Detailed specs for 2021 Iveco Daily: New engine, more safety for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter competitor Ford Transit

The Iveco Daily is available in a van or cab chassis configuration.

Iveco has updated its Daily van range and cab chassis with new Euro 6 engines, as well as improved safety technology and standard equipment for the 2021 model year.

Starting with the van range, three trim levels are available - 35S, 50C and 70C - with six different displacements, rear or all-wheel drive and four Gross Vehicle Weight (GVM) options, including two options for passenger car license holders.

The cab chassis range, meanwhile, is offered in 50C and 70C versions, with multiple wheelbase options and four GVM options.

Those converting a motorhome can opt for a "power take-off" and an extension module to ease the installation of different bodies, Iveco says.

Three engines are available, starting with a 100kW/350Nm 2.3-litre turbodiesel available exclusively in the 35S van.

The 132-litre 430kW/3.0Nm engine is also available for most van and chassis cab models, while a 155kW/470Nm version is also available across the range.

To comply with the Euro 6 standard, the new engines use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which injects AdBlue into the hot exhaust to remove nitrogen oxides.

Paired with each engine is a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission, the latter of which also has Eco and Power modes.

Safety is also greatly improved with the availability of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, crosswind assist, updated electronic stability control systems, lane departure warning and hill descent control, and a shift in lane departure warning. .

Standard equipment includes power mirrors, heated and electronically adjustable side mirrors, keyless entry, electronic parking brake, LED headlights, heated driver's seat, air conditioning and a TFT color display for the driver, and the steering wheel has been redesigned with better ergonomics.

Between the driver and front passenger is the Hi-Connect multimedia system with sat-nav, Bluetooth connectivity and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support.

Available as an option is a "lock on the go" feature that will allow drivers to exit the vehicle for delivery or drop off and automatically lock the vehicle while the engine is running, while other additions include a wireless smartphone charger and a heated passenger seat. .

Four upgrade packages are available for each vehicle - "Hi-Business Pack", "Hi-Comfort Pack", "Hi-Technology Pack" for vehicles with automatic and manual transmissions - to "select the specification package that best suits the application, gaining more value by grouping options,” says Iveco.

Pricing for the entire range has yet to be announced, but there is a special Tradie-Made variant with a unique heavy-duty aluminum sump (available in two sizes), a 132-litre 430kW/3.0Nm engine and a three-year mileage/150,000 km/58,700 km range. free scheduled maintenance is available for $59,700 excluding travel and $XNUMX for the short and long tray versions, respectively.
