Iveco’s Daily commercial range of vans and cab-chassis has been around since 1978 and in that time the Italian manufacturer has sold more than three million of them across the globe, in both LHD and RHD markets. In 2021, after more than four decades and six model generations, Iveco continues this steady evolution with its latest Daily E6 range.
The new van line-up, which like the cab-chassis variants competes in the Light Duty (3501-8000kg GVM) segment of the Heavy Commercial market, brings new Euro 6-compliant engines, additional standard active safety features headlined by AEB and increased cabin appointments.
The E6 range also offers an eyeball-spinning choice of models, drivetrains, wheelbases, roof heights, load volumes and GVMs, designed to cater for many commercial requirements. We recently put one of these vans to work and discovered a capable all-rounder.

Verdict
Australia’s 3501-8000kg GVM commercial vehicle market is highly competitive, with at last count 12 brands and 15 models fighting for market share. The Iveco Daily Van’s modest sales in this segment are not reflective of the robust engineering, performance, low emissions, driver comfort and load-carrying attributes of this vehicle, which is worthy of consideration and a test drive by prospective van buyers. It has its shortcomings, like any vehicle, but there’s lots to like here.
