Vauxhall Combo can pack crew and cargo

Access to the load area is easy – the assymetrical rear doors open to 180 degrees with a load floor height of 545mm

 

What’s hot?

  • Easy-to-operate seats with ‘fold-and-tumble’ facility and 60/40 split seat back and cushion offers versatile use of space
  • Very well speced, including anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD),  remote control central deadlocking, and electronic engine deadlock immobiliser

 

What’s not

  • We still have reservations about the styling: it’s not going to appeal to everyone
  • Aircon is a £590 optional extra which you’ll need if you regularly use the rear seats
  • Even with rear seats folded, the load length is reduced over the panel van variant – but only by 420mm

 

Business Vans verdict

If you’re looking for the flexibility a five-seat crew van offer, then there’s nothing to touch the Vauxhall Combo in this sector. Some will find the styling less than appealing, but that’s clearly outweighed by the Combo’s sheer practical versatility.
