Vauxhall Vivaro Life Electric Estate

This spacious electric MPV is built to carry people first, with room for up to eight in the Design specification tested here. It suits families, small groups or anyone who regularly needs to move more than five people and their luggage in one trip. WLTP range is around 230 miles, and the battery supports 100kW DC rapid charging, so a top-up to a useful level can be done in around 30 to 45 minutes at a suitable charger. Sliding rear doors on both sides make loading passengers and luggage straightforward in tight parking spaces. Its van-based underpinnings mean a boxy, upright cabin rather than sporty styling, prioritising headroom and visibility over outright driving flair.
