The exterior design of the Fiat e-Scudo Crew is both modern and practical. It features clean lines and a robust stance that shows its capability and reliability. The front end is marked by a sleek grille and LED headlights that enhance its modern look but also improve visibility on the road. The compact dimensions make it well-suited for urban environments, where manoeuvrability is crucial. Despite its practical design, the e-Scudo doesn’t compromise on style, offering a professional appearance that’s sure to make a good impression on clients and partners alike.

When it comes to practicality, the Fiat e-Scudo Crew excels. It’s designed to meet the demands of various business operations, offering a solution for transporting both passengers and cargo. The Crew Cab variant is particularly comfortable at accommodating up to six passengers, making it ideal for work crews or group transport. The layout of the interior is great, with easy access to controls and plenty of storage compartments throughout the cabin. This ensures that tools, documents, and personal items can be securely stowed, keeping the workspace organised.

Boot space is a crucial factor for any commercial vehicle, and the Fiat e-Scudo Crew delivers. Even with the rear seats in use, there’s ample cargo space to accommodate tools, equipment, or deliveries. For businesses that require more load space, the rear seats can be folded down, significantly increasing the available cargo area. This flexibility allows the e-Scudo Crew to adapt to different needs, whether it’s carrying passengers, bulky items, or a combination of both. With a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,000 kg, it’s capable of handling heavy loads, making it a great leasing option.

The interior of the new Fiat e-Scudo Crew is designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, catering to professionals who spend long hours on the road. The cabin is spacious, well-appointed, and packed with features. Whether you’re driving solo or with a full crew, the e-Scudo Crew’s interior is equipped to handle the demands of your workday.

Inside the Fiat e-Scudo Crew, you’ll immediately notice the attention to detail in the design. The seats are upholstered in durable, easy-to-clean materials, ensuring they stand up to the rigours of daily use. The seating layout is flexible, with enough room to comfortably seat up to six passengers, making it ideal for transporting groups of passengers. The driver’s seat is adjustable, allowing for a customised driving position, which is essential for long hours behind the wheel.

The dashboard is a user-friendly infotainment system featuring a 7-inch touchscreen that provides access to navigation features, audio controls, and vehicle settings. Comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless smartphone integration for hands-free calls, music streaming, and access to apps.

The e-Scudo is equipped with a 100% electric motor that provides instant torque, ensuring quick acceleration and a responsive driving experience. This makes it ideal for urban driving, where stop-start traffic is common.

The van is powered by a choice of two battery options: 50 kWh and 75 kWh. The 50 kWh battery offers a range of up to 139 miles on a single charge, while the 75 kWh battery extends this to an impressive 217 miles, depending on driving conditions.

The Fiat e-Scudo Crew is great to drive, with its quiet electric motor reducing cabin noise creating a calm and focused environment. The van is equipped with an automatic transmission, providing a smooth and effortless drive.

The e-Scudo features regenerative braking, which helps to recharge the battery during deceleration, enhancing its efficiency. The regenerative braking system also contributes to a smoother driving experience by reducing the need for frequent braking.

In terms of handling, the e-Scudo is designed with a low centre of gravity, thanks to the battery placement, which improves stability and balance even when fully loaded. The suspension system has been finely tuned to absorb road imperfections, delivering a comfortable ride for both driver and passengers.
