Since the turn of the century, Vauxhall's Vivaro has been the main challenger to Ford in the mid-sized part of the LCV segment. This improved version of the third generation design aims to sharpen its proposition considerably. The first two generations of Vivaro, launched respectively in 2001 and 2014, were designs shared with Renault and Nissan but this MK3 model switched to a Stellantis Group EMP2 platform at its launch in 2019. That means it's basically the same product as a Peugeot Expert, a Citroen Dispatch, a Fiat Scudo or a Toyota Proace. In an effort to make this British-built Vivaro stand out from these close cousins (and offer revitalised appeal against an all-new version of its arch-rival Ford's Transit Custom), Vauxhall introduced the range of mid-term updates in late 2023 that we going to look at here, applicable to both combustion and electric models.
In a medium range market where there really isn't that much to choose between the very best panel vans, buying decisions often come down to very small differences. If you've an LCV brand, the more of these you can build into your product, the better placed it will be. And on that basis, the improved version of this third generation Vivaro is very well placed indeed. It's now got a bit more visual identity and the enhanced cockpit tech is very welcome. Of course, potential Vivaro customers convinced by Vauxhall's proposition will need to remember that in a rival Peugeot Expert, Citroen Dispatch, Fiat Scudo or Toyota Proace, they could have pretty much exactly the same product with a different badge. It's at that point though that the power of Vauxhall's huge UK dealer network might well sway the decision this Luton brand's way. A small but significant difference. But maybe perhaps in this case, a crucial one.
