Prestigious prize for Corsavan

Yet another trophy has been added to Vauxhall’s cabinet after the Corsavan was crowned ‘Small Van of the Year’ by the prestigious magazine, What Van?

The award is the second accolade for New Corsavan, which was named ‘Best Car-Derived Van’ by Professional Van and Light Truck magazine earlier in the year.

Praising the newest addition to Vauxhall’s LCV range, What Van? editor Neil McIntee said: “If you’re looking to minimise your carbon footprint without compromising on performance, ride, safety or cab space and are looking to achieve these in a small van you can park just about anywhere, look no further. We reckon that Vauxhall’s latest Corsavan could be just what you’re looking for, and that’s why it’s What Van? Small Van of the Year for 2007.”

The judges also praised Corsavan’s styling, payload and purpose-built load area – a feature uncommon in this area of the market, where a lot of vans are simply converted hatchbacks.

The latest piece of silverware brings Vauxhall’s haul of awards for its commercial vehicles to a total of 18 different commendations since 2005, while continued sales growth means Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles currently has its best year-to-date sales ever.

Regarded as the ultimate publication for van buyers and drivers, the What Van? awards are judged by a panel of drivers and fleet managers, as well as the magazine’s own editorial team.
