Opel Combo Facts for Kids

The Opel Combo is a super useful vehicle made by the German company Opel. It's known as a "panel van" or a "leisure activity vehicle." This means it can be used for carrying goods, like a small delivery truck, or for carrying people and their gear, like a family car.

This vehicle has different names depending on where you are! In Great Britain, it's called the Vauxhall Combo. In Chile, it's the Chevrolet Combo, and in Australia and New Zealand, it's known as the Holden Combo.

The name "Combo" was actually used before on a different type of van, a 3-door panel van version of the Opel Kadett E. The Opel Combo competes with other similar vans and leisure vehicles like the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Volkswagen Caddy/Life, and the Fiat Doblo.
