2019 Vauxhall / Opel Combo van revealed

In February, Vauxhall and Opel unveiled their all-new Combo Life ‘leisure activity vehicle’. Now the cargo-carrying version has made its début.

The Combo panel van (which is virtually identical to the latest Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner) will be offered with a choice of two wheelbases. In short guise, overall length is 4.40 m (14’ 5”), load-space length is 3.09 m (10’ 1”) and maximum freight volume is 3.8 m3 (134.1 cu. ft.).

Alternatively, the equivalent figures for the long Combo are 4.75 m (15’ 7”), 3.44 m (11’ 3”) and 4.4 m3 (155.3 cu. ft.). Both models can transport a payload of up to 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs), plus there’s sufficient distance between the rear wheel arches to accommodate a Euro pallet.

For extra flexibility, a crew van variant provides seating for five. When required, the rear bench folds down and the partition that separates people and goods slides forward.

Numerous driver aids are going to be available. They include Automatic Cruise Control, Intelligent Speed Adaptation, Lane Keep Assist, an ‘always on’ rear camera system and an over-weight indicator.

Prices (and engine options) for the fourth-generation Combo van haven’t been announced yet. Deliveries are scheduled to begin during December 2018.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
