With the end of the One decreed by law, was it the Fiorino van together. To maintain the supply of useful vehicle launched in 1980 – even before the Uno, derived from the 147 – and that adds nearly 1 million units, Fiat had no choice but to prepare a successor, and did so with praise, engineering work under the responsibility of Italian Claudio Demaria and the Fiat Style Center headed by German Peter Fassbinder. The new Fiorino is derived from the new one with profound changes in the platform both as a matter of greater load capacity as mainly wheelbase by 140 mm higher than in the previous Fiorino , 2,717 mm now ( the wheelbase of the new Uno is 2.376 mm ) . The press conference was here in São Paulo.
Regarding the former, the new van is greater whole. The length increased from 4.183 to 4.384 mm (plus 201 mm ) , a width of 1.622 to 1.643 mm (over 21 mm ) and height of 1,873 mm to 1,900 mm ( 27 mm more ) . The weight obviously increased from 1000 to 1118 kg , which led to over 1,242 cm ³ engine for Flex 1.4 EVO ( 1,368 cm ³ ) of 88/85 hp ethanol / gasoline and tires, 165/70R13S to 175 / 70R14T low rolling friction , Pirelli Chrono walked in the vehicle . According to Fiat engineering, torsion body rigidity has increased 27 % over the previous Fiorino and the coefficient of aerodynamic drag improved 6 % when downloading 0.35 to 0.34, more than offsetting the frontal area approximately 2.7 % greater. It is part of a baffle streamlined treatment under the front bumper.
It is not very visible in the photo, but there is a baffle, a ‘ lip’ under the front bumper.
Carrying capacity increased by 30 pounds and now is 650 pounds, but the volume of cargo lost 100 liters to 3100 liters is now. The only explanation is the concept of style “round square” (square round) have influenced the volume loss. Either way, the design of the new Fiorino is decidedly friendly; in particular the new Uno differs: the design of the bag and cargo doors.
Drawing indisputably modern
The doors are asymmetric to the contour of the glass (optional) and produce curious and while interesting visual effect. Thinking about who will use the vehicle as a selling point, both doors open at 90 ° or 180 °, in this case by a small latch on the hinge, simple deactivation.
Cargo doors are opened 90 ° and 180 °
A good use of space is what would be a ceiling baffle to reduce aerodynamic drag to be a space for additional load, small objects, with access to the load compartment. The steppe, 100% operational, is stored behind the passenger seat and its recess minimally invades the cargo compartment.
