Fiat Ulysse dimensions

"eurovans" is a common name applied to nearly identical big Mpvs resulting from Sevel, a joint-venture of PSA and Fiat, and produced at Sevel Nord factory in France, near Valenciennes. The first eurovans were sold as Citroen Evasion (synergie), Fiat Ulysse, Lancia Zeta and Peugeot 806. The present, second generation, saw the renaming of all but the Fiat Ulysse to Citroen C8, Lancia Phedra and Peugeot 807 respectively.

The eurovans differ little technically and visually, being a prime example of badge engineering. The eurovans share mechanicals and body structure with Sevel light commercial vans, Citroen Jumpy (dispatch), Fiat Scudo and Peugeot Expert. They are more technically related to PSA than Fiat cars, as PSA governs the Sevel Nord part of the joint-venture.

The first-generation eurovans were superseded by a new model in 2002. The floorpan, wheelbase and suspension setup were not altered, but all look dimensions as well as front and back tracks were increased. In particular, the increase in length by almost 30 cm greatly improved dashboard capacity. The new eurovans were afforded a much more bubbly, contemporary exterior, along with a modern-looking dash with centrally mounted gauges. The differences are now more pronounced, encompassing entire front fascias and back sections (including head- and taillights), as well as various dashboard color themes. The Fiat and the Lancia are slightly wider than PSA vans, and the Phedra is also longer than other eurovans.
