Iveco Daily Reviews

The Iveco Daily 42S van is the new entry-level variant of the European designed van. With a separate body of a ladder chassis and truck-derived mechanicals, it represents a hardcore workhorse than can still be driven on a standard car license in Australia.The Daily 42S seats three and features a cargo barrier between the cabin and cargo area. Two wheelbases are available, as well as two overall lengths, and payloads varying from 1741 to 1872kg. Single rear wheels mean the 42S can accommodate a standard pallet between the wheel arches.Suspension is by torsion bars at the front and leaf springs at the rear, and power comes from a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission.Standard equipment includes climate-control air-conditioning, a tilt and reach-adjustable steering column, wireless phone charging, wireless connectivity and cruise control. But the seats are cloth, the floor coverings are vinyl and the wheels are steel as testament to the van's truck heritage.The cargo area is bare steel, but well thought out and includes 10 tie-down points in the floor, three LED lights and dual rear doors that open wide. A single side door is standard but a second side door can be added.Safety has been given a big shot in the arm with this upgrade, but still really only brings the Iveco into line with the bulk of the competition. But you do now get autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and rear-cross traffic alert and assistance. There are four airbags including side-curtain bags.Iveco's warranty is a long one at six years/250,000km and service intervals are especially impressive at two years or 50,000km.

While our love affair with dual-cab utes isn't about to hit the skids any time soon, many who use such vehicles to their fullest are also discovering the charm of light trucks and vans. With tougher engineering, these vehicles make sense for operators who routinely skirt the borders of payload legality in a dual-cab. They're not for everyone, but vans like the Iveco Daily are a real alternative.

Iveco may not be a volume player in the heavier end of the light commercial market, but that doesn't mean it's not worth considering. We've put a nicely optioned example of the Daily E6 50C cab chassis to the GVM test and assessed its liveability on the job with impressive results.

Time is money and big commercial vans need to be capable, comfortable and reliable. Not to mention safe, economical and tough.

We've discovered what it's like to live with and drive with a GVM-threatening load in the back?

You call that a ute? This is a ute — Iveco's Daily 4x4. The go-anywhere hauler is finding favour with country fire brigades, which are using it as a fire support vehicle instead of Toyota LandCruiser wagons. Iveco will soon introduce a new-generation Daily in Australia, with the 4x4 version arriving here next year.
