The Vauxhall Combo has enjoyed leading-light status as one of the best small electric vans, although it has to share the stage with its close siblings the Citroen e-Berlingo, Fiat E-Doblo, Peugeot e-Partner and Toyota Proace City Electric. The rest of the market is starting to catch up, though, and...
The Vauxhall Movano has finally been brought up to a standard that enables it to compete with its contemporaries, even if it doesn’t quite have enough to be classified as one of the best large vans you can buy. It underwent a major change in 2021, but it took until 2024’s update for it to be...
This 2023 Vauxhall Vivaro review covers the latest version, launched in 2019. It joined the medium van market as one of the most capable models in its sector, with huge payload capacity, lots of technology and low-roof design optimised for city driving. In 2020 Vauxhall also launched an electric...
The Vauxhall Vivaro Electric van, though it speaks quietly – and in more ways than one – is a gamechanger for electric vans. One of five medium-sized electric vans from the Stellantis group, the Vivaro Electric promises over 200 miles of driving range, yet also manages to deliver payload that’s...
This Vauxhall Combo Cargo is the joint winner of the Parkers Small Van of the Year award in 2021 and 2020. This detailed and in-depth 2023 Vauxhall Combo Cargo review explains why we rate it so highly while exploring the pros and cons of this van and rival models. Introduced in late 2018, this...
The Vauxhall Movano is a large van that first went on sale in this 'Movano B' guise in 2010. It got a major refresh and facelift in 2019, and remains one of the best big vans to choose if you need plenty of payload. However, it's set to be replaced by an all-new Movano in summer 2021, and this new...
Flying the Union Flag was an important part of the brand message when this second-generation Vauxhall Vivaro medium van arrived in 2014. Why? Well, up to 40% of the Vivaro’s components are sourced from Britain, many within 100 miles of the Luton factory. Over the expected lifecycle of the van, it’s...
The Vauxhall Corsavan has been a mainstay in the Vauxhall LCV line-up for 20 years, and is the second longest-serving Vauxhall van behind the Vauxhall Combo. Now into its fourth generation, the Vauxhall Corsavan is available in just one load variant (0.92 cubic metres), two trim levels (base and...
The previous generation Vauxhall Combo was an extremely popular van that sold to private customers and fleets in their thousands. With such pedigree the new Combo needed to be an impressive product, and so Vauxhall had a challenge on its hands. Teaming up with Fiat to effectively rebadge the Doblo...
Car-derived vans are a fun breed. They are small, easy to park and return good average fuel economy. Based on the regular Corsa car, the Corsavan is nimble and easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, making it ideal for small businesses working in and around small towns and city centres. If you only...
The Astra van is an Astra estate car minus rear seats and windows, albeit with extensively re-engineering to cope with commercial work. Load capacity is improved over the previous model, but the Astra van's primary virtues are its good looks, car-like cabin and excellent road manners. The Astra is...
The Vauxhall Corsavan is one of the range of car-based small commercial vehicles on offer including the Ford Fiestavan, Peugeot 206 van and Renault Cliovan which are beloved of couriers. The Corsavan has been offered with a variety of engines since 2001, including 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre petrol and...
The Vivaro slots in just below the Movano in the Vauxhall van line-up and is the firm's answer to the shorter and lower versions of the Ford Transit. Like Transit, the most popular version is a panel van - available in short or long wheelbase forms. But other bodystyles are on offer including a...
The original Vauxhall Combo appeared back in 1997 and was based on the Vauxhall Corsa platform. It lagged far behind its rivals the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Renault Kangoo, however, which were all designed from the word go as vans rather than cars. So in 2001, the purpose-built design...
Vauxhall burst back on to the 3.5-tonne van sector in 1998 with the Movano, after an absence in this market of some years. The Movano was a re-badged Renault Master and shared both its platform and engines – and it is none the worse for that, as the Renault boasted a fine set of diesel...
The Vauxhall Astra van is essentially a van for people who need a commercial vehicle but don’t really want to drive one. It is exactly what it says on the tin – a Vauxhall Astra estate that has had the rear seats removed and the side windows blanked out to make a cargo area. The Astravan was based...
Like the standard Vauxhall Combo Cargo, the Combo Electric van comes in two body sizes. From 2024 these are just known as 'Combo' and 'XL'. Below are the full exterior and load space dimensions for both versions. Because the batteries are all tucked away under the floor, the loading bay remains the...
