Opel Combo-e Life. Combination with electric drive

Opel launches new battery-powered Combo-e Life! The all-electric combo from the German manufacturer will be offered with one or two sliding side doors, standard or XL, 4,4 or 4,75 meters long respectively, with five or seven seats. The new Combo-e Life will go on sale this fall.

Opel Combo-e Life. Drive

With 100 kW (136 hp) electric drive and 260 Nm of torque, the Combo-e Life is also suitable for longer and faster journeys. Depending on the model, the combivan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11,2 seconds, and the top speed of 130 km/h (electronically limited) allows free movement on motorways. An advanced Brake Energy Regeneration system with two user-selectable modes further enhances vehicle efficiency.

The battery, containing 216 cells in 18 modules, is located under the floor between the front and rear axles, without limiting the functionality of the cabin. This battery arrangement also lowers the center of gravity, improving stability in high winds and cornering for greater driving pleasure.

The Combo-e traction battery can be charged in a number of ways, depending on the infrastructure available, from a wall charger, at a fast charging station, and even from household power. It takes less than 50 minutes to charge a 80kWh battery to 100 percent at a 30kW public DC charging station. Depending on the market and infrastructure, the Opel Combo-e is equipped as standard with an efficient 11kW three-phase on-board charger or a 7,4kW single-phase charger.

Opel Combo-e Life. Equipment

The vehicle is equipped with Hill Descent Control, Lane Keeping Assist with Driver Fatigue Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, Pre-Collision Alarm with Pedestrian Protection and Automatic Emergency Braking.

When parking, the panoramic rear view camera is especially useful, as it improves visibility to the rear and sides. Riders looking for better grip on muddy, sandy or snowy surfaces can order the Combo-e Life with IntelliGrip electronic traction control.

Opel offers the Combo-e Life in two body lengths (4,40 m or 4,75 m in the XL version) with a five- or seven-seat cab that taxi drivers might like. The luggage compartment of the shortened five-seat version has a volume of at least 597 liters (850 liters for the longer version). With the rear seats folded down, the versatile everyday hero turns into a small "truck". The trunk capacity in the short version more than triples to 2126 2693 liters, and in the long version it goes up to XNUMX liters. In addition, the optional folding passenger seat can form one plane with the rear seats folded down - then even a surfboard will fit inside.

Opel Combo-e Life. Panoramic roof with electric sun visor and in-ceiling storage

Luggage is securely tucked away and the optional panoramic sunroof lets you stargaze or enjoy the sunshine. However, if the sun is too bright, all you have to do is press a button on the center console to close the power roller shutter window. The panoramic sunroof gives the impression of more space inside the car, and also illuminates the interior, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The Panoramic Glass Roof Opel Combo-e Life has an upper glove box with standard LED lighting running through the center of the car. In this configuration, the new Opel model also has a large 36-litre storage compartment above the rear shelf in the luggage compartment.

In both model variants, customers can choose between a standard 60/40 split rear seat or three single seats that can be conveniently folded out of the trunk. In both cases, each seat is equipped as standard with individual Isofix anchorages, allowing three child seats to be installed side by side.

When everyone is comfortably seated, they will be able to use the on-board multimedia. Multimedia and Multimedia Navi Pro systems feature large 8-inch touch screens and efficient connectivity modules. Both systems can be integrated into your phone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
