New parity deal on Vauxhall Combo Electric
The van is available on business contract hire through Leasys, the joint venture equally owned by Stellantis and Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance, with an identical deposit, monthly payment and term to the diesel version.
On Prime trim, the Combo Electric costs £329pm with a £1,974 deposit, while customers can upgrade to Pro trim for £365pm with a £2,190 deposit. The contract term is 60 months with a mileage allowance of 6,000 miles per year.
Vauxhall calculates that users can save around £91 per month from switching to the electric model thanks to fuel savings of £64 per month based on 500 miles per month (6,000 miles annually) and a saving of £26 per month due to the current exemption on VED for electric vehicles. Sole traders and small businesses in London can also take advantage of the ULEZ van scrappage scheme and access a £9,500 grant by replacing a non-compliant diesel van with a Combo Electric.
The revamped Combo Electric now has a WLTP range of 213 miles – 38 more than its predecessor. Its 52kWh battery can be recharged from 0-80 per cent in 30 minutes at a 100kW public charging station. The 136hp electric motor develops 270Nm of torque and the Combo Electric also delivers up to 4.4 cubic metres of storage space – the same as the diesel version, plus a class-leading payload of up to 781kg and 750kg towing capacity.
The Combo Electric also comes with three years of roadside assistance and an eight-year battery warranty as standard.
