A full line-up of exciting Fiat Professional vehicles will once again feature on the company's exhibition stand at this week's Commercial Vehicle Show, in Birmingham.

Sportivo range

Four models have been given the Sportivo treatment: Fiorino, Doblò, Talento and Ducato. The popular, special trim level has been reintroduced to the Fiat Professional line-up following its original introduction in 2014.

Taking its place as the flagship model of each vehicle in the Fiat Professional range, Sportivo builds on the high specification of the Tecnico models by adding alloy wheels, metallic paint, Sportivo side-stripes, painted bumpers (not Fiorino), and a host of other safety and comfort features.

That means that, like the Tecnico versions, air conditioning, touchscreen with satnav, reverse parking sensors and cruise control are also standard, making Sportivo models among the best equipped and best value vehicles in their segments.

Talento Sportivo starts at £26,245* for the 1.6 LWB 12 145 HP. An equipment pack that includes cruise control, rear view camera and leather steering wheel is worth £2,720 but costs just £1,700. And Ducato Sportivo starts at £32,400* for the 35 2.3 150 HP MultiJet II. A rear camera, reverse parking sensors and cruise control are among the special equipment that is worth £4,230 but costs just £3,230.

All versions are currently available through Leasys (FCA's contract hire and mobility company):

•Fiorino £169** per month

•Doblo SWB £189** / LWB £209** per month

•Talento LWB £289** per month

•Ducato MWB £339** per month

Fiat Professional Fullback Cross and LX

The top-of-the-range Fullback Cross version meets the ever-increasing demand for rugged, versatile vans which have car-class comfort and strong design. With a striking lifestyle character, the new Fullback Cross provides top performance during working hours as well as enjoyable leisure time.

Equipped with a powerful 2.4-litre 180hp common-rail turbodiesel engine with variable valve lift to maximise power and keep fuel consumption and emissions down, the Cross version comes with a choice of manual six-speed or automatic five-speed transmission: the latter with steering wheel paddles for a dynamic, exciting driving experience. Standard equipment includes rear differential lock, Bi-Xenon headlights, LED DRLs, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors, soft tailgate opening, and leather seats and steering wheel.

The Fullback LX version is powered by the same 180hp 2.4-litre, aluminium, turbo-diesel engine with the two transmissions available. Both are combined with full four-wheel drive systems with four electrically-controlled settings: 2H, 4H plus 4HLc and 4LLc with a locking central differential for improved traction. Official combined-cycle fuel economy figure is 39.8mpg (7.1L/100km) while CO2 emissions are 186g/km.

The Fiat Fullback range starts at £21,695 for the SX version, rising to £26,495 for the Cross version, and is currently available for £199' per month with Leasys (FCA's contract hire and mobility company) contract hire.

It's an ideal vehicle for working in busy towns and city centres and wherever the operator needs a compact, easy-to-handle vehicle to move about in with ease.
