Pricing details released for Vauxhall New Corsavan

17/01/07

Demand for Vauxhall van insurance deals could be set to rise after the UK-based automaker announced pricing details for its New Corsavan model.
 
The Vauxhall New Corsavan, which is available to order now before going on general sale in March 2007, will cost from £8,740 before VAT is taken into account.
 
This price is for the model powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine, while motorists who would prefer the 1.3-litre CDTi diesel alternative will have to pay upwards of £9,125 before VAT.
 
In addition, since both engine types are relatively small compared to full-sized commercial vehicles, users might be able to save money by getting a cheaper Vauxhall van insurance deal.
 
Despite its size, the New Corsavan can carry a payload of up to 550 kg.
 
This is 85 kg more than offered by its predecessor, while buyers of the next-generation model will also benefit from a taller and wider tailgate that is designed to improve accessibility.
 
Van insurance customers who are expected to be particularly keen on the new model include businesses that do an extensive amount of inner-city deliveries.
 
This is because, as the commercial-vehicle variant of the long-running Corsa supermini, Vauxhall claims that it benefits from handling characteristics that are comparable with those of a car.
 
Finally, motorists who are prepared to pay a bit extra can opt to include an electronic stability programme and a rear-parking assist system, which could potentially reduce the number of incidents that require owners to forfeit their van insurance no-claims discount.
 
In 1925, Vauxhall was acquired by American automotive giant General Motors (GM) as part of its business plan to increase sales in the UK.
