The What Van? Road Test: Vauxhall Movano
Date: Monday, March 4, 2024
Load bay
Access to the cargo area is by means of a sliding door on each side (the offside one is optional) and through twin rear doors which can be swung through 90º, and through 180º if you unhook the easy-to-release stays.
Good to see that the doors have big exterior handles which you can grasp without having to take off your insulated gloves. Front-wheel-drive makes it easy to step in and out of the cargo box, which features two interior lights, and the generous dimensions of the side door apertures can only be applauded.
A full-height steel bulkhead separates the cab from the cargo area and there is no excuse for failing to secure your load properly. There are eight tie-down rings in the floor, two at the bottom of the bulkhead, and two in each of the sidewalls; an impressive 14 in total.
Looking for somewhere to stow your lashing straps? Then how about the shelf above the cab, accessible solely from the load bay?
Our vehicle’s load area was fully timbered out to protect it from damage.
