The Movano is recorded with a four-cylinder diesel engine of 2.3 litres (2,299cc). With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,515kg, a payload of 985kg remains. The wheelbase of 4,330mm and width of 2,100mm correspond to a long-wheelbase chassis fitted with a box body. Top speed is given as 130km/h.
The Opel Movano is technically closely related to the Renault Master and, like it, is offered in numerous wheelbase and body-length variants. A payload of just under a tonne at full gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg is a typical figure for a box vehicle of this size class and makes it suited to classic transport and courier work, where volume matters more than payload per cubic metre of load space.
When buying a used vehicle on this chassis, checks include the turbocharger and intake tract, the condition of the front double-wishbone axle and, on high-mileage vehicles, the EGR valves and diesel particulate filter. On the body itself, check the frame mounting, the tightness of the seams and, on box bodies, the condition of the interior lining and the load-securing points, especially after years of daily delivery duty on tight schedules.
