The new 2014 Vauxhall Corsa — a new Corsavan model could up the stakes in the car-derived van market<\/p><\/div>\n

Disclosure: I received\u00a0no payment for this review but I did receive one night\u2019s\u00a0accommodation\u00a0and\u00a0hospitality paid for by Vauxhall.<\/em><\/p>\n

Genuine car-derived vans are thin on the ground these days. Peugeot\u00a0opted not to replace the 207 Van<\/a> and MINI abandoned the Clubvan after a short flirtation with the UK van market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result, there are only two real players — the Ford Fiesta Van<\/a> and the Vauxhall Corsavan. Both models are popular and well-respected, but there’s no denying that the current Corsa is getting a bit long in the tooth, compared to its Dagenham\u00a0competition.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Vauxhall has just launched a new version\u00a0of\u00a0the Corsa, and I suspect that a new Corsavan model will break cover in the near future.<\/p>\n

This could be good news for\u00a0Corsavan drivers, as having driven the the new Corsa car at its UK launch, I can report\u00a0that it’s by\u00a0far the best Corsa yet — and a big\u00a0step up from the\u00a0outgoing\u00a0model.<\/p>\n

You can read my\u00a0full review of the new Corsa\u00a0here, on SimpleMotoring.co.uk<\/a>, but\u00a0here are some of the main highlights:<\/p>\n
