Model guide

Opel Vivaro overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior updates for the 2023 model year center on Opel's updated front profile. It features the brand's signature front lighting units connected by a dark horizontal panel integrating the central emblem. The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating rugged corner protection panels to withstand minor scrapes in busy urban environments. Black side moldings, door mirrors, and a black front bumper emphasize the utility nature of the base models. The van sits on 16-inch steel wheels fitted with 215/65R16 tires, and is equipped with sliding side loading doors on the right side alongside 180-degree opening rear barn doors for straightforward cargo access.

Interior

The updated cabin of the 2023 Vivaro emphasizes driver comfort and digital technology. The driver's seat features height, lumbar, and armrest adjustments for long-distance comfort. The redesigned dashboard now supports a 10-inch digital instrument cluster alongside a matching 10-inch central touchscreen infotainment system. This display supports wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, facilitating navigation and communications. Multiple storage areas throughout the cabin help organize paperwork and tools. Practical interior elements include 12V power sockets in both the main cabin and the cargo hold, alongside a full steel bulkhead behind the seats to isolate cargo noise and enhance occupant safety.

Performance

The 2023 Vivaro offers two primary four-cylinder turbodiesel engines. The 2.0-liter BlueHDi unit produces 145 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels. Alternatively, a 2.2-liter MultiJet diesel engine delivers 150 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque. Both configurations utilize a front-wheel-drive layout and are tuned for low-end torque delivery. The vehicle is equipped with independent MacPherson strut front suspension and a trailing-arm rear suspension setup utilizing coil springs. Stopping power is managed by disc brakes at all four corners, while steering is assisted by an electro-hydraulic system.

Practicality

Configured as a three-seat commercial van, the Vivaro focuses entirely on cargo logistics. The standard L2 variant measures 4.98 meters in length, providing up to 5.3 or 5.8 cubic meters of cargo space depending on configuration. The longer L3 body extends to 5.33 meters, boosting cargo volume to 6.1 or 6.6 cubic meters. Depending on the body style, the cargo floor accommodates cargo lengths from 3.6 to 4.0 meters. A standard engine protection guard underneath helps prevent damage from uneven roads and curbs. The passenger side sliding door and double rear doors allow quick forklift loading of standard pallets.

Safety and tech

Technology upgrades in the 2023 Vivaro include several active safety features and driver aids. The van comes equipped with anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and electronic brakeforce distribution. Passive protection includes dual front airbags, side impact airbags, and overhead curtain airbags. Driver convenience is enhanced by cruise control, a customizable speed limiter, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Rear parking sensors and a 180-degree rearview camera assist with low-speed maneuvering in confined loading docks. Additionally, tire pressure monitoring keeps the driver informed of tire conditions.

Buyer notes

When shopping for the 2023 Opel Vivaro, buyers should select the body length that suitable matches their typical payload dimensions. The L2 is easier to park in tighter urban environments, while the longer L3 provides crucial extra cargo length and volume. Standard equipment on base trims includes air conditioning, modern smartphone mirroring, and essential driver aids, making them highly usable work trucks. It is important to verify local market specifications, as exact engine availability, payload ratings, and rear door configurations can vary across different countries and regions.
