The new Corsavan from Vauxhall will go on sale in the UK next month.

The new model shares its design with the new Corsa which went on sale last month. Customers will be able to choose from two engines: a 1.2 petrol or a 1.3 CDTi diesel.

Vauxhall has increased the amount of storage in the back to 555kg. In total, the Corsavan will swallow a load of up to 0.85 cubic metres, while the longer floor and taller roofline give it an advantage over the previous model.

The Corsavan will come with remote central locking, a CD30 stereo-CD player, side-protection mouldings, under seat storage areas, a driver’s airbag and a full-sized spare wheel. Buyers will also be offered a Plus Pack, with air conditioning, electric windows, a four-piece load compartment cover, heated mirrors, rear parking sensors, front fog lights and a mesh upper bulkhead.

Prices and full specifications will be announced closer to launch.
