Iveco Daily Long Wheelbase — Which to Choose
The wheelbase of the Iveco Daily is the distance between the front and rear axles. It determines the length of the load area (panel van) or the load bed (chassis cab). The Daily is available in 5 different wheelbases, from the shortest (3.000 mm) to the longest (4.350 mm).
Choosing the right wheelbase depends on what you carry, where you operate and what payload you need.

Daily Long Wheelbase (4.350 mm) — Details
The long wheelbase Daily is the version with the largest load area in the light commercial vehicle category:
- Overall length: 7.470 mm
- Load area length: 4.680 mm — fits 4 Euro pallets in a row
- Maximum volume: 17,7 m³ with H3 high roof
- Payload: approx. 1.200-1.400 kg (35-quintal version)
- Turning circle: approx. 7,8 m — manageable in town
Note: the long wheelbase has a lower payload because the vehicle itself weighs more. If you need more payload, the 3.450 wheelbase with a higher GVW (50C or 70C) is the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the long wheelbase Daily?
The Daily with a 4.350 mm wheelbase is 7.470 mm long overall. The internal load area measures 4.680 mm. With the H3 high roof the volume is 17,7 m³ — the largest in its class.
What driving licence do you need for the long-wheelbase Daily?
If it is the 35-quintal version (3.500 kg GVW): category B licence. The wheelbase does not affect the licence required — only the vehicle's gross vehicle weight counts.
Does the long wheelbase use more fuel?
Marginally, yes: around 0,5-1 litre more per 100 km compared with the short wheelbase, due to the extra weight and greater aerodynamic drag. The difference is negligible if the vehicle works fully loaded.
