Vauxhall (Opel) Combo-e Life camper XL
A very good-sized boot combined with good comfort levels, very low consumption and average EV efficiency makes the Combo-e Life XL a good camper.
Add other features like the tailgate window you can open, the rear top shelf or the panoramic roof window, and you have a fully-fledged small camper ready to go. What would improve its NimbleCamper rating further? Taller boot for sure or even longer boot too.
This car’s boot is 223 cm long ⤢, 112 cm tall ↕, and 113 cm wide ↔.
NimbleCamper rating: 3.6/5
