Model guide

Opel Vivaro Electric overview

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

Design

The updated exterior of the Vivaro Electric is characterized by the integration of the Opel Vizor front facade, aligning the commercial model with the brand's passenger car lineup. This design choice features a sleek black panel running across the front, integrating the LED headlights into a single visual element. The styling updates contribute to a cleaner look while maintaining the functional boxy proportions of a traditional cargo van. Standard dimensions include a length of 4,959 mm and a wheelbase of 3,275 mm, allowing for a substantial footprint without compromising maneuverability.

Interior

Inside the cabin, the Vivaro Electric offers a three-seat configuration and shifts toward passenger-car ergonomics. The dashboard features a dual-screen layout consisting of a 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch central touchscreen for the infotainment system. Storage is addressed through various cubbies, slots, and door pockets spread throughout the cabin. Connectivity is updated with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside an available wireless smartphone charging pad to keep devices powered during long shifts. Additionally, the cabin design aims to provide a comfortable work environment for drivers who spend hours on the road.

Performance

Powering the Vivaro Electric is a 100 kW electric motor producing 136 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque, which drives the front wheels. Buyers can choose between two lithium-ion batteries: a 50 kWh pack offering a driving range of up to 230 km, and a larger 75 kWh pack extending the range up to 350 km on the WLTP cycle. Performance specs include a top speed limited to 130 km/h, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 12.1 seconds for the smaller battery and 13.3 seconds for the heavier 75 kWh variant. The drivetrain supports regenerative braking with adjustable intensity, and is compatible with fast charging at stations up to 100 kW.

Practicality

With a gross vehicle weight rating of 2,875 kg and a curb weight of 1,949 kg, the Vivaro Electric is built for commercial hauling. Its cargo-friendly dimensions and low load floor make loading goods straightforward. A turning diameter of 12.9 meters helps the van navigate tighter city streets and loading bays. Additionally, the van can be equipped with an e-Power Take-off Unit, which enables the traction battery to power external electric tools and devices directly, enhancing its utility at remote job sites.

Safety and tech

The tech suite in the Vivaro Electric is led by its new digital cockpit with dual 10-inch screens and wireless mobile integration. For illumination and safety, the vehicle features LED headlamps. Driver assistance and safety are supported by regenerative braking settings, allowing drivers to manage deceleration while recovering energy. The vehicle is also capable of DC fast charging, permitting quick top-ups during breaks to maximize uptime. The combination of digital instrumentation and modern connectivity helps operators stay connected while managing their routes efficiently.

Buyer notes

When choosing a Vivaro Electric, the primary decision centers on the battery capacity. The 50 kWh battery is lighter, slightly quicker, and suited for short-haul urban routes, whereas the 75 kWh battery offers extra range for longer intercity trips at the cost of added curb weight. Buyers should note that while standard specifications include FWD and a single-speed reduction gear, some specification sheets mention a multi-plate clutch configuration, which may require verification with the local dealer. Exact standard equipment and option packages can vary depending on the destination market.
