New Engine of the Fiat Scudo 2025 Delivers More Power and Performance; See What Changes in the Fiat Van with the Updates for This Year
In January 2025, Stellantis announced a series of significant updates for its medium vans, including the Fiat Scudo, the Peugeot Expert, and the Citroën Jumpy. In addition to visual and finishing changes, the main novelty is in the mechanics: the models will now feature a new 2.2 turbo diesel engine, replacing the old 1.5 turbo diesel, which until now equipped most versions sold in Brazil and other markets.
The change in the powertrain represents a significant evolution for the Fiat Scudo 2025, promising to deliver more power, better performance on the road, and greater load capacity — fundamental characteristics for the professional audience that depends on the robustness and efficiency of these utilities. In this article, you will find all the details about the new engine of the Fiat Scudo, the technical specifications, impacts on fuel consumption, and how the update can reposition the model in the competitive medium van market in Brazil.

In the case of the trio Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert, and Fiat Scudo, the new 2.2 turbo diesel engine rated at 150 horsepower and 370 Nm replaces the old one, which had 120 horsepower and 300 Nm, representing an increase of 30 horsepower and 23.2% in torque. The models continue with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The changes were necessary due to the new, stricter pollutant emission regulations under Proconve L8, which came into effect at the beginning of this year.
Classified as Light Urban Vehicle (LUV), the Jumpy, Expert, and Scudo vans are structurally and mechanically identical; however, they differ in front-end details and the logos of each brand. All of them can be driven by drivers with a category B driver’s license and have cargo and passenger versions.
Main Improvements
With the new set, Stellantis’s trio achieved significant improvements in fuel consumption, averaging 12.4 km/l in the city and 13.7 km/l on the highway, making them 4.2% and 15.1% more economical, respectively. The new engine also brought performance advantages to the models, with acceleration from 60 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and from 80 to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds, with average improvements of 2 seconds.
Even with the new engine, the Fiat Scudo’s load capacity remains at up to 1.5 tons, in addition to the total cargo area and other equipment.
In the second half of last year, the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert, and Fiat Scudo vans received new front bumpers, a redesigned radiator grille, and revamped headlights. Standard features include electric steering, speed limiter, digital dashboard, and cruise control.
The Fiat Scudo 2025 features unibody architecture that adds rigidity, robustness, and comfort, with independent suspension on all four wheels. Additionally, it maintains excellent load capacity of up to 1.5 tons, with a length of 5.3 m, 6.1 m³ of volume, and a height of 1.97 m. There is also a double rear door with 180-degree opening, along with a sliding side door that makes loading and unloading easier.

The large van segment has been experiencing stability in sales, with strong demand from fleet operators, logistics companies, and service providers. Models like those mentioned in this article continue to be the main competitors of the Scudo. With the new engine, Fiat aims to maintain its competitiveness against rivals that also invest in more efficient versions adapted for urban use.
The brand has not yet announced design or content changes for the current versions, focusing the update exclusively on the mechanical aspect. Market expectations are that the new engine will expand the model’s competitiveness, especially among small and medium entrepreneurs.
Included in the standard equipment list are air conditioning, power steering, rear parking sensors, rain and twilight sensors, cruise control with speed limiter, electric locks and windows, electrically adjustable mirrors, digital instrument panel, onboard computer, multifunction steering wheel, radio with 5-inch touch screen, and height and depth adjustable steering wheel, among others.
