How to spot one

Look for

  • 2006 cab: large clear-lens units group the headlights, fog lights and front turn signals.4
  • 2016 35S13: broad plastic side protection and a front-bumper step for cleaning the windshield.18
  • 2020 front: V-shaped lines link the IVECO-lettered hood to the bumper.19
  • 2015 Daily 4x4: towering ride height and off-road Michelin tires.14

Year by year

  1. 1982–1983

    IVECO moved from a small lower-right I logo to the grille center; Fiat or Unic lettering remained at lower right.3

  2. 1990; 1996

    The 1990 facelift replaced the cab; 1996 brought subtler exterior changes and a revised dashboard.36

  3. 1999

    Wider, lower lamp clusters arrived with the second series, which also dropped the TurboDaily name.3

  4. 2006

    The new cab gained clear-lens light clusters, a high bumper and large mirrors with side indicators.4

  5. 2014

    Longer wheelbases and shorter rear overhangs changed the proportions; single-rear-wheel models gained a lower loading platform.8

  6. 2019–2020

    The facelift added full LED headlights; 2020 styling uses a three-piece bumper and fork-shaped light guides.319
