Iveco Daily 2014 - what's new?

The new Iveco Daily is available for sale from June. It can be said that this model is 80% new, because such a part of the components has been modified or redesigned.

Will this model work as a base for a motorhome? There are many arguments in favor of this, including the presence of long and wide versions in the offer, which beg to be used for recreational buildings. First things first.

He has a good look at him

Appearance is relative, but the Iveco Daily looks modern and dynamic. Many people will surely like this style. A low loading threshold , high-positioned lights and a larger windscreen area than in the previous version are features that affect not only the aesthetics, but also the practical features of the new Iveco.

It's also good inside. Plastics are hard, but look durable and scratch-resistant. The entire cockpit with clocks has been designed very aesthetically and resembles dashboards from passenger cars. One of the examples of functionality straight from "passenger cars" are air conditioning knobs with movable silver rims .

The touch screen allows you to control the navigation with maps for vans , as well as the radio, MP3 player, Bluetooth module and rear view camera. It is convenient to locate the buttons on the steering wheel - smaller than in the previous model.

The seats are placed lower , and their position is somewhat reminiscent of the position behind the wheel of a passenger car. The seats themselves hide surprises - quite spacious compartments are hidden in the seats and backrests .

There is an eco button in the cockpit, which allows you to switch the engine to EcoSwitch mode . It enables the economical operation of the engine by limiting the maximum torque when the car is not heavily loaded. This is also when the speed limiter to 125 km / h is activated.

Technically promising

The new Iveco Daily is available with three wheelbases - 300 cm, 352 cm and 410 cm. The car is offered in lengths from 504 to 750 cm . The maximum height that a car can have is 210 cm. The permissible total weight is from 3.5 tons to 7 tons.

Customers can choose between 2.3 or 3 liter engines. In addition to diesel engines, compressed natural gas (CNG) versions are also available . In total, you can choose from as many as 9 different types of engines ranging from 106 to 205 HP. Each engine works in conjunction with a 6-speed gearbox. An Agile Automated Chest is also available. It works in two modes (to choose from) - sequential and automatic.

Iveco has a new suspension that copes well with unevenness. The advantage of the car is also a relatively small turning radius.

All these features make the Daily a quite friendly vehicle for camping trips. I suspect that any day in the offers of caravanning companies there will be campers based on this interesting model.
