Full of character, a real space wonder and a true friend that not only
families will love. The new Opel Combo Life offers a feel-good
atmosphere with an unrivalled number of ultra-modern technologies for
this segment. Even for an attractive entry-level price of €19,995 the
all-rounder has driver assistance systems such as Forward collision alert with pedestrian detection and Automatic Emergency Braking[1],
Lane Keep Assist, Hill Start Assist, Intelligent Speed Adaptation and
Speed Limiter along with Driver Drowsiness Alerts and Speed Sign
recognition. Elsewhere, features such as the comfort driver and
front passenger seats or tinted heat-absorbing glazing increase the
well-being of the occupants of the entry-level version.
 |
| Flexible, stylish, environmentally friendly: New Opel Combo Life is powered by Euro 6d-TEMP engines. |
For prices starting at €23,450 the Opel Combo Life is available in the
Edition trim. This then includes further equipment features such as the
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible Multimedia Radio with eight-inch colour touchscreen, air-conditioning and heated steering wheel as standard.

Typically Opel: Centre console of the new Combo Life is clearly influenced by the brand’s German DNA. |
“The new Opel Combo Life, which is available to order now, is perfect
for any situation. A real everyday hero,” said Peter Küspert, Managing
Director Sales and Marketing Opel Automobile GmbH. “Our newcomer
impresses with maximum flexibility, a high level of comfort,
ultra-modern driver assistance and infotainment systems along with
numerous clever solutions. And all this is available for an entry-level
price below €20,000. We are once again democratising innovations with
the new Combo Life.”
The portfolio of lively and frugal petrol and diesel engines (Fuel consumption[2]: urban 6.7-4.5 l/100 km, extra-urban 5.1-3.8 l/100 km, combined 5.7-4.1 l/100 km, 130-108 g/km CO2)
deliver the matching driving performance. They already meet the
stringent Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard that comes into force for all
new registrations in September 2019. The units will be combined with
modern five and six-speed manual transmission. In addition, a segment
first, especially low-friction eight-speed automatic with Quickshift
technology will also be available. It can be ordered in combination with
the 1.5-litre, 96 kW/130 hp top-of-the-range diesel that delivers
maximum torque of 300 Nm (Fuel consumption2: urban 4.8-4.6 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.3-4.1 l/100 km, combined 4.5-4.3 l/100 km, 118-113 g/km CO2).
Elsewhere, the new Opel Combo Life raises the bar with regards to
safety and comfort. It is fitted with technologies and driver assistance
systems well-known from the compact or SUV segment such as, Rear View Camera with 180° bird’s-eye view, Head up display and IntelliGrip
electronic traction control that ensure outstanding traction and stable
handling no matter whether the Combo Life is driving on mud, sand, wet
roads or snow. One of the newcomers to the Opel portfolio of assistance
systems is Flank Guard[3]. It supports drivers
when turning at low speeds. And on top of that the new Opel Combo Life
is also pleasant on the eye thanks to bold proportions giving a strong
and robust appearance.
Comfortable, flexible, practical – and extremely clever
Apart from the unusual amount of technologies and assistance systems
for a car in this segment, the Opel Combo Life will also delight
families and traders with a lot of space and maximum flexibility while
also maintaining a high level of comfort. Both the standard and the
longer version of the 1.8-metre high van are available with either five
or seven seats. The five-seat, standard length version has a minimum
luggage volume of 597 litres[4]. People requiring even more space can obviously also opt for the long wheelbase with a minimum luggage volume of 850 litres3.
The newcomer also displays true transporter qualities with the seats
folded down. The luggage volume of the standard version more than
triples to 2,126 litres[5] while the long version can carry up to 2,693 litres5.
 |
All aboard: With up to 2,693 litres of versatile storage space, new Opel Combo Life can accommodate a huge variety of passengers, creatures and objects. |
Furthermore, the developers have also thought about how to transport
long items. Therefore, the front passenger seat folds flush with the
rear seats, extending the length of the loading area so that even
surfboards can be transported. The designers also ensured that the
annoying gap sometimes left between luggage and tailgate can be utilised
thanks to the optional opening window integrated in the tailgate
(standard on Opel Combo Life INNOVATION). Those in need of even more space
and even more storage possibilities or those who want to tow a trailer
(trailer load up to 1,500 kg) can obviously also attach a trailer via
the optional fixed or removable towing hook.
The second row seating setup of both variants also caters for
individual preferences. Customers will be able to choose between the
standard second row bench with 60/40 split or alternatively three
individual seats, which can be folded conveniently from the boot[6]. In both cases, each seating position has its own Isofix child seat bracket as standard allowing for three child seats to be fitted next to each other.
Furthermore, each seat has a top tether anchor point designed to lessen
forward movement of the forward facing child seat in the event of a
frontal collision and thus reduce the risk of injury. Meanwhile, easy
access to the passenger compartment is guaranteed by the large sliding
doors.
The panoramic roof (standard for Opel Combo Life Innovation)
permits passenger to savour starry nights or lap up the warm rays of the
sun. When the sun is too strong for the occupants’ liking, an electric
sunblind, activated though a switch in the overhead console, can be
closed, providing total protection. When open, the panoramic roof also
improves the feeling of space even further while simultaneously creating
a pleasant and light ambience. When ordered with the panoramic roof,
the Opel Combo Life comes with overhead storage running down the centre of
the vehicle with LED lighting as standard. Furthermore, in this
configuration the newcomer is also fitted with a large 36-litre storage
box mounted above the hat tray in the boot. This enables for some of the
space normally not utilised when not packing up to the roof is used
sensibly – without impeding the view of following traffic through the
rear view mirror. The driver and front seat passenger can find further
useful storage possibilities in the central console, the door pockets
and an upper and lower glove box.
 |
Fit for fun: Unusually for a car in this class, New Opel Combo Life can accommodate three children in their safety seats in the second row. |
 |
Sky’s the limit: Occupants of the new Opel Combo Life will get stars in their eyes with the optional panoramic roof, which also features a shelf illuminated by LED lighting in the ceiling. |
Last, but not least the numerous connectivity possibilities ensure
outstanding entertainment. Opel Combo Life offers Opel-typical modern
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible infotainment systems
with up to eight-inch capacitive colour touchscreen along with USB ports
in the front and second to charge tablets and smartphones. A 230V power
socket in the front footwell even allows one passenger to plug in a
laptop. Furthermore, compatible smartphones can also be charged
wirelessly via the inductive charging pad.

From 0 to 30 km/h the deceleration metric to reduce the impact speed of
the collision is 0.9 g. From 30 to 85 km/h the system brakes to the
speed by a maximum of 22 km/h. After this threshold, the driver needs to
brake himself to reduce the speed even further.
