The Fiat Professional Scudo Series 3 is set to arrive in Australian dealerships from February 2026, marking the return of the mid-size van to one of the country’s most competitive light commercial segments.
Designed to suit the needs of modern trades, service fleets and delivery operators, the Scudo Series 3 combines a compact external footprint with flexible cargo capacity, updated in-cabin technology and a comprehensive suite of standard safety systems.
Efficient diesel powertrain for everyday operations
Powering the Scudo Series 3 is a 2.0-litre MultiJet3 turbo-diesel engine delivering 110kW and 370Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain has been engineered to balance performance with efficiency, recording a combined fuel consumption figure of 6.3L/100km (ADR81/02).
For fleet operators, the combination of strong low-end torque and smooth automatic shifting supports both urban stop-start driving and longer highway runs. A 69-litre fuel tank and load-adaptive suspension are designed to maintain stability and comfort across varying payloads.
Compact dimensions with flexible load space
Despite its city-friendly dimensions, the Scudo Series 3 offers competitive load-carrying capability. Two body lengths are available — Short Wheelbase (SWB) and Long Wheelbase (LWB) — both maintaining a vehicle height of 1.94 metres, allowing access to most car parks and height-restricted worksites.
Cargo volume ranges from 5.3m³ to 6.6m³, with payloads exceeding 1.3 tonnes depending on configuration. A load width of 1,258mm between the wheel arches allows the transport of Australian and European standard pallets, while dual sliding side doors and 270-degree rear doors improve access in tight loading zones.
Cabin focused on comfort and productivity
Inside, the Scudo Series 3 adopts a car-like cabin layout aimed at reducing driver fatigue and supporting productivity across the working day. Visibility is enhanced by the elevated seating position, while storage options are distributed throughout the cabin, including dashboard compartments, gloveboxes and under-seat storage.
Technology features include a 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch Uconnect infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing drivers to stay connected without added complexity. Steering wheel-mounted controls and dual USB-C ports further support everyday usability.
Higher-grade variants introduce additional comfort and functionality, including dual-zone climate control, LED lighting and a configurable “Mobile Office” setup that allows the cabin to double as a workspace between jobs.
Safety systems standard across the range
Safety is a key focus of the Scudo Series 3, with a broad range of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems fitted as standard across all variants. These include:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Lane Keep Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Intelligent Speed Assist
- Driver Attention Assist
- Blind Spot Assist
- Six airbags
For fleets, the inclusion of these systems as standard supports driver safety, compliance and risk reduction across mixed-use operations.
Built for a wide range of business applications
With a 3,100kg Gross Vehicle Mass, front-wheel-drive layout and a 600kg towing capacity, the Scudo Series 3 is positioned to suit a wide range of commercial roles — from trades and service fleets to last-mile delivery and local government operations.
Available in two wheelbase lengths and two trim levels, the Scudo Series 3 provides flexibility without unnecessary complexity, aligning with the needs of businesses looking for a practical, efficient and well-specified mid-size van.
The return of the Fiat Professional Scudo Series 3 expands choice in the light commercial market, offering fleet and business buyers a modern alternative that balances efficiency, safety and everyday usability.
