A practical and versatile vehicle aimed at active families and empty nesters, the Vauxhall Combo Life arrives in showrooms in September priced from £19,610 on-the-road.
The Combo Life is full of innovations that make it a great choice for the whole family. The spacious, highly practical and versatile model is equipped with two rear sliding doors and can be ordered as a five- or seven-seater, with each configuration available in either standard or XL wheelbase. This versatility makes the Combo Life perfect for those needing plenty of room for people and luggage, such as a small sports team and its equipment.
The latest addition to the Vauxhall range makes longer trips more comfortable and enjoyable for the whole family, thanks to three ISOFIX child seat brackets on the second-row seats of all models, and the optional panoramic glass roof.
The Combo Life raises the bar for safety and comfort in this segment. It 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° bird’s-eye view, Head-up Display, and IntelliGrip, as well as improved comfort features such as heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
Diesel Engines
Turbocharged and with variable turbine geometry, the diesel engine offering comprises a 1.5-litre Turbo D Start/Stop Blueinjection unit available in two power outputs: 100PS and 130PS. The 100PS version offers maximum power of 100PS at 3500rpm and maximum torque of 250Nm at 1750rpm. The 130PS version offers maximum power of 130PS at 3750rpm and maximum torque of 300Nm at 1750rpm. In standard length body style, the 1.5-litre 100PS engine achieves 67.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 111g/km.
To ensure optimised exhaust gas treatment, the emission control system on the 1.5-litre Turbo D – which consists of an oxidation catalytic converter/NOx absorber, AdBlue injection, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter – is a compact unit located close to the engine. The NOx absorber acts as a cold start catalytic converter and limits nitrogen oxide emissions from the start, before SCR takes over at higher operating temperatures.
The new eight-speed automatic is available with the 1.5-litre Turbo D (130PS) and not only enables smooth shifting, but loses nothing in efficiency versus the manual gearbox.
Petrol Engine
The petrol engine offering comprises an award-winning 1.2-litre (110PS) Turbo Start/Stop direct injection unit. It offers maximum power of 110PS @ 5500rpm and maximum torque of 205Nm at 1750rpm. In both Combo Life and Combo Life XL body style, the 1.2-litre petrol engine achieves 51.4mpg combined and CO2 emissions of 125g/km.
In order to reduce particulate emissions as much as possible, the unit has a gasoline particulate filter located close to the engine. This construction enables optimised oxidation of the particles captured by the filter.
A higher output 1.2 petrol unit, producing 130PS, will be available with the 110PS engine from the first half of 2019.
