IVECO Daily – Technical Data & Specifications

The IVECO Daily is a light commercial vehicle platform spanning five generations from 1978 to the present, engineered primarily as a van and pickup workhorse for European and global markets. IVECO built the Daily around diesel powertrains from the outset, with a brief petrol offering in the first generation, and has continuously expanded the body-type range to include short and long van configurations, double-cab pickups, and minibus variants. The Automobilisto database documents 67 variants across all generations, with power outputs ranging from 72 PS in early models to 177 PS in contemporary diesel units.

How the model evolved

IVECO engineered the Daily as a modular commercial platform with consistent rear-wheel-drive architecture and front-mounted diesel engines, prioritizing payload flexibility and service intervals over passenger-car refinement. The first generation established the three-wheelbase van template and ran for twelve years before the 1990 update eliminated petrol options and raised power outputs. The 1999 second-generation redesign brought a new chassis and Euro-compliant diesel engines, with power peaking at 166 PS by 2006. The 2006 restyling added the pickup double-cab body type to address construction and utility markets, while the 2011 update introduced minibus variants and pushed maximum diesel output to 177 PS. Across five generations, IVECO has maintained the Daily's core engineering philosophy: a durable, diesel-powered platform adaptable to van, pickup, and minibus roles without fundamental drivetrain changes. The model remains in production, with the database recording 67 variants spanning 72–177 PS and five distinct body configurations.

Market context

The Daily serves as IVECO's primary light commercial vehicle for European, African, and select Asian markets, competing against the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Renault Master. IVECO positioned the Daily as a payload-focused alternative to car-derived vans, with gross vehicle weight ratings extending into the 3.5–7.2-tonne class depending on configuration. The model has no direct predecessor or successor, functioning as a continuously evolved platform rather than a replaced nameplate.
