Meet the award-winning and UK’s best-selling electric van – the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric. In 2023, Vauxhall was named the top electric LCV manufacturer, with a quarter of all electric vans sold that year being Vauxhall.
Enjoy an impressive range of up to 205 miles (WLTP) with the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric van. Two battery options are available – 50kWh and 75kWh. The 50kWh offers a range of up to 143 miles (WLTP), with the latter offering up to 205 miles (WLTP).
With a choice of a 50kWh battery or 75kWh battery, you can tailor the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric van to your needs. Whichever one you choose, you can be confident that it won’t affect the cabin area thanks to its low, flat design. This also creates a stable centre of gravity to improve performance.
On the road, you can also tailor your drive with three different drive modes. This puts you in control of efficiency, range, and handling. For heavy loads, select POWER to maximise performance. Whereas ECO is great for maximising efficiency and your range. Lastly, NORMAL strikes the optimum balance between performance and efficiency.
Create an office on the road with the interior of the Vauxhall Vivaro Electric van. Ergonomically designed seats provide support and comfort for you and any passengers. While a fold down table and practical storage space makes it easier to work wherever you are.
On selected trims, there’s a full steel bulkhead helping to separate the load and cabin area for extra safety. You can also customise the space with optional flex cargo. This can be tailored to your needs by creating extra seats for passengers. Alternatively, you can use the load-through bulkhead to carry longer items. There’s also the option to create extra space in the footwell with the foldable outer seat.
The Vauxhall Vivaro Electric van is available in two lengths – L1 and L2. We’ve broken down the dimensions for each length below.
The maximum payload will vary based on the battery size you choose. The 50kWh battery has a payload of up to 1,226kg. Whereas the 75kWh battery offers slightly less at 1,002 kg.
