Movano-e wraps up electrifying Opel van lineup

The Opel Movano trademark has been around for 24 years now, at first used to denote rebadged Renault Master Mk2 and Mk3 vans and later as a clone of the Citroen Jumper, Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer. There is now an electric version coming to the market as well.

Powering the regular Opel Movano is a 2.2-liter turbo diesel rated between 120 and 165 horsepower, as well as between 300 and 370 Newton-meters of torque. The transmission is six-speed manual. In contrast, the Movano-e utilizes a single electric motor that gives it 122 hp and 260 Nm. The smaller 37-kWh battery grants it only 117 kilometers of WLTP-rated driving range, but you can specify the larger 70-kWh cell array for 224 kilometers of all-electric driving. Top speed never exceeds 110 kilometers per hour, and you can switch between powertrain modes using buttons.

The standard version ships with a cab for three people, but you can order a Doppelkabine version to get a second row with a bench for four more. Options include a 7-inch infotainment system and an HVAC system with a black-and-white display.

The diesel-powered Movano is slated to hit the showrooms across Europe in summer, and the EV should follow in late 2021.
