What is the Opel Combo?
The Opel Combo is a high-roof van made for work and everyday life. In passenger form, it gives families and other passengers a roomy cabin; in Cargo form, it is set up for carrying goods. Its upright shape and sliding-door layout make it practical when people or bulky items need to get in and out.
The name began with the Kadett Combo in 1985, and became a separate model line in 1993. The Combo Tour brought a family-focused version, followed later by the passenger-oriented Combo Life. Opel’s long history with commercial vehicles also includes the Combo Cargo.
Combo generations
The Combo C ran from 2001 to 2011. It served both commercial users and families, with the Combo Tour aimed at passengers. The Combo D followed from 2011 to 2017, offering different body lengths and configurations for passenger and load space.
The Combo E began in 2018, continuing the choice between work-focused Combo Cargo and passenger-oriented Combo Life. Its high-roof design carries on the practical approach that has defined the name.
