3 generation (2021–, restyling 2024–)

The 3 generation Fiat Ulysse is a Minivan. The opening window starts 2021-10-01; stop is not measured. That window has 1 version: 50 kW (Electro, 136 hp / 100 kW, Automatic, 1 gear, RWD).

Combined, 3 generation has 3 versions.

Engines and specs

Exact version names from the database. Duplicate names are split by power (and, where power matches, by 0–100 and kerb mass). English labels are those in the data. Disc is the rear/front disc label as stored. Boost No means the data says No. Layout V-shaped is only on 3.0 AT.

Engine placement Front, transverse is measured on most combustion versions; it is not measured on 2 generation 2.0 MT (107 hp Diesel), 2.0 AT (136 hp Gasoline), 2.0 AT (107 hp Diesel), and on 50 kW. Injection Distributed injection (multi-point) is measured on Gasoline versions that list it; Diesel injection is not measured. Fuel grade 95 is the Gasoline label; Diesel versions use fuel Diesel; 50 kW uses Electro. Eco class is not measured on all versions. CO2 is 0 on 50 kW and not measured on every other version.

Valves per cylinder: 2 on 2 generation 2.0 MT (107 hp Diesel) and 2.0 AT (107 hp Diesel), on 1 generation 2.0 MT (121 hp and 147 hp) and restyling 2.0 MT (121 hp, 147 hp, and 109 hp / 240 Nm); 4 on the remaining combustion versions that list a figure. Compression and bore × stroke are version-specific (for example 2 generation Diesel 2.0 MT 107 hp: compression 18, 85 × 88; Gasoline 2.0 MT 136 hp: 10.8, 85 × 88). Where a field is empty in the data, it is not measured.

Which version to choose

Choice here is arithmetic on the catalogue numbers, not a sales pitch.

Lowest combined fuel use: restyling 2.0 MT (109 hp, 270 Nm) at 6.7 l/100 km, then 2 generation 2.0 MT (120 hp Diesel) at 6.9. Both are Diesel, Manual, FWD. The 120 hp car is 0.6 s quicker to 100 (12.9 vs 15.2) and 5 km/h faster at the top (180 vs 175).

Strongest Diesel torque: restyling 2.2 AT (both 180 hp) at 450 Nm from 1500–2500 rpm, 132 kW, 2184 cm³. The lighter 2.2 AT (1820 kg) reaches 100 km/h in 8.8 s; the heavier 2.2 AT (1943 kg) takes 11 s. Top speed is 185 km/h on both. Combined use is 7 on both. That 8.8 s is 1.3 s quicker than 1 generation 2.0 MT (147 hp) at 10.1 s, and 1.4 s quicker than 3.0 AT at 10.2 s.

Most power: 2 generation 3.0 AT at 204 hp (150 kW), 285 Nm, 2946 cm³, Gasoline, Automatic 4, FWD. It is the only V-shaped 6-cylinder. Combined 11.5 l/100 km is 4.6 above the 6.9 of 2.0 MT (120 hp Diesel). Top speed 205 km/h is 20 km/h above the 185 of Gasoline 2.0 MT (136 hp) and of both 2024 2.2 AT.

Gasoline without Turbo in 2 generation: 2.0 MT (136 hp) vs 2.0 AT (136 hp). Same 136 hp and 190 Nm. Manual 5 vs Automatic 4. 0–100 11.2 vs 14.4 s (Automatic is 3.2 s slower). Top speed 185 vs 178. Combined 9.1 vs 9.6.

Same 107 hp Diesel, Manual vs Automatic (2 generation): 2.0 MT (107 hp) 0–100 13.4 s, 174 km/h, combined 7.1; 2.0 AT (107 hp) 15.1 s, 167 km/h, combined 8. Automatic is 1.7 s slower and uses 0.9 l/100 km more combined.

2 generation Diesel ladder at 1997 cm³: 107 hp / 270 Nm / 5-speed; 109 hp / 270 Nm / 5-speed; 120 hp / 300 Nm / 6-speed; 136 hp / 320 Nm / 6-speed. From 107 to 136 hp is +29 hp and +50 Nm. 0–100 drops from 13.4 to 11.4 s (−2.0 s). Top speed rises from 174 to 190 (+16 km/h). Combined stays 7.1 on 107 hp and 136 hp; 120 hp is 6.9.

2.2 MT (128 hp) vs 2.0 MT (136 hp Diesel): the 2.2 has 2179 cm³ and 314 Nm but 128 hp; the 2.0 Diesel has 320 Nm and 136 hp. 0–100 12.5 vs 11.4 s. Combined 7.4 vs 7.1. Kerb 1785 vs 1665 kg (+120 kg on the 2.2).

Electro: 50 kW is 136 hp / 100 kW, Automatic 1, RWD, CO2 0, top speed 130 km/h. Torque, displacement, 0–100, consumption, tank, kerb, gross, clearance and wheels are not measured. It is the only RWD Ulysse in this catalogue.

Lightest vs heaviest measured: restyling 1.8 MT (100 hp) 1420 kg kerb vs 2.2 AT (180 hp, 11.0 s) 1943 kg — difference 523 kg. Gross on those two: 2085 vs 2900 (+815 kg).

Problems and reliability

This catalogue has no failure counts, oil-spec tables, or workshop claims. “Problems” and “reliability” are not measured here. What is measured and often mixed up on used cars is identity of same-named engines: several 2.0 MT rows exist at 107, 109, 120, 132, 136 (Diesel) and 121, 136, 147 (Gasoline) horsepower. Match power, fuel, gearbox and 0–100 before comparing two cars that both say 2.0 MT.
