A LOAD OFF
YOUR MIND
New Combo is quite simply first class. Not only does it have one of the longest
and most spacious load areas in its class, but it also has the highest rear axle weight
and the largest rear door opening; combined with a useful, low rear loading height.
When it comes to key business tools, you always invest in the best. In both the long
and short term, that makes it a seriously good investment.
A weighty proposition. The benefits don’t end there. New Combo can haul up to a
tonne. Yet it boasts ultra-low fuel consumption figures – most notably on the
ecoFLEX 1.3 turbo diesel engine with Start/Stop technology. It also has the longest
wheelbase in its class, promoting excellent driveability. That’s quite a combination and
one less thing for business operators to worry about.

8
A COMFORTABLE
WORKPLACE
New Combo has all the creature comforts needed to create the ideal working
environment. The facia is clearly laid out, switches easy to reach and controls easy
to operate. And with reach- and rake-adjustable steering and a four-way adjustable
driver’s seat, you can quickly achieve the most comfortable driving position. Better
still, the high-set seating provides an excellent view of the road. Other standard
features include a fully-featured CD player/radio, while a broad choice of options –
including sat nav and Bluetooth® – let you fine-tune your working environment with
the business tools you need. New Combo is also packed with practical stowage
solutions that make light work of organising your cab. Sportive and all high-roof
models feature an overhead storage facility that’s ideal for holding folders,
worksheets and items you need close at hand.

9

A PRACTICAL
PERSPECTIVE
Reduce your overheads and increase your potential for growth. With its high
capacity and low running costs, New Combo really can give your business a
competitive edge. As an all-new vehicle, every opportunity has been taken to totally
rethink the cab environment, as well as the cargo area. At the business end, a range
of custom-fit options allow you to transport all manner of loads, efficiently and safely
– from parcels and pipes to ladders and larger items of equipment. Even with heavy
machinery on board, the handling stays sharp and the ride comfortable. All of which
means that New Combo appeals more than ever to today’s business user.

11
Instant access. New Combo is big on
convenience. Offside and nearside sliding
side-access doors are fitted to all long
wheelbase models; a nearside sliding
side-access door is also standard on
short wheelbase Sportive models.
Together, the doors add even greater
loading versatility to New Combo’s load
carrying potential, while allowing
convenient access to cargo via the side
of the vehicle. This is a particular benefit
where the need arises for access to the
offside of the vehicle. A glazed side door
option is also available.

BUILT BY EXPERTS
FOR EXPERTS
Whatever your trade, there’s a New Combo that gets the job done. Now with
three distinct body styles – offering a choice of long or short wheelbases and high or
standard roof heights – the new range lets you select the configuration that’s the
exact fit for your business, meeting your requirements more closely than any
previous Combo model. And whichever version you choose, our design experts
have ensured that your New Combo will always be fit for purpose – a factor reinforced
by a wide range of options and accessories. So whichever way you look at it, choosing
New Combo is a win-win decision.

LOADED WITH
INNOVATION
At a massive 3.4cu.m for the short
wheelbase, standard roof version, there’s
no mistaking New Combo’s cavernous load
area. The biggest cargo space in its sector
will comfortably swallow everything from
Euro pallets to plant equipment and heavy
machinery. For even bigger items, there’s
a high roof or long wheelbase version:
the latter variant packs in an impressive
4.2cu.m while the maximum load height
of high roof models is over 1.5 metres.
Adding to the vehicle’s appeal are a wide
range of load area options – including a
handy load flap and internal ladder carrier
– which let you exploit New Combo’s
remarkable carrying potential to the full.

Load up. Open the rear doors of the short wheelbase model and you’re looking
at a record holder. Quite simply, it has the biggest payload in its class. It also
boasts one of the longest and most spacious cargo areas plus a low rear loading
height, so there’s less risk of straining your back while working.
1. Full-height bulkhead. A full-height steel bulkhead – with optional glazing 2.
– provides valuable protection against shifting loads, while glazed rear door
options enhance rear visibility.
3. Rear side panel storage. A storage bin located above the rear wheel arch
provides handy stowage for loose items.
4. Load flap. The optional load flap is ideal for accommodating extra long or tall
items. Simply unfasten the latch located underneath the flap and the rear section
opens, up to an angle of 46°. This provides a handy 916mm x 503mm aperture.
5. Ladder carrier. Fit these optional bars in your van and you can fix a foldable
ladder out of sight under the roof where it won’t get in the way of your other gear.

EASY DOES IT
From electric windows and air conditioning through to
sliding side-access doors, the New Combo range is
simply packed with features designed to make the
driver’s job that bit easier. The key words are practicality
and comfort. Options like cruise control, rear parking
distance sensors and Electronic Climate Control further
enhance driver well-being. The result: a mobile working
environment you really won’t mind spending time in.
1. Asymmetrical rear doors. New Combo comes with asymmetrical rear
doors as standard, which can be specified glazed. 2. H1 models can also be
ordered with a glazed tailgate. Both extra cost, the glazing options feature
wiper(s) and heated rear window, and must be ordered in conjunction with the
glazed bulkhead option. The standard offer can be the more practical proposition
when access to the load area through the rear doors is limited (for example,
when operating in tight space). In both instances, the extra-low sill height (just
545mm) makes for ease of loading and unloading.
3. Clean design. New Combo’s facia is clearly and simply laid out, with controls
easy to reach and just as easy to operate. Switchgear is logical and the high-
mounted driver’s seat provides an excellent all-round view of the road.

4. Electronic Climate Control (ECC). Optional on Sportive models in conjunction
with the Winter Pack, the ECC system features individual temperature controls
for the driver and passenger. The Winter Pack itself comprises headlight
washers, front fog lights, exterior temperature sensor and electrically adjustable
door mirrors.
5, 6 and 7. Practical storage features. New Combo is full of practical storage
features to assist with keeping the cabin safe and tidy, such as lockable glovebox
and door pockets. While Sportive and all high-roof models feature a handy
overhead storage shelf which creates valuable additional space for odds and
ends and loose items.
8. Adjustable driver’s seat. New Combo models feature a four-way adjustable
driver’s seat with adjustment fore and aft plus tilt. The six-way adjustable
‘Comfort’ driver’s seat (illustrated right) on Sportive models adds height and
lumbar adjustment plus a handy armrest.

SAFE AND SOUND
Safety in the workplace is a vital concern for any business
and New Combo is no exception. The protection starts
with a sturdy passenger cell made of high-grade steel,
plus an airbag for the driver and ABS with Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution. Key safety options include
driver aids like ESP with Hill Start Assist and rear
parking distance sensors, along with passenger and
side-impact airbags.
An informed driver is a safer driver, so New Combo can
also be specified with an optional CD/MP3 CD player/stereo
radio, along with wireless Bluetooth® connectivity for
ease of communication on the move and provision for a
satellite navigation system to keep you heading in the
right direction.
1. Hill Start Assist. Maintains the brake pressure for a short period after the brake
pedal has been released when pulling away on a gradient of 5% or more; this helps
prevent the vehicle from rolling back. The pressure is released as soon as the driver
presses the accelerator and the car begins to move forward. This ensures improved
hill starting for increased comfort and safety. Optional on all models.
2. Rear parking distance sensors. Optional rear parking distance sensors provide
an audible warning to help prevent accidental damage when parking or reversing.
3. Four airbags. A driver’s airbag is standard on all models with the option to
add a passenger airbag and side-impact airbags for improved protection in the
event of a collision.

4. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls. Allows you to access all the
functions of the optional CD 50 unit without taking your eyes off the road – or your
hands off the wheel. You can adjust speaker volume and the text message read-
out, accept incoming calls or set voice recognition and stereo options.
5. Aux-in socket and USB port. Conveniently situated for optimum ease of
use, the optional aux-in and USB port enable drivers to connect their mobile
devices and so access a range of multimedia files, including MP3, MP4 and WMA.
6. CD 50 with multimedia reader. This optional hands-free system
incorporates Bluetooth® technology, an SMS message reader and a CD/MP3 CD
player/stereo radio. It can access MP3 players and other devices via the aux-in
socket and USB port.
TomTom pre-installation kit. Also part of the Driver Pack, provides the
essential wiring for a TomTom navigation system (navigation system not included).
Driver Pack. Drivers looking to create the ultimate working environment can
specify the optional Driver Pack at extra cost. The pack comprises a CD/MP3 CD
player/stereo radio with Bluetooth® connectivity, aux-in socket, USB port, steering
wheel mounted audio controls, leather-covered steering wheel and gear knob
(manual models only) along with pre-installation for a TomTom navigation system.

POWER AND EFFICIENCY How well a vehicle holds a load is one thing.
How well it shifts that load is another...
When it comes to everyday driving, New Combo’s bi-link independent rear
suspension gives you the best possible ride quality and handling – even when
you’re hauling heavy loads. But New Combo doesn’t only ride and handle like a
dream; it also performs with remarkable verve for what is, to all intents and
purposes, a working vehicle. Drivers can select from four powerful yet efficient
Euro 5 compliant turbo-diesel engines and, for the first time, a new 1.4i 16v (95PS)
Start/Stop petrol unit. All five engines are designed for optimum ease of
serviceability and low running costs.The diesel range comprises 1.3CDTi 16v (90PS),
1.3CDTi 16v (90PS) ecoFLEX Start/Stop, 1.6CDTi 16v (105PS) Start/Stop and 2.0CDTi
16v (135PS) Start/Stop units. There is also a 1.6CDTi 16v (90PS) version complete
with Start/Stop and Tecshift transmission. Start/Stop switches the engine off when
you stop at the lights or in traffic, then restarts it once the clutch is depressed,
cutting fuel bills and reducing emissions. A choice of ecoFLEX models further
underlines Vauxhall’s ‘eco’ credentials, while New Combo drivers can also look
forward to long service intervals (up to 21,000 miles or one year) and excellent fuel
consumption for the 1.3CDTi 16v (90PS) ecoFLEX engine with Start/Stop.
