Iveco is introducing a special ‘Platinum’ version of its new Daily 35-130 van – a high-spec model designed to appeal to owner-drivers and small businesses.

The special edition Platinum model has a 3.5 tonne gross vehicle weight and is powered by a 2.3 litre 130 hp diesel engine.

It is available with a choice of a 10.8m3 or 16m3 load space compartment, and will retail at £19,995 and £20,995 respectively.

Each Platinum-spec New Daily comes with the highest level option pack, the ‘Top Pack’, fitted as standard. This includes rear parking sensors, spring-suspended driver’s seat, air conditioning with climate control, cornering front fog lights, cruise-control, heated electric mirrors, remote control central locking, additional storage compartments, 140 amp alternator and a heavy-duty battery.

It also features Iveco’s all-new multimedia and satellite navigation system as standard, enabling the driver to input vehicle weight and height information in order to ensure the optimal route for the load being carried. Iveco’s navigation system incorporates TomTom mapping for 43 European countries, as well as a Bluetooth connection, plus iPod and iPhone audio controls.

Each Daily Platinum model also comes with a three-year free servicing package, based on 25,000 miles per annum. This is ideal for small businesses looking to renew or grow their vehicle fleets whilst negating the need to budget for maintenance costs in the first three years, says Iveco.

The Iveco Elements package includes all servicing and routine checks, greasing, oil changes and fluids, plus the supply of Iveco Origin genuine replacement parts.

Martin Flach, product director at Iveco, said: “The new Daily Platinum edition builds on an already excellent package available with our standard new Daily models to provide the additional luxuries and on-board features which retail customers in particular aspire to.

“The core attributes which allowed the new Daily to win the coveted International Van of the Year 2015 title allow us to provide a highly competitive vehicle which is not only strong by nature, but which also guarantees maximum comfort and safety for the driver.”
