If you’re looking at the new 2012 Fiat Ducato and thinking it looks a lot like the 2011 model, well, you’re right. That’s because, though Fiat’s commercial vehicles division has carried out enough revisions of its prolific workhorse to call it a new model, the exterior has stayed the same.
Most of the refinements have been performed on the vehicle’s interior, which is said to be considerably more car-like than the outgoing model. That includes such niceties as an onboard refrigerator, chrome accents and a TomTom nav system featuring Blue&Me functionality developed with Microsoft.
