Fiat gets by in Australia with just two models – three if you count leftover stock of the now-axed petrol-powered 500 – but now it’s finally getting another vehicle.
Sitting under the Fiat Professional banner and slotting in below the full-size Ducato van, the 2026 Fiat Scudo is a mid-size van aimed directly at the top-selling Toyota HiAce, as well as the Hyundai Staria Load and Ford Transit Custom.
It’s due in local showrooms from February, priced from $48,490 before on-road costs.
And if it looks familiar, that’s because it is: the ‘new’ Fiat Scudo is a Peugeot Expert by another name.

It gives Fiat Australia its first vehicle in this segment since the last Scudo, which was offered here from 2008 to 2017, and was also a rebadged Peugeot Expert.
The Scudo Series 3 is the latest version of the third-generation mid-size Stellantis vans launched in 2016, which also wear Citroen, Opel, Vauxhall, Iveco and Toyota badges in other markets.
Fiat Australia is offering the Scudo in two trims, and despite their SWB and LWB names they both have the same 3275mm wheelbase.
However, overall length differs between the two configurations, at 4983mm and 5333mm respectively, thanks to a longer rear overhang in LWB variants.
It can be had with glazed rear doors that open 270 degrees or, for an extra $700, a glazed liftgate.
Most of Fiat’s business in Australia is now in vans. Last year, Fiat delivered 1541 Ducatos against just 411 examples of the 500 city car, including leftover stock of the discontinued petrol-powered model.
