Priced from £39,990 (list price exc. VAT) for the Vivaro GS and £52,890 (OTR price exc. VAT after PiVG) for the Vivaro Electric GS, the newcomers sit above the Vivaro Pro and are marked out by exclusive styling elements such as unique body kit and badging, 18-inch alloy wheels with high-load capacity Nankang tyres and a bespoke rear badge.

A piano black spoiler at the rear also gives the Vivaro GS a distinct look, alongside a redesigned rear bumper that complements the other GS features.

Inside, the GS trim comes with hand-crafted eco-leather seats, embossed with the GS logo and finished with bold red stitching and perforated material for ventilation. Vauxhall says the eco-leather material has been engineered for the demands of van environments, offering benefits such as colourfastness, tear resistance and moisture regulation.

Equipment upgrades over the Vivaro Pro include the Comfort Pack, which features dual-zone electronic climate control, keyless entry & start and wireless smartphone charging. Also included is the Winter Pack, which adds a heated leather steering wheel, heated driver’s seat, and thorax side airbags for enhanced driver and passenger safety.

The Vivaro GS also includes equipment from the Pro trim level, including the Multimedia Pro Navi infotainment system with a 10-inch HD touchscreen, integrated sat-nav, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and natural voice recognition.

Practical features include the FlexCargo load-through bulkhead and a fold-flat centre seat backrest, providing a flat work surface.

Safety and convenience highlights include blind-spot detection, front and rear parking sensors, flank guard detection of fixed obstacles, a Visiopark 180-degree rear parking camera, and Eco LED headlights.

The Vivaro GS is available in two body styles, panel van and doublecab, and in two premium colours: Quartz Silver and Mercury Grey.

Customers can choose between diesel and electric powertrains. The Vivaro Electric GS comes with a 75kWh battery and 136h electric motor, providing up to 209 miles of range (WLTP Combined) and with 100kW rapid-charging capability.

The diesel option comes with Vauxhall’s updated 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, available in two states of tune – 145hp with a six-speed manual gearbox, or 180hp with an eight-speed automatic

Production of both models is underway now.
