FactFor a brief stretch in the early 2000s, Fiat's first Doblò was being built in North Korea under license, badged as the Pyeonghwa "Ppeokkugi" — Korean for "Cuckoo."
The first Fiat Doblò (Type 223), a panel van and leisure activity vehicle unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 2000 and first sold in January 2001. It uses the platform of the Fiat Strada, related to the Punto, Palio, Albea and Siena and to the Lancia Y, was first launched in the Netherlands and won the 2006 International Van of the Year award. It carries up to 730 kg in 3.2 cubic metres, and there were long-wheelbase Doblò Maxi and raised Adventure versions. It was built in Turkey by Tofaş and in Betim, Brazil, until 2021, and also assembled in North Korea as the Pyeonghwa Ppeokkugi, in Russia and in Vietnam; in Singapore a 1.4-litre variant was sold as the Fiat Panorama. Engines were the 1.2 and 1.4 Fire and 1.6 petrols, a 1.6 Natural Power CNG and the 1.3 Multijet and 1.9 diesels, and there were electric Micro-Vett conversions.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This generation walked away from the 2010 Hanover Motor Show with the International Van of the Year 2011 award.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
