The load bay is larger thanks to an additional 100mm in length. Maximum payload is up to 1980kg in L1 versions
Apart from the panel van there’s also Combi, Double Cab and Platform Cab body styles straight from the Luton factory where new Vivaro is built.
There’s also a brand new range of engines designed to provide you with better pulling power and lower running costs.
There are two engines: a turbo diesel and a biturbo diesel both in different states of tune:
The new Vivaro is best in class for economy
- 1.6 CDTi 90PS
- 1.6 CDTi 115PS
- 1.6 BiTurbo CDTi 120PS
- 1.6 BiTurbo CDTi 140PS
The new 1.6 BiTurbo CDTi features sequential turbocharging and a twin-cooler system. Which is great for tech heads. But what you probably want to know is – how much will it save me?
A fair amount. While you would have thought the BiTurbo to be the least economical, that’s not the case – Vauxhall says there’s up to 49.5mpg. And there’s more economy if you use the ‘eco’ driving mode button. Vauxhall reckons the new engine makes the new Vivaro the best-in-class for economy.
The new Vivaro also provides plenty of power. From just 1,500rpm, the 120PS BiTurbo generates impressive maximum torque of 320Nm, while the 140PS variant delivers 340Nm.
There’s plenty of drivability too. From just 1,500rpm, the 120PS BiTurbo generates 320Nm torque, while the 140PS variant delivers 340Nm, so there’s plenty of pull for your pound.
