A large van with a small engine is never ideal, especially if you have to move from job to job in hurry.
While the Scudo's fuel consumption and 4 refinement are up there with the best, the 1.6-litre Multijet is a little too underpowered for our liking; and this is evident when in stop-start town driving.
If it were our money, we'd spend that bit extra and get the more powerful, yetstill-sensible, mid-range 119hp version.
Engine aside, there's stilt much to recommend in the Scudo's case, especially in terms of dynamics, overall practicality and price.
It might not be the most electrifying van on the market, but it covers all the bases to an acceptable standard.
While, there's little wrong with the Scudo, it isn't a standout in the LCV circuit such as the Mercedes-Benz Vito or Vauxhall Vivaro is. Although the Fiat ticks all the boxes in terms of reliability, practicality and drivability, there are still no characteristics that help differentiate it from its rivals.
After spending a week with the Scudo, and exploring all it had to offer, it's easy to see that it's a good van rather than a really great one.
