It was first launched to the public in theNetherlands, and received the "2006International Van of the Year" award by an international jury from 19 countries. In Singapore, a 1.4 litre LAV variant is marketed as theFiat Panorama in five and seven seater versions.[6] The first Doblò was sold in January 2001.
The Doblò carries a payload of up to 730 kg (1,609 lb), with an interior volume of 3.2 cubic metres (110 cu ft). The Doblò usesFiat Strada's platform, in turn derived from theFiat Palio's one, using a rigid axle with leaf springs at the rear, instead of a torsion beam with coil springs as on the Palio.[1]
It is manufactured by Fiat'sTofaş subsidiary factory in Bursa, Turkey, in Brazil since 2002 and in Russia and Vietnam. Turkish models have an engine range that includes a 1.4 litre petrol, a 1.9 litreMultiJet, and a 16 valve 1.3 litre MultiJet.
In North Korea,Pyonghwa Motors produces Doblò branded as its own name Ppeokkugi.[7]
The facelift version came in October 2005, and was restyled with modifications to the front and rear light groups, and the total design of the front part.
Launched in late 2001 as a 2002 model, the Brazilian Doblòs were initially available with two 16 valve petrol engines, a 1.3 litreFire and a 1.6 litreTorque. From 2004 to 2009, the only engine available in Brazil was an 8 valve 1.8 litreEcotec, supplied byGeneral Motors do Brasil. This engine was produced initially in a petrol version, and later asflex fuel.
In September 2003, Fiat Brazil introduced an off-road 4x2 version calledFiat Doblò Adventure, also with thestraight-4Ecotec 1800 cc engine. It has revised exterior look with bigger bumpers and mouldings and raised ride height 6 cm (2.4 in) and spare wheel on the rear.[8]
In 2009, the wholeAdventure line (Doblò,Idea,Strada andPalio Weekend) was equipped with alocking differential. The line was rebadged asAdventure Locker. Only in the model year of 2010, the Brazilian Doblò and the Doblò Adventure were updated with the European facelift of 2005.
Besides the 1.8 litrePowertrain, Doblò is now equipped with a 1.4 litreFireflex engine.[9] In the model year of 2011, the 8 valve 1.8 litreEcotec engine was replaced by the brand new 16 valve 1.8 litreE.torQ engine, produced byFiat Powertrain Technologies.[10]
The Brazilian Doblò was discontinued in December 2021 after 160,000 units had been assembled in 20 years. Slow sales meant that meeting the upcoming Proconve L7 emissions standards would not be viable.[11][12]

Micro-Vett Fiat Doblò has three battery versions:[13]
The vehicle uses a 30kW (60 kW peak) motor from Ansaldo Electric Drives (aS.p.A. based inGenoa[14]), that gives 120 km/h (75 mph) top speed.
On October 2, 2007, a sixty-day demonstration of the All-Electric Fiat Doblo was begun. The Electric engine is powered by a custom 18 kWh Altairnano high performance NanoSafe(R) battery pack, travelled 300 kilometres (190 mi) in an urban delivery circuit.
The custom battery pack was fully recharged in less than ten minutes a total of three times using AeroViroments' high voltage, 125 kW rated, rapid charging system. The vehicle was driven an estimated total of 7,500 kilometres (4,700 mi) during the sixty day demonstration period, which translates to an annual equivalent use of 45,000 kilometres (28,000 mi).
The Doblò received 3 stars for adult occupants, 3 stars for toddlers, and 1 star for pedestrians fromEuro NCAP in 2004.[15]

The all new Doblò (Type 263) was launched in the beginning of 2010, and it is built inTurkey byTofaş. The 2010 Doblò uses theFiat Small platform, derived from theGrande Punto, with a new bi link independent rear suspension instead of a torsion beam, which has 2,755-millimetre (108.5 in) wheelbase, 790-litre (28 cu ft) luggage compartment, and lowCO2 emissions (129 g/km with the 1.3Multijet 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) engine).[17] The Doblò was also sold byOpel andVauxhall except forHolden as the Combo.[18]
As of July 2011[update] the Doblò is available as a pickup called Fiat Doblò Work Up[19] or Fiat Pratico in Turkey.[20] There is also a raised roof version, as well as an extended wheelbase van called the "Doblò Cargo Maxi". During the 2010 Hanover Motor Show, the Fiat Doblò received the International Van of the Year 2011 award.[21]
These two features are combined for the Fiat Doblò Cargo XL, a high roofed, long wheelbase panel van model, with a one tonne payload, equipped with the 105 hp (78 kW) 1.6 litre Multijet common rail diesel. The XL, which can carry as much as the bigger and more expensiveScudo, was presented in the United Kingdom in May 2013.[22]
In other markets the XL appeared in 2012, and it is available with all diesel engines excepting the 1.3, and also the 1.4 T-Jet. There is also an XL Combi, with a 135 PS (99 kW) version of the 2.0 diesel.[23]
In February 2010, Tofaş announced they were developing a battery-electric version of the Doblò (263).[24] The vehicle itself was introduced publicly in July 2010, as "The First Commercial Electrical Vehicle Developed in Turkey".[25] It also was revealed that Tofaş will lead FIAT's development of electriclight commercial vehicles (LCV).[26] During a ceremony to commemorate the production of the millionth Doblò, the Doblò EV was tested by press and Turkish Minister of Industry and Commerce,Nihat Ergün. In November 2018, the first Doblò EV was delivered to the Turkish fashion company,Vakko.[27][28]
As announced in 2010, the Doblò EV was equipped with a 250 kg (550 lb), 21 kW-hr lithium-ion battery and a 140 hp (100 kW) traction motor; as charge depletes, the motor output is limited to 79 hp (59 kW) and top speed is limited to 110 km/h (68 mph) to preserve the 150 km (93 mi) range.[25] A version of Doblò EV that was shipped in 2019 has an electric motor delivering 111 hp (83 kW) of maximum power and a torque of 220 N⋅m (162 lbf⋅ft). The autonomy at full load is 210 km (130 mi) with a single recharge. The 30 kWh battery is located in the rear floor. Overall the Doblò EV weighs 150 kg (331 lb) more than the Cargo 1.6 Multijet version.[29]

Introduced at theHanover Motor Show, the 2015 Fiat Doblò receives a revised front end with an all new dashboard, new headlamps, grille, and front bumper to coincide with the release of theRam ProMaster City.[30]
Versions include standard, Active, SX and Technico for the commercial versions and Pop, Easy, Lounge and Trekking for the passenger (MPV) models. When the Doblo was crash tested by NCAP in 2017 it received a safety rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
For the 2019 model year the Doblo MPV is no longer available for the U.K market. The N1 Fiat professional commercial version remains on sale although the 1.4 Petrol engine has been discontinued, with only 1.3 and 1.6 Diesel options available for the U.K. This model can be specified as a passenger variant with factory windows and seats and either a rear tailgate or the van style double rear doors.
In 2020 the MPV version of the Fiat Doblo ceased production for most markets. As of 2022, the Doblo MPV remains on sale in some markets, including the Turkish and Russian markets, as the Doblo Panorama. The Doblo Cargo van also remains in production - albeit with more limited engine options than previously.
In September 2022, the second generation Dobló was discontinued in Europe and it was replaced by the third generation, which is a rebadged version of a third generationCitroën Berlingo.
Late 2022, the second generation Dobló stopped to be exported, but it remained in production for 2023 in Turkey.[31]
The Ram ProMaster City (Type 636) is an Americanised version of the Fiat Doblò introduced in the model year of 2015, to succeed theDodge Caravan based C/V Tradesman. The ProMaster City is built in the same plant in Turkey as the Doblò and exported to North America. To circumvent thechicken tax, only passenger vans are imported into North America, with cargo vans being post import conversions.
Unlike the Doblò, passenger versions of the ProMaster City use solid metal panels instead of glass in its rear quarters, and third row seating and the lift tailgate options are not offered. The 2.4 litreTigershark engine mated to the948TE nine speed automatic transmission is the only power train available for the ProMaster City.[32]
Trim levels are Tradesman, SLT, Wagon, and Wagon SLT. Like the largerRam ProMaster, the Ram ProMaster City received a facelift for themodel year of 2019. The front "crosshair" grille was replaced with a plain front grille with the 'RAM' lettering.
The interior of the facelifted 2019 Ram ProMaster City remains largely unchanged from 2018, although the U Connect 3 5.0BT touchscreen radio is now standard equipment (both GPS navigation andSiriusXMSatellite Radio still remain options), replacing the previously standard U Connect 3.0 non touchscreen radio on models from 2018. This is due to theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulation of standard rear view backup cameras for themodel year of 2019. Now standard are a USB input as well as U ConnectBluetooth hands free calling and wirelessA2DP audio streaming, as well as voice control.
Stellantis plans to discontinue the ProMaster City after the 2022 model year, citing declining annual sales for compact commercial vans in the US and Canadian markets. Shipments of the van from Turkey to the United States and Canada will continue until the end of the first quarter of 2023.[33][31]
