Fiat shares the body design for the Scudo with Peugeot and Citroen, but employs its own engines, hence its own mention in the Truck & Van Buyers Guide 2005. The Scudo received a slight makeover last year with interior and exterior styling improvements, improved braking and, Fiat claims, better fuel economy.
Interior changes are not dramatic, being restricted to uprated seating and a new steering wheel. The engines —1.9 and 2.0-litre Fiat diesels — have been tweaked: the corn mon-rail 2.0-litre variant gains exhaust gas recirculation (EGA) to cut emissions and extended service intervals {from 20,000 to 30,000km). Claimed interior noise levels are down 4d8(A) a1100km/h and 5dB(A) at 130km/h. Load area remains superb. Access is easy and payload plus driver is 900kg, with an available loading cube of 4m3.
