Impressive design

A light commercial van with striking good looks, this vehicle benefits from Italian styling with sharp lines and a vibrant colour palette helping it stand out from the crowd.

It’s one of the only vans on the market to use separate body and chassis construction setting it apart from the competition and allowing it to carry heavier payloads in comparison to vans with a unibody construction. Indeed, the Iveco Daily has the capacity to carry anything from 3.3 to 7 tonnes depending on which specification and body style you opt for. The design works in its favour with a high roof and straight sides providing maximum interior space. The load platform of recent models has also been lowered making it easier to load and unload cargo.

Cab and interior

Hop inside and you’ll discover a meticulously crafted interior with premium fabrics, plenty of storage and an intuitive dashboard layout. Spacious and comfortable with plenty of headroom, the Iveco Cab has been designed with long journeys in mind and doesn’t feel at all cramped and stuffy. Newer models offer a small, practical steering wheel as well as adjustable rake and reach for comfort. Every driver is different and the Iveco Daily caters to this nicely. The high driving position also frees up legroom and offers a clear view of the road ahead, while the large door mirrors maximise visibility helping you to feel confident as you navigate between jobs.

Technology

The Iveco Daily isn’t just a strong powerhouse designed to get you from A to B in style. It also aims to improve your overall on-road experience by offering a wealth of advanced technology, finely tweaked to meet your needs. The Iveco has undergone many changes and facelifts over the years, but newer models offer a DAB radio and LED screen as standard.

Access your apps through smartphone compatibility, stream your favourite music and stay connected on-the-go. As van drivers regularly need to find new places, satellite navigation is also an option for select models. TomTom will even take into account the weight and size of your van before planning routes, so you don’t meet low-rise bridges and other inconveniences that could throw you off track.

Driver assist systems

Technology also comes in the form of driver assist systems. These include Iveco’s Advanced Emergency Braking and City Brake Pro for your peace of mind as well as other highlights such as cruise control with queue assist, active lane-keeping assist so you don’t sway into a different lane of traffic and crosswind assist. An electronic parking brake and hill descent control also combine to ensure you’ve optimum control of your Iveco Daily while out and about.
