MODEL TESTED/PUBLISHED: VARIO 13 February 2003 An old-timer that's soldiering on despite ageing underpinnings, the Vario has the practicality and security of a panel van and the load volume of a truck.
Upfront is an updated cab which might lack the attractiveness of its contemporaries, but is practical nonetheless. Power has also been revised.
The Euro-4 four cylinder 4.25litre unit incorporates SCR technology and produces 136hp with torque rated at a hefty 520Nrn,Wah CVWs ranging from 5.99-7.49t there's little in the way of immediate oomph. But guide the big van through its paces and things will remain unruffled body control is surprisingly stable.
With plenty of payload potential thanks to its competitive kerb weight the Vario makes practical sense. Yet with plenty of newer competition, you'll need to ignore a few things.
