Pricing for the new Vauxhall Vivaro-e Life MPV has been announced. The firm’s first all-electric people carrier is available to order now, priced from £34,645 including the Government’s plug-in vehicle grant – and first deliveries are expected to arrive in late October.
Standard equipment for the entry-level Vauxhall Vivaro-e Life edition includes 16-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, a few cupholders and a pair of electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors. buyers get a couple of convenience features, too, such as an electronic vehicle parking brake and cruise control.

The Vauxhall Vivaro-e Life follows the conventional Vivaro-e panel van into the showrooms and, like its commercial cousin, it’s powered by a 50kWh battery pack and an electric motor mounted on the front axle, which has an output of 134bhp and 260Nm of torque. top speed is electronically limited to 80mph, while the van’s maximum range is 143 miles.
