The Vauxhall Combo Life is one of a trilogy of new van derived MPV, multipurpose vehicles also known as ‘people carriers’. Its stablemates are the Peugeot Rifter and Citroen Berlingo and they are all available with five and seven seat versions with standard or longer body styles.
With the on-going arrival of all-new SUVs of all sizes in full swing, the popular market sector also offers updated versions of SUVs which have been available for much longer.
In recent weeks I have watched a variety of documentaries from the wildest and most remote places on earth and while the presenters change with each programme there seems to be a satisfying, reassuring continuity as they are all conveyed in a Toyota Land Cruiser.
Given the turmoil in the world’s car industry, the faltering global economy, falling sales, demonization of diesel engines and in the UK that touchy issue about Brexit, Vauxhall’s latest advertising strapline for their Grandland X mid-sized SUV, ‘Keeps Calm – Carries On’, looks like sensible advice if we chose to take it.
Everyone likes surprises, especially if they give you even more than expected, such as with the SsangYong Tivoli SUV.
