Vauxhall Astra dimensions (1998-2006)
In a world of swings and roundabouts, where the Astra van gains over its Combo brother in terms of drivability, it loses out in load volume and payload. The Combo has a big square load area that will swallow large items, whereas the Astra van’s is shorter in length and height.
Also worthy of mention are the Astravan’s standard half-height bulkhead and half-height sidewall panelling on later models.
Volume is 1.6 cubic metres as opposed to the Combo’s 2.8 cubic metres.
Load length in the van is 1,701mm, load width is 1,374mm and load height is 886mm.
The Astra van's payload is only 610kg, whereas the Combo takes 743-803kgs.
