First, an accolade… Vauxhall Combo Cargo named ‘International Van of the Year 2019’. The third-generation best-seller was crowned by a panel of 25 journalists and independent magazine editors who specialise in Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs).
While improving its space and practicality, the new Vauxhall van was also recognised for its style, increased comfort, technologies and features worthy of today’s passenger vehicles.
Based on an all-new architecture and available in a selection of variants, including short wheelbase, long wheelbase and crew van, the Combo Cargo can carry a load volume of up to 4.4 cubic metres and a payload of up to a tonne. Longer items up to 3440mm, such as pipes and ladders, can be stored safely and securely, thanks to the rear swing doors and FlexCargo load-through hatch.
In crew van body style, up to five occupants can be accommodated, while the load is safely stowed behind a partition wall. In addition, the rear bench can be folded down and the partition moved to behind the front seats, if required.
For added peace of mind, there is a sensor-based load indicator that warns if the van is overloaded. Once the engine is switched on, a white LED lights up if the weight exceeds 80% of the permitted payload, keeping you and the Combo Cargo safe. If the weight is above the limit, an orange signal with an exclamation mark lights up.
A Vauxhall Combo Cargo lease comes with the new generation of infotainment systems to ensure outstanding on-board connectivity. The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible Multimedia Radio and Multimedia Navi Pro systems can easily be controlled via the eight-inch colour touchscreen. The integrated, top-of-the-range navigation system comes with European maps and 3D navigation. It also shows Traffic Messaging Channel updates, ensuring that time-sensitive drivers can always select the best route and avoid traffic. Elsewhere, the heated front seats and steering wheel offer added comfort when the temperature drops.
The Combo Cargo gets the choice of 1.6-litre and 1.5-litre turbodiesels. The 1.6 can be specified with 75 hp or 100 hp, with the latter providing the best balance between performance and fuel economy. The 130 hp 1.5 adds more power and torque for shifting heavy loads. It's also the only engine to get the optional eight-speed automatic gearbox. A 1.2-litre PureTech petrol is also available.
Regardless of which engine you choose, the Combo Cargo remains an easy and largely stress-free van to drive. The cabin is airy, comfortable and modern, while the light steering and firm suspension provides a supple ride quality.
