and 2,300kg) two trim levels and with four engine choices, Combo
boasts 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. |

New standards in commercial
vehicle exterior design
New Combo’s steeply raked deep windscreen, together with the low bonnet
line, gives the driver exceptional visibility. Generous panoramic
exterior mirrors with integrated indicator repeaters provide outstanding
rearward vision. The clear glass wrap-around headlight clusters are
functional and efficient, the rear light clusters are high mounted to
avoid incidental damage, and the optional front fog lights are
protectively recessed. |
Exceptional loading
possibilities
New Combo has been designed as a
commercial vehicle without compromise and the overall exterior style
reflects its rugged and practical nature.
Two lengths (4.39m and 4.74m) combined
with two heights (1.85m and 2.10m) offer exceptional loading
possibilities. With the L1 the load volume is 3,400 litres whereas the
L2 packs in 4,200 litres with load lengths of 1.82m (L1) and 2.17m (L2)
and the load width of 1.71m. New Combo offers a choice of two payloads:
750kg and 1,000kg.
Conveniently low loading height
(54.5cm) combined with wide opening sliding side doors enable easier
loading and convenient access to cargo. An optional upward opening flap
built into the rear of the roof of new Combo L1H1 models enable the
secure transport of longer loads such as ladders and pipes.
Economical and powerful engines
The new Combo is available with four
diesel engines. The units include a 1.3 CDTi and a 1.6 CDTi, each with
90PS, as well as a 1.6 CDTi variant with 105PS and a powerful 2.0 CDTi
engine providing 135PS. The 1.3 CDTi engines are fitted with five-speed
manual transmissions, while the more powerful CDTi units have a
six-speed manual transmission. The 1.6 CDTi is also offered with
Vauxhall’s ’Tecshift’ automated five-speed manual transmission. With
the exception of the Tecshift units, all powertrains are available with
Start/Stop functionality to deliver even lower fuel consumption and
emissions.
Interior design features
Driver comfort and convenience are
prioritised in new Combo. The stylish dashboard is functional and
uncluttered, the steering wheel is adjustable for rake and reach and all
of the controls are intuitive and within easy grasp. There are deeply
contoured front seats, and generous heating and ventilation outlets.
Attention has been given to building an environment that is ergonomic,
robust and hard-wearing.
In terms of convenience and storage new
Combo leads the field with spacious door pockets, dashboard storage and
a lockable glove box that can hold a laptop. The Sportive also features
an overhead storage shelf in the cabin for additional storage capacity.
Standard seat trim is cube black cloth with vinyl black available as a
free-of-charge option.
Two trim levels with a Combo
Sportive available for the first time
Standard equipment has been much
improved over the outgoing model with a raft of equipment including
remote central door locking with deadlocks, full-steel bulkhead, trip
computer, electric power steering, driver’s airbag, ABS with EBD,
CD/radio and a 12 volt power outlet in the dashboard.
New Combo introduces a Sportive trim
level for the first time. These models combine added driver comfort with
a uniquely sporty style that is consistent with other Sportive models on
Corsavan, Astravan and Vivaro. Sportive will have these additional
features over the standard model including air conditioning, metallic
paint, body-colour bumpers and door mirrors, nearside sliding door,
driver seat with height adjustment, armrest and lumbar support and full
wheel covers.
A variety of options to ease
the working day
New Combo offers a wide breadth of
options and option packs enabling customers to tailor and personalise to
best suit their business needs. Free flow options include cruise
control, rear parking distance sensors, automatic climate control and
ESP with hill holder.
Front passenger’s airbag and/or
side-impact airbags, glazed rear doors or tailgate, longitudinal roof
bars and winter tyres are also available.
A choice of three option packs are also
available. Load compartment pack includes overhead storage shelf in the
cabin, PVC lining for the loading compartment floor, rear auxiliary
power outlet and a removable courtesy light. Winter pack consists of
headlamp wash, fog lights, external temperature sensor and electric
adjustable door mirrors. Driver pack includes CD50 multimedia reader
