The Opel Vivaro truly is multitalented. It serves as a flexible and dependable colleague and simultaneously as an efficient transporter. Thanks to the numerous configuration options, the all-rounder is Opel's top-selling commercial vehicle. Now the Vivaro is opening a new chapter - with the especially comfortable and versatile passenger variants Vivaro Tourer and Vivaro Life. Both newcomers are celebrating their debuts at the Frankfurt Motor Show and also have the following in common: first-class equipment and comfort similar to that offered by a passenger car, variable seat configurations for passengers along with innovative technologies and assistance systems. For example, cruise control with speed limiter, a leather steering wheel and fog lights come as standard on both variants. In addition, both of the new large van variants will also dazzle with further design details
"Our new passenger variants, the Opel Vivaro Life and Tourer, open up a vast new range of applications for our customers. As a comfortable business shuttle bus and travelling companion for work and recreation, the Vivaro now also meets highest demands in terms of comfort and flexibility," said Steffen Raschig, Director Commercial Vehicles Opel & Vauxhall.
Vivaro Life: Motel on wheels
The new Vivaro Life is the ideal camper and recreational van. Owners can simply head out and enjoy a longer break wherever they want - even if it involves overnight stays. Thanks to its clever and flexible equipment, the Vivaro Life is perfectly suited for an extended camping trip or for a spontaneous weekend trip for two. Standard swiveling individual seats in the second row and a moveable, rail mounted seat bench equipped with a clever mechanism that can turn it into a comfortable bed in seconds in the third row help convert the lifestyle van into a cozy place to sleep with exemplary comfort within seconds. Options include extra-dark tinted windows, a folding table between the second and third rows along with an auxiliary heater, which ensures comfortable temperatures even during the winter months.
Like its Vivaro Tourer sibling, the Vivaro Life comes with interior cladding with LED overhead lighting along with USB ports and a plug in the passenger compartment as standard. Air-conditioning/automatic climate control, Park Assist and many more features are also included in the standard version, as is plenty of comfort for driver and front seat passenger. Both can enjoy a relaxing drive thanks to the six-way adjustable seats with armrests, lumbar support and side airbags.
Vivaro Tourer: Professional passenger shuttle with business lounge qualities
The new Opel Vivaro Tourer has the perfect credentials for a comfortable business and travelling lounge thanks to the numerous interior configuration possibilities. The second row of seats consisting of three individual seats with armrests on the outside is mounted on a rail system as standard in the versatile VIP shuttle. In order to facilitate access to the third row of seats which is also mounted on a rail system, the seats in the second row can easily be folded forwards thanks to the Easy Entry function. Furthermore, the Vivaro can also be ordered with an optional second sliding door.
Those who want to use the Vivaro Tourer as a modern mobile meeting room can simply spin the second row of seats by 180 degrees, creating an inviting face-to-face environment. The roomy van is even more comfortable with two optional 360-degree swivel seats - also available in black leather - and folding table. Laptops and other mobile devices can easily be connected via two USB ports and a 220 volt plug (up to 300 watts) in the second row. The entire interior is cladded as standard - just as it is in the Vivaro Life - to ensure the appropriate atmosphere. Elsewhere, the LED overhead lighting provides pleasant light in the dark, automatic climate control in the front and manual air-conditioning in the rear assure agreeable temperatures and standard tinted rear windows ensure privacy.
Front seat occupants can also enjoy practical comfort. A front passenger bench for two people with integrated storage compartment comes as standard, while an optional six-way adjustable individual passenger seat with armrest, lumbar support and side airbag is available as an option. Apart from the tactilely pleasant leather steering wheel, modern assistance systems make the drive more relaxing: Rear Park Assist helps prevent unwanted bumps and scratches when maneuvering, and a Rear View Camera is available as an option. The windshield wipers and headlights are activated automatically when necessary. The static cornering light illuminates the curve in the direction of travel. Furthermore, the Vivaro Tourer always comes with LED daytime running lights.
Four different infotainment systems are available for outstanding entertainment, including the optional Navi 80 IntelliLink with real time traffic function. The system is easy to operate via the 7-inch color touchscreen, buttons on the steering wheel or voice control. The navigation unit can also provide the driver with real-time traffic updates and provide alternative routes before getting stuck in traffic thanks to its digital connectivity.
Strong characters: Chic exterior, comfortable interior
The Vivaro Life and the Vivaro Tourer both also feature exclusive exterior looks accented by high-gloss black door and tailgate handles as well as side-view mirror housings. In addition, extra-dark tinted windows behind the B-pillar and 17-inch BiColor alloy wheels in "Diamond Cut" look are available. Those who want an even higher-class interior can select the elegant leather trim option and the Irmscher Style Pack.
