Petrol Vauxhall Combo

Ever since the new Combo van was launched last year, the Opel version has had the option of a 1.4 litre petrol engine, but Vauxhall customers have been restricted to diesel power only.

Available with the L1H1 and L2H1 bodies, the Euro 5-compliant petrol unit develops 93 bhp (70 kW / 95 PS) and it features a stop-start system as standard. CO2 emissions are 163 g/km, and the short wheelbase model achieves 40.3 mpg (7.0 l/100km) on the combined cycle.

Prices have yet to be announced.
