Street Savvy with a Workman's Face

The Ducato cuts a boxy, purposeful silhouette that hides a surprising amount of design thought, with a modern front end and functional lines that prioritise load space over flash. Its footprint is substantial — widths around 2050 mm and lengths that reach up to 6678 mm on the longest variants — so it commands presence on the road and needs space to park. Roof heights vary widely, with tall options pushing above 2.7 metres, which not only affects garage access but lets the van take on tall cargo or conversion projects. The overall look says “dependable tool,” which will appeal more to fleets and converters than to trend seekers.

Cabin That Works, Not One That Worries

The interior is built for durability with hard-wearing plastics, easy-to-clean surfaces and controls laid out for daily use rather than show. Seating is configured for up to 3 occupants up front, with supportive chairs for long days and plenty of storage cubbies and trays for paperwork, tools and coffee cups. Visibility is broad thanks to a commanding driving position and large mirrors, though noise insulation is conservative — expect some diesel rumble at motorway speeds. Ergonomics favour function: switches, ventilation and the infotainment screen are within easy reach and designed to survive heavy use.

Cargo Capacity That Actually Solves Problems

The Ducato’s raison d’être is space, and it delivers with load volumes that reach as high as around 17,000 litres on the biggest configurations and payloads that can go up towards 2,020 kg depending on the spec. Shorter L2/H1 models are easier to manoeuvre in town and still swallow standard pallets, while the L3/L4 and high-roof versions make camper conversions or trade vans genuinely practical. Sliding side doors, low load sills and multiple tie-down points make loading and organising cargo straightforward, saving time at every job. In everyday use this translates to fewer trips, simpler loading and more choice when tailoring a van to a business need.

Drive Feel: Predictable, Capable, Purpose-Built

Front-wheel drive gives the Ducato good traction in wet or tight conditions and helps keep the load floor low for easier loading and a sensible centre of gravity when empty. Diesel engines span the familiar Multijet range with outputs from about 120–180 hp and mid-range torque figures that typically sit in the ~320–450 Nm window, while the electric e‑Ducato offers 270 hp with instant torque for brisk urban response. Suspension and steering are tuned for stability and load-carrying rather than sporty handling, so the van feels composed on the motorway and secure under load but leans noticeably in corners when empty. Overall, driving characteristics prioritise comfort for long days and predictability when laden, which is what most users need.

Fuel, Batteries and Real-World Range

Diesel consumption for the Multijet units is quoted in the mid-to-high single digits with values commonly around 7.5–9.0 L/100 km depending on size and gearbox, so a 90 L tank can still yield very long driving ranges between fill-ups — often well over 1,000 km in mixed conditions if lightly loaded. The electric e‑Ducato pairs a 110 kWh battery with a quoted WLTP range near 430 km, which makes it viable for many urban delivery routes but subject to payload, temperature and accessory use. In practice, heavier loads, roof boxes or frequent motorway use push consumption up on both diesel and electric versions, so choose the powertrain with daily mission and charging/refuelling access in mind. Total cost of ownership will hinge on utilisation patterns, local energy prices and how frequently the vehicle returns to base.

Driver Aids and Onboard Tech That Keep the Day Moving

Safety and convenience features are pragmatic: adaptive cruise, lane-keeping aids, parking sensors and reversing cameras are available and help reduce fatigue on long runs and tight manoeuvres. The infotainment system supports smartphone mirroring and navigation, and fleet-focused telematics options make tracking, servicing and route planning easier for managers. Interface simplicity is a strength — controls are tactile and readable in work gloves, so the technology is intended to be useful rather than fussy.

Who Buys a Ducato and Which One to Pick

The Ducato is aimed squarely at tradespeople, courier and delivery fleets, camper converters and anyone needing a flexible, spacious workhorse that can be tailored to a role. For long-distance haulers and towing work the diesel Multijet family (common outputs around 120–180 hp) remains the sensible choice, while the e‑Ducato with 270 hp and a large battery is compelling for urban operators seeking zero-emission operation and lower running noise. With a wide range of body lengths, roof heights and equipment levels, the Ducato is best chosen to match daily routes, payload needs and whether access to charging or refuelling favours electric or diesel power.
