The Corsavan is one of the most entertaining vehicles CM has tested this year. The chassis is willing, steering precise and, provided you are not loaded to the hilt, the ride is comfortable. The improvements have kept the Corsa on top of the CDV pecking order, while the Vauxhall interior, with its intelligent layout and simplicity, ensures you aren’t left disappointed. It’s also worth noting that the front of the new Corsavan has been dramatically changed from our test vehicle, bringing the looks of the small Vauxhall LCV closer to the rest of its Luton family. It’s also one of the more comfortable vans on sale, and although you don’t get the lofty driving position of a thoroughbred LCV, you do get all-round visibility thanks to the mirrors and narrow A-pillars. Comfort really is king in the Corsavan and, if you need to cover a lot of miles, the car-derived refinement will pay dividends with the driver. Storage is a problem, and load volume may deter some buyers, but with a 550kg payload there will continue to be great demand for the Corsavan as a quick, no-nonsense runabout for the busy tradesman.
