Combi LWB (facelift 2006) Overview:
Vauxhall Vivaro (Combi LWB (facelift 2006)). With 290 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~9.2 l/100km). With a weight of 1954 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 9, it’s perfect for larger families.
Performance Verdict
The 115 Hp 2.0 CDTI engine offers adequate power for daily driving and light to moderate loads, but can feel strained when fully laden or on steep inclines. It's a workhorse rather than a performance engine.

With a combined fuel consumption of 7.7 l/100 km, this engine provides decent economy for a large LWB minivan of its era, making it reasonably cost-effective for longer journeys.
