The Fiat Scudo is part of the Stellantis family, meaning it shares its excellent underlying DNA with the Vauxhall Vivaro, Peugeot Expert, and Citroën Dispatch. However, Fiat brings its own specific trim packaging and value proposition to the table, making it a highly competitive choice in the medium-panel van market.

Overview: Fiat Scudo L1 120ps Standard

The L1 120ps Standard is essentially the entry-level, short-wheelbase configuration. It is designed for tradespeople and delivery drivers who need a reliable, spacious workhorse that doesn't feel like driving a tractor.

• Engine: 1.5-litre MultiJet turbodiesel producing 120 horsepower (120ps). It is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
• Dimensions (L1): At just under 5 meters in length and with a roof height of around 1.9 meters, it is compact enough for city driving while still swallowing a hefty load.
• Cargo Capacity: 5.3 cubic meters of rear load space. If you opt for the "Magic Cargo" load-through bulkhead, this extends to 5.8 cubic meters, allowing you to slide longer items (like pipes or timber) under the passenger seat.
• Payload: It can handle a highly respectable payload, comfortably exceeding 1,000kg (and pushing up to roughly 1,400kg depending on the gross vehicle weight configuration).
