that matter, is a challenging task. This is why it has never been more important to purchase vehicles which truly stack up well when it comes to their fuel efficiency. Of course, there are other factors that come into play when it comes to vans, but fuel efficiency is certainly one of the top priorities. So, what are the specifications like for the Scudo and will it be a good fit as your next van?

The Scudo comes with two different engine sizes. There is the 1.5-litre option and then the 2-litre variant. The former of these two options comes with two separate horsepower capabilities of 100 and 120 hp. While the latter of these engine sizes boasts 145 and 180hp options. You may well think that 100 horsepower for the least powerful option won’t be enough to carry your equipment. Though this van is surprisingly quick considering the size of its engine and considering the economic benefits, you should definitely consider it. So, what about the interior? How does this van fare when you take a critic’s eye inside the vehicle?

Interior

Though you also need a storage option in the main cab and brilliant driving and seating positions. All of this means that finding a van that ticks all of these boxes while being economical and well-powered can be extremely challenging.
