Fuso Canter evolves

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

Fuso has released an improved Canter line-up in response to customer feedback.

A range of new features has been added to improve driver experience, as well as upgraded seats and interior trim.

The proven mechanical specification of the Canter range remains, although the Duonic automated manual transmission version now features a hill holder function to assist drivers, along with standard cruise control.

Exterior styling stays unchanged except for a silver painted top grille louvre that gives the upgraded model a subtle lift.

Cabin changes are more obvious, with the blue dashboard and seat trim replaced with a darker theme.

The dashboard and door panels are now a mix of black and grey, while silver-painted highlights have been added to the gearshift lever surround (on Duonic models) and a steering wheel mounted badge.

The seat trim has also changed from blue to black. New hard-wearing vinyl side bolstering has been introduced to eliminate the chance of fabric fraying from drivers getting in or out, or seatbelt abrasion.

Seats have additional padding.

Other interior improvements include a ceiling-mounted LED room lamp, a sun visor pocket and new floor mounted bottle tray. Fuso has reintroduced a clever storage compartment integrated into the middle seatback. The driver can access the hidden compartment by releasing a catch and folding down the padded front section.

The Canter facelift comes soon after Fuso introduced a class-leading five-year/200,000km/4000 hour warranty on Canter models, and a complimentary first service and safety check.

Fuso has also moved to reduce the cost of spare parts.
The revised Canter is now available through Fuso’s national network of 37 sales dealerships.
