Iveco’s new Daily 4x4 ... handles all terrains with ease.

Iveco has launched the new Daily 4x4 family offering a full line-up of off- and on-road vehicles with cab, van, chassis cowl and crew cab models in 3.5, 5.5 and 7.0 tonnes GVW (gross vehicle weight) versions.  These vehicles are available with a choice of single-wheel off-road and twin-wheel all-road configurations.

The latest generation of Iveco’s ‘go-anywhere’ vehicle builds on this family’s heritage of unlimited versatility, extreme robustness and high driving comfort, according to a company spokesman.

“It extends the offering with the new all-wheel drive configurations, a choice of manual and the class-exclusive eight-speed Hi-Matic gearbox, new van versions, and the unique seven-tonne GVW 4x4 vehicle with a payload up to 4,300 kg,” he says.

Powered by Iveco’s Euro VI 180 hp three-litre engine, the vehicles can accomplish every mission on all types of terrain with ease. Customers can choose the manual transmission with 12 forward and two reverse gears or opt for the absolute driving pleasure of the class-exclusive Hi-Matic automated transmission with 16 forward and two reverse gears, the spokesman says.

The new range also offers advanced safety features such as the all disk brakes with ABS (anti-lock braking system) and ESP (electronic stability programme) specifically conceived for these 4x4 vehicles.

Iveco is also extending the Daily 4x4 family with a new van line-up offering 5.5- and 7-tonne versions that feature the same engine and the same choice of transmissions. The spacious vans offer cargo volumes ranging from 9 to 18 cu m for the single-wheel off-road and from 16 to 18 cu m for the twin-wheel all-road.

“At the top of the range, the line-up introduces an industry first: the new seven-tonne vehicle. With payload up to 4,300 kg, maximum load of 2,700 kg on the front axle and 5,000 on the rear axle, and body lengths up to 5 m, this new line takes the versatility of the Daily 4x4 to a new level,” the spokesman remarks.

The new Daily 4x4 vehicles are entirely manufactured by Iveco, requiring no modifications by body builders. This brings multiple advantages for customers, such as warranty coverage of the entire vehicle and reduced lead time for delivery.
