Combo panel van range unveiled by Vauxhall18 October 2011

Vauxhall's all-new Combo panel van is set to become a firm favourite of owner-drivers and large fleets alike, with its combination of technology and class-leading features, according to the Luton-based manufacturer.

Available in two wheelbases, two heights, two gvws (2,000kg and 2,300kg), Combo boasts what is believed to be the highest payload (up to 1,000kg, with driver), large load volume (up to 4.2m3), highest rear axle capacity (1,450kg) and longest wheelbase in its sector.

The new Combo has also been designed from the ground up as a commercial vehicle, and the exterior style reflects that. Two lengths (4.39m and 4.74m) combined with two heights (1.85m and 2.10m) offer exceptional loading flexibility.

With the L1 the load volume is 3,400 litres, whereas the L2 packs in 4,200 litres, with load lengths of 1.82m and 2.17m respectively, and a load width of 1.71m. New Combo also offers a choice of two payloads: 750kg and 1,000kg.

The new Combo is available with four diesel engines: a 1.3 CDTi and a 1.6-litre CDTi, each with 90PS, as well as a 1.6-litre CDTi variant with 105PS and a 2-litre CDTi generating 135PS. The 1.3-litre CDTi engines are fitted with five-speed manual transmissions, while the CDTi units have a six-speed manual.

The 1.6-litre CDTi is also offered with Vauxhall's Tecshift automated five-speed manual transmission. With the exception of the Tecshift units, all powertrains are also available with Start/Stop to deliver even lower fuel consumption and emissions.
