2022 VAUXHALL COMBO

With the outgoing version of the Combo being so well received; it’s no surprise that this generation carries on all of the good attributes, while adding some much needed modern touches. In terms of styling, it looks much better this time around; the shape has changed slightly giving off a more van-like appearance. You could be forgiven for mistaking it for the Fiat Doblo except for the all-new front grille that can be seen on all new Opel cars and vans. The cabin is really nicely designed too; everything feels well-built and is easy to use. There’s ample room for the driver and passengers, and some pretty clever storage cubbies. The big selling point for this van is obviously the cargo capacity. It’s available in a few different shapes and sizes so the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) can vary between 2020kg and 2370kg, whereas the maximum cargo can be between 750kg and 1000kg. There’s a good range of engines available that give out enough power to make driving the van an enjoyable experience either in the city or on the motorway, along with a superior suspension system and a tight turning circle.

•  An alarm does not come as standard, only as an extra option

•  It’s a much better looking van than the last model

•  Van-like practicality with car-like handling

•  Cheap to run compared to others in class

•  There’s a good range of efficient and economical engines available

•  ESC doesn’t come as standard which is disappointing
