The 2022 Fiat Ducato minibus is part of the commercial vehicle line. The model is mainly chosen by companies involved in the transportation of passengers or cargo. But there are car owners who purchase it for personal needs. The cost of a car in a minimum configuration at dealer sites starts from 2.4 million rubles. Fiat is available in several versions - with 5/6 or 8/9 seats. By default, the car has a fairly small list of options, but it is quite enough for driving. At the same time, it is possible to increase the optional content, but for this you will have to pay a certain amount. Under the hood of the minibus is a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine that consumes diesel fuel. Supplies to the Russian market are carried out directly from the Italian plant. Fiat Ducato has no direct rivals, but it is often compared to brands such as Citroen Spacetourer and Opel Zafira Life, as well as Peugeot Traveler.
