Opel Vivaro Surf concept
Could go into limited production
Opel has transformed the Vivaro
passenger version into a leisure-oriented vehicle and they will show it at
IAA next week.
It was designed primarily for large groups of friends or big
families that enjoy practicing a variety of sports and Opel says this is the
perfect tool since it can host five or six passengers (depending on seat
configuration) and a tremendous amount of cargo. It has a copper brown and white exterior
finish and rides on a set of Irmscher alloy
wheels while the rear air suspension promises to deliver utmost comfort for
those inside the cabin.
The interior was modified by Snoeks Automotive and represents
the concept's biggest asset as it's large enough to accommodate voluminous
cargo, including skiing or snowboard equipment, bikes, surfboards and many
other items that have a maximum overall weight of 2,900 kg (5,800 lbs). The
doors and tailgate can be opened manually or through the keyless function and
provide access to a versatile floor featuring a useful rail system. Under the
second row of seats there's a full-width storage box while on the roof sits a
bespoke surfboard bracket.
The concept has been equipped with Opel's latest generation
of the Navi 50 IntelliLink infotainment system which boasts a 7-inch touchscreen
display and provides support to Bluetooth audio streaming, navigation, Siri
Eyes Free voice control and it also doubles as a Wi-Fi hot spot. Other goodies
include electric folding mirrors, heated front seats, park assist, light &
rain sensors and LED daytime running lights.
Power of the Opel Vivaro Surf concept comes from a BiTurbo
CDTI engine delivering 140 PS (103 kW) and 340 Nm (251 lb-ft) of torque
which enables the vehicle to hit a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h). It manages
to remain very frugal as the ecoFLEX version fitted with the start/stop
system has an average fuel consumption of just 6.1 liters / 100 km (38.5 mpg US
or 46.3 mpg UK) with corresponding CO2 emissions of 160 g/km.
Although it's billed as a concept, Opel says the IAA-bound Vivaro
Surf has chances of reaching production as a limited edition.
