FIAT Professional has updated its mid-size van lineup for 2025, sharpening both style and substance. The new Scudo and E-Scudo S-Design bring a sportier aesthetic without compromising utility. Aimed at commercial operators who value efficiency, low emissions, and visual appeal, this redesign updates one of Europe’s most trusted vans.
Both diesel and electric versions are on offer. The E-Scudo S-Design strengthens FIAT’s growing EV portfolio while maintaining the same load capacity and practicality as its combustion sibling.
What’s New in the 2025 FIAT Scudo and E-Scudo S-Design?
Aesthetics Built for the Street
FIAT Professional calls the new look “sporty and dynamic.” That means cleaner lines, new exterior finishes, and black styling elements aimed at making the van look less industrial and more personal.
Exterior upgrades include:
- Glossy black grille and headlight surrounds
- Black FIAT badge with red background
- Gloss black wheels and mirror caps
- New S-Design badge on the front doors
The goal is to bridge commercial needs with passenger-vehicle styling. The S-Design package is aimed at professionals who care how their vehicle represents their business.
Under the Hood – Diesel and EV Options
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)
The 2025 Scudo comes with a choice of 1.5L or 2.0L diesel engines. These engines focus on fuel economy and compliance with Euro 6D standards.
Key ICE specs:
| Engine Type | Power Output | Transmission | Fuel Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L | 120 hp | Manual | Diesel |
| 2.0L | 145 hp | Auto | Diesel |
- All engines include Stop & Start tech to reduce emissions
- Maximum payload capacity: 1,400 kg
- Towing capacity: 2,500 kg
Electric Variant – The E-Scudo S-Design
The E-Scudo offers two battery sizes—50 kWh and 75 kWh—with a WLTP range of up to 205 miles.
E-Scudo key facts:
- Max power: 136 hp
- Top speed: 81 mph
- Fast charging (100 kW DC): 0–80% in around 30 minutes

FIAT focused on preserving interior and cargo space by integrating the battery below the floor. This keeps the E-Scudo just as usable for tradespeople, fleet operators, or courier services.
Inside the Cabin – Business-Oriented Comfort
The interior of both versions sees minor updates, with functionality still leading the design.
Cabin features include:
- Adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support

Why S-Design Matters for Commercial Buyers
The S-Design trim isn’t about luxury—it’s about reputation and recognition. For small business owners and tradespeople, the vehicle doubles as a mobile billboard.
Visual impact matters. The gloss black elements, badge tweaks, and signature S-Design touches give this van a more confident stance on city streets.
- It helps brands stand out without expensive custom wraps
