Vauxhall Minibuses & Passenger Vehicles

Vauxhall covers passenger transport from the factory-built Vivaro Life Electric through to larger Movano-based minibuses produced by specialist UK converters. The Vivaro Life offers up to nine seats in a car-like electric people carrier, while diesel and electric Movano conversions provide additional capacity for schools, community groups, private hire and accessible transport.

Vauxhall Vivaro Life Electric Combi

The Vivaro Life Electric is Vauxhall's factory-built electric passenger van, combining up to nine seats with twin sliding side doors and the relatively manageable dimensions of a medium-sized van. Combi models prioritise passenger capacity, while higher trims offer more car-like seating and equipment. It suits larger families, hotel and airport transfers, private hire and organisations needing a spacious zero-emission people carrier.

The Movano Electric can also be converted into a zero-emission minibus for school, community, care and shuttle work. Current UK conversions include layouts for up to 14 occupants, with wheelchair-accessible configurations also available. It uses the latest Movano Electric platform, giving operators a large passenger vehicle without a diesel engine and making particular sense for predictable daily routes and urban or clean-air-zone operation.

Important Information

Prices, specifications, dimensions, seating capacities, weights, power outputs and equipment are based primarily on information published by vehicle manufacturers, their official UK representatives and established specialist converters. Specifications can vary by trim, body length, configuration, conversion, model year and individual vehicle. Where a passenger vehicle is produced or modified by a third-party converter, specifications and pricing may vary substantially between suppliers.

Prices shown are UK prices where available and are intended as a guide. Where an official UK list price is unavailable, pricing may be shown as approximate or POA. Prices can change and may exclude optional equipment, conversions, delivery charges or other operator-specific costs.

Licence categories shown are a general guide only. Individual driving entitlement can vary according to passenger-seat count, vehicle weight, vehicle length, licence issue date, grandfather rights, Section 19 operation and other exemptions. Passenger-seat counts used for licence purposes exclude the driver. Always check the vehicle's plated specification and your own driving-licence entitlement before driving.

Electric range figures can vary according to passenger load, weather, heating or air-conditioning use, driving style, vehicle configuration and conversion weight.

Specifications are checked against the latest information reasonably available to The New Yardstick at the time of publication or update. Manufacturers and converters may alter specifications, pricing or model availability without notice.
