Euro Motors makes Fiat Doblo more attractive


The European Fiat Doblo is fast making an impression on the Sri Lankan car market as a multi-purpose utility vehicle which could be purchased at a very reasonable price. The local agents for Fiat, Euro Motors are deliberately slashing their profits and keeping the price down to make this car attractive to the mass market who are relatively unfamiliar with this European vehicle.

“With the Euro shooting up, import duties rising, we are yet holding on to competitive prices because we want this promotional offer to hit the hearts and minds of Sri Lankans” says Chinthani Mendis, brand manager for Fiat in Sri Lanka. Even in this depressed market scenario, Euro Motors say that their sales have been very encouraging and more and more people are seeing the benefit of purchasing a new European car which has additional advantages to the reconditioned Asian vehicles.

Euro Motors who have been the agents for Fiat for just over a year say that they are very confident that this brand of cars will be dominant in Sri Lanka, just as it was in the 1970s.

The Doblo’s interior is solidly constructed with quality of materials and there’s no shortage of space, making the Multi -Purpose vehicle the ideal family car .Passengers are well catered for with twin sliding rear doors making access easy and there is seating for five with the possibility of adding 2 extra seats which can be fitted locally. Both leg and shoulder room are good and there is enough headroom. The cavernous boot of the Doblo provides more luggage space and it comes with 2 air bags and a rear parking sensor.

The Doblo is equipped with Four sensor ABS, fire prevention system (FPS), power mirrors and front power shutters, fog lights/follow me home head lights (after switching the engine off the lights can be programmed to switch off after 60 , 90 and 120,seconds) and a remote door opening/locking system.

Euro Motors say that the Doblo has been responsible for more than 50% of their sales this year with more and more Sri Lankans beginning to appreciate its multi tasking features.

The Fiat Doblo also comes with the full service backing of Euro Motors’ state-of-the-art workshop in Peliyagoda which is equipped to handle all service aspects, including lubricant, accident repair, electronic online vehicle examination and computerized wheel balancing apart from general maintenance services.

The Workshop is managed by a team of skilled, well trained, and experienced staff, some of whom have been trained at Fiat head quarters in Italy, to ensure that customers get the best after sales service in Sri Lanka.
