Vauxhall Combo Lease

A reliable small van built for practicality, efficiency and everyday business use

The Vauxhall Combo Electric is one of the most compelling zero-emission small vans available on the UK market today. Whether you are a sole trader looking to cut running costs, a fleet operator chasing lower emissions targets, or a business that needs a practical crew van for multi-person jobs, the Combo Electric delivers a genuinely versatile package. Powered by a 136hp fully electric drivetrain paired with an automatic gearbox, and available in two body lengths — the compact M (L1) and the roomier XL (L2) — this van covers a wide range of commercial requirements without producing a single gram of tailpipe CO2. A Vauxhall Combo Electric lease through Swiss Vans puts this capable van on your fleet without the burden of a large upfront capital outlay, keeping your cash working in the business rather than sitting in depreciating metal.

Load Space & Payload

The Combo Electric is offered in two distinct body lengths to suit different load requirements. The M variant uses an L1 (shorter) wheelbase configuration, making it ideal for urban routes, tight delivery schedules, and businesses that need to navigate city centres with ease. The XL variant steps up to an L2 (longer) wheelbase, providing additional load length for bulkier or longer items.

Both body lengths are available as traditional panel vans with seating for three occupants, keeping the maximum possible volume dedicated to cargo. Alternatively, crew van configurations seat five people, making them a practical choice for tradespeople who need to transport a full team and their tools in a single vehicle.

The XL Crew Van adds further practicality with twin sliding side doors and barn doors at the rear, improving access to both passengers and cargo. Optional accessories can further enhance load-carrying capability, including:

• An offside sliding side loading door (£275) for panel van variants that need improved kerbside access
• A glazed window in the bulkhead (£60) to improve driver visibility to the load area
• Glazed asymmetric rear doors (£200) opening to 180 degrees, with a heated window and wiper in the larger door
• A non-skid wood floor trim (£270) to protect the load area floor and prevent cargo movement
• The Cargo Pack (£250), which adds two top stowage rings, LED reinforced lighting, and a 12V socket in the loading area

These options allow businesses to tailor the Combo Electric's load area to their precise operational needs, whether that is a clean-floor delivery van or a fully equipped trade vehicle.

Engines & Performance

Every Vauxhall Combo Electric in the current range uses the same 136hp fully electric motor, driving through a smooth automatic gearbox. CO2 emissions are rated at 0 g/km across the entire range, making the Combo Electric exempt from Clean Air Zone charges in UK cities and helping fleets meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations.

The automatic transmission means there is no clutch to manage and no gear changes to make in stop-start urban traffic, reducing driver fatigue on busy delivery rounds. The electric drivetrain also delivers instant torque from a standstill, which aids loading bay manoeuvres and pulling away on inclines.

For businesses looking to maximise charging flexibility, the optional 11kW bi-directional three-phase onboard charger (£350) is available. This accessory offers faster charging speeds where three-phase power is available and also supports bi-directional capability, meaning the van's battery can potentially supply power back to a suitable infrastructure. There is also an ePTO — 400V Plug & Electric Socket option (£360) available for powering equipment directly from the van.

For operators in colder climates or those who run the van through winter months, the Winter Pack (£750) is strongly recommended. Designed exclusively for electric variants, it includes a heat pump, leather heated steering wheel, automatic air conditioning and recirculation, automatic windscreen wipers, automatic headlamps, fog lights, foldable door mirrors, and black painted side mirrors — a comprehensive bundle that protects both driver comfort and battery efficiency in low temperatures.

Trims & Variants

The Combo Electric range is structured across three trim levels — Prime, Prime-Plus, and Pro — available across the M and XL body lengths. Here is a full breakdown of all six variants and their list prices:

• M Electric 136hp Automatic Prime Crew Van — 5 seats, L1 — £30,745
• M Electric 136hp Automatic Prime-Plus Panel Van — 3 seats, L1 — £28,445
• M Electric 136hp Automatic Pro Panel Van — 3 seats, L1 — £29,745
• XL Electric 136hp Automatic Prime Crew Van — 5 seats, L2, twin side doors, barn doors — £30,760
• XL Electric 136hp Automatic Prime-Plus Panel Van — 3 seats, L2 — £29,395
• XL Electric 136hp Automatic Pro Panel Van — 3 seats, L2 — £30,695

The Prime trim forms the basis of the crew van offering in both body lengths. The Prime-Plus trim is the entry point for panel van buyers and is offered at the most accessible price point in the range, starting at £28,445 for the M body. The Pro trim steps up the specification for panel van users who require a higher level of equipment as standard.

Personalisation options extend to a solid colour choice including Jade White, Red, and White at no extra charge, or a range of metallic finishes. Kiama Blue, Quartz Silver, and Pearl Black metallic paints each carry a £500 upcharge. Additional no-upcharge metallic options include Grey/Silver, Moonstone Grey Metallic, and Pearl Black Metallic.

Buyers can also add the Access & Go Pack (£500), which bundles keyless access, automatic climate control, electric parking brake, automatic windscreen wipers, automatic headlamps, fog lights, foldable door mirrors, and black painted side mirrors into a single convenient option. A Thatcham Category 1 approved alarm with perimetric and volumetric sensors plus a tilt sensor is available for £225, and 16-inch Viana alloy wheels can be specified for £300. A full-size steel spare wheel is available for £140 for operators who want roadside peace of mind.

Finance & Leasing

Leasing the Vauxhall Combo Electric is an increasingly popular choice for UK businesses of all sizes, and it is easy to see why. Rather than committing significant capital to an outright purchase, a Vauxhall Combo Electric lease spreads the cost into predictable fixed monthly payments, which simplifies budgeting and cash flow management. VAT-registered businesses can typically reclaim 50% of the VAT on the monthly rental for a van used for mixed business and personal use, or 100% if the van is used solely for business purposes.

With list prices ranging from £28,445 for the M Prime-Plus panel van up to £30,760 for the XL Prime Crew Van, the Combo Electric sits at a price point where leasing makes strong financial sense. Electric vans also benefit from lower benefit-in-kind tax rates and are exempt from many city-centre charging zones, reducing the total cost of operation compared with equivalent diesel vans.

At Swiss Vans, our leasing specialists work with a panel of funders to find the most competitive rates across all six Combo Electric variants. Terms are flexible, and we can tailor mileage allowances to match your actual business usage. Whether you need a single van or a fleet of vehicles, we can structure a deal that works for your operation.

Conversions & Use Cases

The Combo Electric's combination of zero emissions, compact dimensions, and flexible body styles makes it well suited to a broad range of commercial uses. Here are some of the most common applications:

• Last-mile delivery: The M (L1) panel van is perfectly sized for urban parcel delivery, with a low loading sill, a practical load area, and zero tailpipe emissions that allow access to Clean Air Zones without penalty.
• Trade and maintenance: The XL (L2) panel van provides additional load length for plumbers, electricians, and carpenters who need to carry longer materials and tools. The optional non-skid wood floor and cargo pack make the load area job-ready.
• Multi-person crew transport: Both the M and XL crew van variants seat five people, making them ideal for construction firms, maintenance teams, or any business that needs to move a full team between sites. The XL Crew Van's twin sliding side doors and barn doors add valuable access flexibility on busy sites.
• Refrigerated and specialist conversions: The Combo Electric's electric powertrain is compatible with specialist conversion work. The ePTO 400V Plug & Electric Socket option (£360) allows the van's battery to power ancillary equipment, making it suitable for refrigerated body conversions or tool power supply.
• Municipal and public sector fleets: Local authorities and public sector organisations looking to decarbonise their light commercial vehicle fleets will find the Combo Electric's 0 g/km CO2 rating and Thatcham-approved alarm option particularly attractive.

Swiss Vans works with a network of approved converters and can discuss bodywork and racking solutions alongside the lease agreement, giving you a fully operational vehicle from day one.

What is the CO2 output of the Vauxhall Combo Electric?

Every variant in the Vauxhall Combo Electric range has a CO2 emission rating of 0 g/km. This makes the Combo Electric fully exempt from Clean Air Zone charges in UK cities and positions it as a strong choice for businesses seeking to reduce their fleet's environmental footprint and meet increasingly strict emissions regulations.

What optional charging equipment is available for the Combo Electric?

The Combo Electric can be specified with an 11kW bi-directional three-phase onboard charger for £350. This accessory offers faster charging speeds where three-phase power is available and supports bi-directional charging capability. Additionally, an ePTO — 400V Plug & Electric Socket is available for £360, enabling the van to power external electrical equipment directly from its battery.

How does van leasing work and what are the benefits for my business?

Van leasing (also known as finance lease or contract hire) allows your business to use a vehicle in exchange for fixed monthly payments over an agreed contract term, rather than purchasing the van outright. At the end of the contract you return the vehicle. Key benefits include preserving working capital, predictable monthly costs that simplify budgeting, and — for VAT-registered businesses — the ability to reclaim a portion of the VAT on monthly rentals. Swiss Vans can tailor the mileage allowance and contract length to suit your specific business requirements, ensuring you only pay for what you need.
