At a London ceremony yesterday, What Van? presented Vauxhall with two honors for its Vivaro van: the 2015 Best Medium Van, and the Innovation Award for its blind-spot mirror.
“The new UK-built Vauxhall Vivaro is a huge step forward from its predecessor, and provides an unprecedented level of user-friendly interior functionality for operators that need their vehicle to double-up as a mobile workspace,” said What Van? Editor Paul Barker. “Class-leading refinement and excellent new engines add to the innovative ideas to offer an efficient and cost-effective all-rounder.”
For the Best Medium Van honors, the Vivaro was praised for its series of diesel engines (most notably the 1.6L BiTurbo), class-leading build quality, practicality with improved cargo dimensions and excellent payload capability, and a comfortable cabin that also functions as a mobile office with the latest in infotainment technology. Since van drivers spend hours behind the wheel, having car-like comfort makes for a very practical workhorse.
For the Innovation Award, Vivaro’s dual-lens rear-view mirrors received special praise for improving blind-spot vision. The mirrors feature a separate lower section that provides extra vision for overtaking, as well as the larger aspherical outer section that offers better long-range visibility.
“We’re delighted to receive these awards from What Van?,” said Vauxhall’s National Commercial Vehicle and B2B Sales Manager Richard Collier. “The all-new Brit-built Vivaro has proved to be a very popular choice for our customers and has been our most successful commercial vehicle launch ever.”
The sweepstakes closes on December 22nd and the drawing will take place on December 28th.
