What is the Vauxhall Combo Life?
The Combo Life is a family people carrier with a tall, van-like shape, a roomy cabin and sliding rear doors. Its practical layout makes it well suited to carrying passengers and bulky luggage. It brings a passenger-focused option to Vauxhall’s range, with the space and access of a van adapted for everyday family use.
The first-generation Combo Life, code K9, arrived in 2018 and continues today. It is offered in different body lengths, with seating for five or seven, giving families a choice of cabin space and passenger capacity.
Engines and power
In European Union registration figures for 2018–2020, the Combo Life was available with petrol and diesel engines from 1.2 L to 1.5 L. The 1.5 L diesel led the listed versions, with 3,972 registrations in 2019 and 3,408 in 2020. The 1.2 L petrol recorded 3,326 registrations in 2019.
The UK range listed by VCA for 2018–2026 includes diesel and electric versions. The listed engine size is 1.5 L, and power ranges from 74 kW (100 PS) to 136 kW (185 PS).
Fuel consumption and CO₂
The lowest listed UK consumption is 4.3 L/100 km on the NEDC test. That figure is associated with petrol, diesel and hybrid versions. NEDC is an older European test procedure; newer European ratings use WLTP. The USA uses EPA ratings and Canada uses a 5-cycle test, so results across markets reflect different procedures.
Where was it sold?
The Combo Life recorded 14,386 registrations in the European Union from 2018 to 2020, and appears in UK VCA figures from 2018 to 2026. Vauxhall is the British marque in the wider Opel family. The Combo Life carries the van-like packaging of the Combo line into a passenger vehicle, with sliding doors and a flexible cabin.
