Vauxhall has announced pricing and specification for the all-new Movano and the 100% electric Movano-e.
The all-electric Movano-e joins Vauxhall’s best-selling Vivaro-e and the award-winning Combo-e, with fleets and businesses now able to choose the electric van that best meets their needs.
As of 2028, Vauxhall will only offer fully electric cars and vans in the UK. With the introduction of the all-electric Movano-e and Combo-e LCVs, Vauxhall will offer fully electric vans across its range by the end of 2021. Vauxhall is the UK’s best-selling electric Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) manufacturer, with 1,487 all-electric vans sold so far this year.
The large Movano and Movano-e feature the latest safety and driver assistance systems. For the first time, the models feature a rear vision camera system which gives a live feed to the driver, helping them detect pedestrians and other road users. A blind spot monitoring system is also new to the Movano range, while a lane departure warning system is also available.
As the largest vehicle in Vauxhall’s portfolio, the Movano is available in three different lengths and three heights. It comes with a maximum payload up to 2,110kg and a load volume of 17m3 – the equivalent of five Euro pallets.
Paul Willcox, Managing Director, Vauxhall said, “With class-leading practicality and payload, alongside the latest safety features and technology, the All-New Movano and Movano-e are set to make an immediate impact in the large-LCV sector. Vauxhall is leading the electrification of the UK van market and is all about democratising access to electrified vehicles.”
Featuring a 90kW (120PS) and 260Nm electric motor, the Movano-e is available with a 70kWh battery, featuring up to 139 miles respectively under WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) testing, making it perfect for urban environments, such as last-mile deliveries, and the open road. Like Vauxhall’s other fully electric LCV models, Movano-e is exempt from current ultra-low and congestion charge payments. The zero emissions powertrain also allows businesses to save significantly on company van tax, with a 0% Benefit-in-Kind tax rate.
The new Movano is also available with a powerful and efficient diesel engine option. The 2.2-litre unit meets strict Euro 6.3/Euro 6d emissions regulations and is available with a range of power outputs, from 140PS to 165PS, and with torque figures of between 300Nm and 370Nm. All versions of the engines feature a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.
Orders books are open now, with prices starting from £30,755 for diesel models and £61,085 for the all-electric Movano-e. First deliveries are due in late 2021.
