Opel’s Combo has long been a versatile workhorse among compact commercial vehicles, but the new Combo Tech special series takes it to a whole new level. With a package designed to blend practicality with comfort and style, Opel is clearly aiming to make life easier for tradespeople who spend long hours behind the wheel.
At first glance, the Combo Tech might look like just another compact van—but the devil is in the details. Standard Intelli-Lux Matrix headlights, a multi-adjustable comfort driver’s seat, and a fully integrated infotainment system with navigation elevate this van to near passenger-car territory. Exterior touches such as car-style bumpers and tech-inspired body decals give the van a polished, professional presence that stands out on the street.
Priced from €26,600 in Germany (excluding VAT), the Combo Tech also delivers savings of roughly €1,000 compared to a model fitted with the same options individually. Buyers can choose between a battery-electric Combo Electric and two diesel variants, offering flexibility for a range of commercial needs.
Practicality Meets Comfort
Measuring 4.40 meters long, each Combo Tech variant offers up to 3.8 cubic meters of cargo space and a load compartment extending up to 3.09 meters. Payload capacity reaches 650 kilograms for the diesel versions, while the electric Combo Electric can handle up to 780 kilograms. These figures place the Combo Tech firmly within the practical van segment—but with a twist.
Inside, the van continues to impress. Drivers enjoy a six-way adjustable comfort seat with lumbar support and armrest, while the two-zone automatic climate control keeps temperatures pleasant year-round. Cold-weather comfort is boosted with a heated steering wheel, wrapped in high-quality leather-like material.
Tech That Makes a Difference
Safety and convenience are also high on the agenda. The Combo Tech comes standard with Intelli-Lux Matrix headlights, fog lights, and the Dynamic Surround View system, which provides a digital interior rear-view mirror covering blind spots or reversing angles. The Visiopark 180° camera system adds confidence when maneuvering in tight spaces.
Connectivity is another area where the Combo Tech shines. The IVI HIGH infotainment system pairs a 10-inch instrument cluster with an equally impressive central HD display. Features like natural speech recognition, TomTom navigation, smartphone mirroring, and an inductive charging station make the van both functional and modern. Keyless Entry & Go comes standard, rounding out the driver-focused tech suite.
A Stylish and Flexible Choice
The Combo Tech also delivers on style. Kaolin White is standard, with metallic Kontrast Grey and Libeccio Blue as options. Black accents on the door handles, mirror caps, and side strips, paired with 16-inch alloys, create a refined, high-quality look. Inside, clever storage compartments, rubber load protection, and slip-prevention measures make loading and unloading more practical.
Powertrains are versatile, with the all-electric variant offering 100 kW (136 hp) and a WLTP-rated 354-km range, while diesel options include 75 kW (102 hp) with a six-speed manual or 100 kW (136 hp) with an eight-speed automatic.
In the Combo Tech, Opel has managed to create a compact commercial vehicle that doesn’t compromise on comfort, style, or practicality. For tradespeople who demand efficiency without sacrificing driver satisfaction, it’s a compelling proposition—one that makes the Combo Tech not just a work van, but a mobile office and a statement vehicle for any company.
