Introduced in 2018, the fourth generation Opel Combo shares the majority of its parts with the Fiat Doblo, Citroen Berlingo, Opel Partner, and Toyota ProAce City. Stellantis just unveiled a number of facelifted LCVs, and as of right now, each brand is showcasing their models more thoroughly on its own.
First up is Opel, which returns with an upgraded Combo that has additional technology within the cabin and a revamped face. Both diesel and gasoline powerplant options are offered for the LCV.
For the first time in an LCV, the Opel Combo's redesigned front end includes smaller headlights that can be ordered with Intelli-Lux LED Matrix technology.
The outward improvements stop here, and the remaining bodywork is carried over from the version before the facelift. The Opel Combo is offered by Stellantis in the compact van market and comes in both standard and extended body styles.
The new Opel Combo is available with two or three front seats, as well as a five-seater Crew Cab version aimed at professionals who need to transport more people.
The new 10-inch digital instrument cluster behind the revised steering wheel is the focal point of the interior. With support for the newest connection technologies, the digital cockpit is powered by Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms. Dynamic Surround Vision, which features two cameras, and up to eighteen ADAS—including the optional Adaptive Cruise Control—have also improved safety. Along with this is a more compact free-standing 10-inch infotainment touchscreen; however, entry-level models come with a smartphone dock in place of the touchscreen.
The van can accommodate up to 4,400 liters of cargo, depending on the body design. It has a 750 kg towing capacity and a 780 kg payload when it is completely electric.
A 50 kWh battery pack powers the Opel Combo Electric's single electric motor, which generates 134 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque. Even though those specifications are the same as those of its predecessor, the inclusion of a heat pump and modifications to the regenerative braking system have allowed the WLTP range to be raised to 320 km. Additionally, there are models that run on gasoline and diesel, most likely with the 1.5 BlueHDi and 1.2 PureTech powertrains.
The range will also feature petrol and diesel variants, most likely powered by the 1.2 PureTech and 1.5 BlueHDi engines. The petrol will only be available with a manual transmission, while the diesel will also be offered with an automatic transmission.
Before the year is out, the redesigned Opel Combo and Combo Electric will go on sale. Pricing will be disclosed closer to launch.
