Fiat Professional has announced the pricing and specification of the Talento van.

It is now on sale with prices, excluding VAT and on-the-road charges, starting at £19,795 for the 1.6-litre MultiJet 95hp SWB standard roof van.

The 1.6-litre MultiJet 120hp SWB is priced at £20,195 while the twin-turbo 1.6-litre EcoJet 125hp S&S is priced at £20,645.

The range topping twin-turbo 1.6-litre EcoJet 145hp S&S is priced from £21,245.

The long-wheelbase version is priced from £21,395 (1.6 MultiJet 120hp), the crew van starts at £21,145 (1.6 MultiJet 95hp), the platform cab is available from £21,545 (1.6 EcoJet 125hp S&S) and the Combi is priced from £21,885 (1.6 MultiJet 95hp).

Interior volume is up to 8.6m³ and payload up to 1,249kg.

Across nine body styles, innovative features include the ‘cargoplus’ storage area under the passenger seats which allows objects up to 3.75m in length (4.15 for LWB versions) to be stored by sliding them into a special bulkhead opening.

Rear doors can open up to a wide angle of 255° while the sliding side door has an aperture of 1,030 mm and a load edge just 100mm above the ground.

The load volume equals 5.2m³ in short wheelbase models, 6m³ in long wheelbase versions and 8.6m³ in the long wheelbase high-roof derivative.

This means that the Talento, even in the short wheelbase trim level, is capable of carrying three Euro pallets and, depending on the version, a payload of up to 1,249 kg with a GVW of up to 3,060kg.

The Talento is equipped with 1.6-litre turbo and twin-turbo diesel engines, all equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.

Inside, there are 90 litres of in-cabin storage space in a variety of shapes and sizes (including compartments hidden under the seat base and behind the seat back of the passenger seats), an additional blind spot-mitigating ViewPlus interior mirror, the fold-down central seat with detachable clipboard holder and the available smartphone/tablet holder.

In terms of safety, all versions are fitted with LED daytime running lights, ABS with EBD (electronic brake distribution) and EBA (emergency brake assistance) in addition to a sophisticated ESC system with Hill Holder and Traction+ as standard.

Available safety features include side airbags and window-bags and a trailer stability assist (TSA) system which guarantees total stability when towing by automatically modulating engine power and braking force applied to each wheel to stabilise both the vehicle and a wayward trailer.

A front parking assist system and a reversing camera (with a display in the rear-view mirror) are also available.

Standard equipment on the entry level Fiat Professional Talento includes remote central locking, electric front windows (one-touch lowering on the driver’s side), electrically operated and heated door mirrors, a full bulkhead, a height adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support and an arm rest, dual passenger seat, a powerful audio system with Bluetooth, DAB, USB, aux-in, a full-size spare wheel and steering-wheel remote controls.

The entry-level Combi Active adds a rear tailgate with window wiper and de-mister, luggage cover, passenger airbag, and folding/removable rear seats.

Key options (all prices excluding VAT) include air conditioning (£720), automatic lights and wipers (£110), front fog lamps (£110), bulkhead window (£60), ‘mobile office’ (folding passenger sear, clipboard holder and under-seat storage £170), a leather-trimmed steering (£70), reversing camera with interior mirror monitor (£280), cruise control with speed limiter (£170), rear parking sensors (£220), ViewPlus wide-view mirror (£60) glazed rear doors (£170), plylining with a resin-coated plywood floor (£170), seven-inch touchscreen multimedia system with satellite navigation (£400), tow bar with pre-wiring and Trailer Sway Mitigation (£310 – excluding installation) and the cargo plus trapdoor (£30).

The SX version adds air conditioning, ‘mobile office’, ViewPlus, rear parking sensors, upgraded ‘living brown’ interior trim and enhanced exterior detailing, while the SX Combi adds 17-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps, automatic lights and wipers, a leather steering wheel, cruise control with speed limiter, the upgraded audio system with satnav and enhanced exterior and interior detailing.

SX versions of the Talento van and crew van are priced at £1,000 more than the standard model, while the Combi SX is £2,000 more than the Active trim level.
