Vauxhall Introduces Vivaro GS Sports Van

Vauxhall has reintroduced its powerful 180hp engine to the Vivaro van as it launches the Vivaro GS. As well as featuring more power, the sporty Vivaro also incorporates striking styling updates and an upgraded interior.

Vauxhall Vivaro GS: Styling

At the front, a new lip spoiler adds to the Vivaro’s road presence, enhanced by the addition of side skirts with integrated front mudguards. The rear receives GS-specific features, including an integrated two-piece spoiler and a new rear bumper. A set of 18-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels with high-load capacity tyres completes the exterior aesthetic.

Inside, hand-crafted eco-leather seats with GS logos are now standard. The seats are finished in bold red stitching and perforated material for ventilation, combining sporty styling with comfort.

Vauxhall Vivaro GS: Power

Vauxhall is offering the Vivaro GS, driven by both diesel and electric power. The 2.0-litre diesel engine is unique to the GS and produces 180hp. That’s a 35hp increase over the next most powerful model in the range, which is enough to provide impressive performance when paired with the standard eight-speed automatic gearbox. In Panel Van guise, the van produces just 145g/km of CO2 and can achieve up to 51.3mpg, according to WLTP testing.

The GS trim will also be available with electric power exclusively in Panel Van configuration. With a 75kWh battery, the electric GS has a zero-emissions range of up to 189 miles under WLTP testing. Supporting charging at up to 100kW, an 80% charge takes just 45 minutes, adding around 150 miles of range.

Cargo volumes are identical in both models, with a load volume of 5.8m3. Payload is limited to 1,000kg.
