Vauxhall Morvano LCV Commercial Panel Vans...

Vauxhall's Movano really came of age following an impressive round of revisions at the end of 2003. Anti-lock brakes were standardised, there was a new family-look front-end and the gear change was moved to the facia in the all-new cab.

There are now three 2.5-litre common rail diesels to choose from, starting with a 100 bhp version. The other two are rated at 120 bhp and 150 bhp. All these powerplants are refined with a good spread of torque and all three drive the front wheels through a six-speed gearbox.

The all-round disc brakes (ventilated at the front) work very well and there's the added benefit of ABS for when the road conditions deteriorate. The braking system includes Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) which optimises distribution of the braking effort to all four wheels to minimise wheels locking up. ESP is available as an option.

With three wheelbases and three roof heights there is no shortage of model choice and load space starts at 8.0m³, rising to 13.9m³ for the LWB, high roof.

Movano is available at three gross vehicle weights - 2.8t, 3.3t and 3.5t - and payloads range from 1,043kg to 1,551kg. The rear loading height is remarkably low at a maximum of 545mm.

The cab is comfortable enough and well laid out with an abundance of storage cubbies. The driving position is excellent and there's good, all-round visibility.
Servicing is 25,000 mile/two year intervals for all engines.

These Vauxhall Movanos (and the Interstar and Master) represented a big step forwards in 2003 and there's doubt that the new engine line-up introduced in 2006 was a welcome move, but the marketplace has moved on considerably.
