Vauxhall has revealed prices for the new Movano panel van, as well as confirming the cost of the new all-electric Movano-e variant, both of which are on sale in Britain now.
This new Vauxhall Movano-e joins the Combo-e and Vivaro-e in Vauxhall’s electric commercial car line-up while providing fresh competition for the Fiat e-Ducato in the large panel van sector.

The Movano-e features an electric motor mounted on the front axle producing 118bhp and 260Nm of torque. For now, it’s only available with a 70kWh battery, which provides a maximum range of 139 miles. prices start from £61,085 excluding VAT for the Movano-e, which is available in two body styles.

The battery is mounted under the van’s floor, which implies there’s no compromise when it concerns practicality. alongside the two available wheelbase lengths, the van can also carry a payload of up to 2,100kg. As an added benefit, Vauxhall also says that the Movano-e’s battery enhances the van’s cornering ability and improves its stability when fully loaded, as that low-down mounting in the vehicle’s chassis drops its centre of gravity.

Every version of the Movano-e is provided in range topping dynamic equipment grade.This includes forward collision alert, lane departure cautioning and trailer merge assist, which accounts for the extra length of a trailer when cautioning chauffeurs of traffic in their blind spot. parking assist is also standard fit.
For those who need a little much more range, Vauxhall also provides two diesel versions of the new Movano, both of which use the same turbocharged 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine.
The diesel line-up opens from £30,755 excluding VAT. The lower-powered option produces 138bhp and 300Nm of torque, while the much more powerful model has 163bhp and 370Nm of torque. Both engines meet the most recent Euro 6d emissions policies and send drive to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
Further body options include chassis cab and chassis crew cab variants, which Vauxhall says are well-suited to conversions such as tipper trucks or dropside loaders. Vauxhall will also supply the van with seating for either three or seven. The standard panel van has a single row up front with three seats, while crew cab versions get a second row in the rear, with space for an extra four passengers.
