Known as the Fiat Daily until 1983, the large van currently produced by Iveco has been around in one form or another since 1978. Thanks to a lot of powertrain options and body configurations adaptable for every business imaginable, it’s no wonder then why the boxy workhorse became the best-selling commercial vehicle in Europe.
Heck, there’s even a little bit of bella Italia in its DNA if you consider that the fourth generation has been styled by Giugiaro, car designer of the 20th century for the unknowing. It’s not as enticing as the Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint, Lancia Delta or the VW Golf Mk I, but a van styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro is simply cooler than other vans out there.
Currently at its sixth generation, nowadays Iveco looks even more outlandish than its forerunners. But the new factor isn’t limited to the exterior as 80 percent of components have been improved or designed from scratch. Moreover, the QUAD-LEAF front suspension for models up to 3.5 tons and the new rear suspension for the 2WD Daily have also been praised by the specialized press.
Currently available as a classic panel van, heavy-duty chassis cab and as a comfortable minibus, the Iveco Daily is set to receive an Unimog-like 4x4 variant late this year. These are the first spy photographs of the Iveco Daily 4x4 and it’s not surprising the Italian company decided to stretch its legs in arctic conditions. Boasting with similar looks to the previously mentioned Daily variants, the pre-production 4x4 prototype sits a lot higher from the ground and wears a single cab body.
A double cabin 4x4 is expected to be introduced as well, while powertrain options are rumoured to be limited to a single combo: Fiat’s 170 PS and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) 3-liter turbo diesel mated to either a six-speed semi-automatic gearbox or a ZF 8HP automatic transmission, whichever proves easier to adapt for the heavy-duty line of work the 2015 Iveco Daily 4x4 is designed for.
