Vauxhall Movano launched at tempting lower price
publication date: Feb 24, 2010
| To celebrate the launch of Movano, Vauxhall is giving
away £1,400 worth of options, to include air conditioning, a
multi-function trip computer, vehicle alarm and Bluetooth connectivity.
Known as the Launch Pack, it will be offered on new Movanos until July 31 this year. In addition, Vauxhall is also introducing a new Expression model, priced at £20,250 excluding VAT, bringing the entry level cost of Movano ownership down by £1,410 below the price of the L2H2 3300 panel van. While the Expression is the only Movano model not to benefit from the Launch Pack, it still gets a generous helping of standard kit, such as electric windows/mirrors and a full bulkhead. But this value-for-money theme continues throughout the range. |  | |
| Whether
it’s the front-wheel drive 3300, 2.3 CDTi Expression panel van with
100PS on tap, or one of the many rear-wheel drive, long wheelbase
Movano derivatives with engine outputs up to 146PS, all feature a
height adjustable driver’s seat, aux-in connection, adjustable steering
column, all-round disc brakes with ABS and a brake-pad wear indicator. Three wheelbases from 3.18 to 4.33 metres can be specified, and four exterior lengths from 5.05 to 6.85 metres, allowing on-floor cargo load lengths from 2.58 to 4.38 metres. There are also three interior roof heights from 1.7 to 2.14 metres, while load volume ranges from 8.0 to 17 cubic metres. Complementing this versatility are payloads which have now increased to 2.5 tonnes on the twin-wheel platform. Gross vehicle weights range from 2.8 to 4.5 tonnes. The other major benefit for customers is that the maximum towing weight for the Movano range has now increased to 3 tonnes, thanks to the option of rear-wheel drive/twin rear wheels, while front-wheel drive, single wheel versions can tow up to 2.5 tonnes. Compared with previous Movanos, the new vehicle achieves cost savings of up to 24 per cent over four years and 150,000kms (approx. 93,000 miles). | ||
