The Combo came second
in the competition for International Van of the Year 2002,
one place behind Opel’s Vivaro
transporter. A total of ten representatives of the commercial vehicle
sector in the gross weight category up to 3.5 tonnes were judged
by a specialist jury of journalists from 20 European countries.
The 87 hp 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a maximum
torque of 138 Nm accelerates the vehicle from a standstill to 100
km/h in 14.0 seconds.
The city delivery van’s safety is enhanced by its rigid body
structure: thanks to extensive galvanizing, Opel grants a 12-year
anti-perforation warranty. There is also a comprehensive
package of safety systems and protection devices, including
a full-size driver’s airbag, seat belt tensioners, belt force
limiters and Opel’s patented Pedal Release system.
