The third generation of the Combo was no longer just a mundane utility vehicle with seats inside but rather an MPV that could have been used as an LCV.
While the first generation of the Combo was based on the same platform as the compact-sized Opel Kadett, the third generation was based on a stretched version of the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa platform. Even though that led to some minor compromises made in the commercial-vehicle version, the Combo was a better passenger-oriented car.
Sharing its front fascia with the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa was good. It sported an appealing design thanks to the new-edge design inspired headlights emphasized by the sharp angles and curved lines. The narrow, slatted grille was accompanied by a broader grille mounted in the apron. Unlike the Corsa, though, the Combo sported a much higher roof that was extended all the way to the back, where either a tailgate or two doors allowed the access to the trunk. In addition, gaining experience from its previous version, Opel decided to launch the vehicle with sliding doors that allowed an excellent ingress and egress to the car's cabin for the rear passengers.
Inside, the dashboard was carried over from the Corsa, with a small instrument cluster that comprised four dials for the speedometer, tachometer, plus fuel and temperature gauges. There was enough room inside for five adult passengers and plenty of room for the luggage behind the split-folding bench. The higher roof led to additional storage areas above the front seats.
Under the hood, the Combo had to rely on the Corsa's engine range. While the base version could hardly pull the vehicle fully loaded, the turbo-diesel version had no trouble at all doing it.
