Opel Corsavan/Combo – the small panel vans of the Corsa generations: four-cylinder 1.0 to 1.5-litre engines, kerb weights 734 to 1,237 kg, gross vehicle weight up to 1,710 kg
This page gathers the panel-van versions of the Opel Corsa, which Opel has built since 1982; as the Corsavan and, from the second generation, the Combo, the passenger-car body was fitted with an enclosed load area without a rear seat. Model designations such as 1.0S, 1.3S or C1.5D state engine displacement, trim line, and, on the diesels, the letter C for the Corsa C generation. Opel has belonged to the American General Motors group since 1929 and to the French PSA group, now Stellantis, since 2017; the Corsa range has been built at several European plants since 1982.

The register lists 12 versions here with four-cylinder engines of 993 to 1,488 cc, kerb weights of 734 to 1,237 kg, gross vehicle weights of 1,215 to 1,710 kg and widths of 1,530 to 1,720 mm.
As a small panel van, the Corsavan/Combo was aimed at tradesmen and courier and delivery firms, competing with the Fiat Fiorino, the Citroën Nemo/Berlingo and the VW Caddy. The Combo shares its platform with the corresponding Corsa passenger car, which simplifies servicing and parts supply compared with separately engineered small vans.
When buying one of these small vans, key points are corrosion on the load floor and rear doors, the condition of the clutch and brakes, and, on the older carburettor engines, the ignition timing; parts are widely available through the Opel network and the independent trade.
