Vauxhall’s all-new Combo Life model will arrive in showrooms in September priced from £20,530. It is aimed at active families and empty nesters and comes in two trims, Design and Energy, with the latter available as either a five or seven-seater.

Customers can choose between two wheelbases – standard and XL – along with petrol and diesel powertrains with either manual or automatic transmission.

Priced at £20,530, the entry-level Design 1.2-litre (110PS) Turbo Start/Stop 6-speed manual model features air conditioning, DAB Radio with USB and Bluetooth audio streaming and 16-inch steel wheels with styled wheel covers.

Moving up the range, the Energy trim starts from £21,970 for the five-seater 1.2-litre (110PS) Turbo Start/Stop 6-speed manual model. A high level of standard specification includes eight-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system, 16-inch alloy wheels and front and rear parking sensors.

If you need space for more passengers, the Energy seven-seater starts from £22,530 for the 1.2-litre (110PS) Turbo Start/Stop 6-speed manual model. Kit includes 35/30/35 split-folding second-row seats with fold-flat facility, two removable third-row seats and two foldable tables with cup-holders.

Combo Life customers can choose between a variety of turbo-charged, direct injection petrol and diesel engines, all of which combine driving pleasure with low CO₂ emissions from 111g/km and fuel economy up to 67.3mpg.

All powertrains meet the stringent Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard that come into force for all new registrations from September 2019. The units will be combined with modern five and six-speed manual gearboxes. In addition, in a segment first, a low-friction eight-speed automatic with Quickshift technology can be ordered in combination with the top-of-the-range 1.5-litre (130PS) diesel.

The latest addition to the Vauxhall range makes longer trips more comfortable and enjoyable for the whole family, thanks to three individual rear seats, all with ISOFIX child seat brackets, and the optional panoramic glass roof.

The Combo Life is fitted with technologies and driver assistance systems that are more commonly seen in the compact or SUV segments, such as Driver Drowsiness Alert, Rear View Camera with 180-degree bird’s-eye view, Head-up display, and IntelliGrip, as well as improved comfort features such as heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
