Vauxhall Astra dimensions (1998-2006)

In a world of swings and roundabouts, where the Astra van gains over its Combo brother in terms of drivability, it loses out in load volume and payload. The Combo has a big square load area that will swallow large items, whereas the Astra van’s is shorter in length and height.

Also worthy of mention are the Astravan’s standard half-height bulkhead and half-height sidewall panelling on later models.
