Well its a long time coming and in my opinion well deserved but a rejuvenated Vauxhall is grabbing more international awards. The soon to be launched Vauxhall Combo van has just been awarded the International Van of the Year award for 2019.
Picking up 127 points (pallets ahead of the Mercedes Sprinter) the Combo was praised for its innovative and class leading use of technology and driver safety assistance features. Models range from a 4.4m standard model through to a longer 4.75 metre van.
Developed in collaboration with PSA the all new Vauxhall Combo is, in my opinion, a good looking van – particularly those haunched wheel arches. Its great news for Vauxhall Opel coming at the right time too when the group has gone back into profit.
Well done to VAUXHALL
