IVECO’s new limited Edition ‘Daily Blue’ model features a long list of standard features, an eye-catching colour treatment and an extended five-year/200,000 km factory warranty.

To celebrate the Daily Blue Power being named International Van of the Year 2018, IVECO has launched a limited edition ‘Blue‘-inspired model in New Zealand, providing customers with extra value along with an eye-catching colour treatment.

Available exclusively on the Daily 35S17 van (3520mm wheelbase and 12m³ van capacity), the Blue Edition has an extended five-year/200,000 kilometre factory warranty, and a long list of standard features and added road presence courtesy of its electric blue grille, distinctive blue headlight edges, blue alloy wheels and special edition badging.

Lashings of blue, taking inspiration from the Daily Blue Power van, which won ‘International van of the Year 2018’.

The premium interior includes blue steering wheel stitching, unique headrests and a blue transmission shifter that complements the two-tone blue dashboard.

Other standard features include 270°-opening rear doors, the IVECONNECT navigation and multimedia system, a reversing buzzer and fog lamps. Also included is a heated and suspended driver‘s seat with bench for two passengers, and automatic climate control.

Blue headlight edges provide added presence on the road.

Appearance and functionality aside, the model features IVECO‘s market-leading Hi-Matic 8-speed full automatic transmission, coupled to IVECO‘s powerful yet efficient 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine which produces 170hp (130kW) of power and 430Nm of torque.

On the safety front, the Daily Blue features front and rear disc brakes with ABS and IVECO ‘ESP 9‘ safety program, which includes Electronic Stability Program and a host of other active safety equipment. Passive safety features include four SRS airbags.

Behind the blue rims is the superior stopping power of four wheel disc brakes with ABS and ESP 9 safety program.

IVECO dealer principal – New Zealand, Jason Keddie, said the limited edition Daily Blue presented great value and also provided buyers with a visually unique van that would stand out from the crowd.

“The Daily Blue will be immediately attractive to the market courtesy of its long list of standard features and additional extended warranty, plus eye-catching styling,” Keddie said.

270°-opening rear barn doors and a low chassis height provide easy access to the Daily‘s 12m³ load space.

“The combination of these high specification levels, coupled with generous dimensions and extra value items, make it ideal for a wide range of trade and courier applications.”

Keddie expects the limited number of special edition vans to be snapped up quickly.

  The premium interior features a wide selection of appointments including automatic climate control and the IVECONNECT navigation and multimedia system.

A heated and suspended driver’s seat with bench seat for two passengers provides a spacious and comfortable ride.
