Fiat Professional has announced its new Fullback pickup truck will cost from £20,995 (excluding VAT, VED, delivery and plates).

Available as a double cab only and with all-wheel drive standard on all versions, the entry level SX version is powered a 2.4-litre diesel engine with a variable-geometry turbo charger which produces 150hp and 380Nm of torque while returning a fuel economy figure of 44.2mpg and its CO2 emissions of 169g/km. The standard SX transmission comprises a six-speed manual gearbox with on demand four-wheel drive system and three electrically-selected settings: 2H, 4H and 4L.

A higher-spec LX manual is priced from £22,995 (excluding VAT and OTR charges) while the LX automatic is priced from £24,395 (excluding VAT and OTR charges). The power and torque outputs of LX version are increased to 180hp and 430Nm, while the full-time four-wheel drive system has four electrically-controlled settings: 2H, 4H plus 4HLc and 4LLc with a locking central differential for improved traction. Its official combined-cycle fuel economy figure is 42.2mpg and CO2 emissions come in at 173g/km.

Fiat says the front end of the Fullback adopts the appearance of a sports SUV with its ‘swept-back fascia, chunky front bumper and roomy cab-forward layout’. Satin silver trim frames the front grille on the entry-level SX, while LX versions also have a satin silver trim around sump protector, as well as chrome-finished door mirrors, door handles and side steps. 16-inch alloy wheels are standard on the SX while 17-inch alloy wheels and ‘substantial’, body-coloured wheel arch protectors are added to the LX model.
