For This engine provides the best balance of performance and economy, and in Eleganza trim, it comes with alloy wheels, electric rear windows and a leather steering wheel.

Against Choosing Eleganza trim makes the Doblo a smidge too pricey, and the specification is still far from generous. The engine can be noisy when revved hard.

2 out of 5 stars

This version has the engine we’d go for, but we’d recommend spending a little less and settling for Dynamic trim.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

You don't need to spend a long time looking at the Doblo to work out its origins. It's also sold – minus some windows and seats – as a van.

As you'd expect, the boxy body and sliding side doors make it a practical family car. That said, rear-seat legroom isn't as generous as you might think, and if you fold down the rear seats, the boot is flat but not very long. The rearmost two seats in seven-seat versions are for occasional use only.

Entry-level Active versions are a little sparse on kit – you get a CD player and electric front windows, but that’s about it. We’d recommend upgrading to Mylife trim, which adds air-conditioning. As for engines, we’d recommend the 1.6 diesel. It’s the cleanest and most frugal option, and still reasonably affordable to buy.
