Vauxhall Arena

The Opel Arena was a pickup truck that was produced from December 1997 to February 2000.

As a replacement for the Isuzu Midi , the Renault Trafic was taken over by General Motors with minor modifications . The model was offered as the Vauxhall Arena in England and as the Chevrolet Space Van in Brazil. It was available as a minibus with up to eight seats or as a panel van , each with a high roof on request. The front-wheel drive car was equipped with a 1.9 or 2.5 l four-cylinder diesel engine with 44 kW / 60 PS or 55 kW / 75 PS. The curb weight is given as 1300 kg. The cargo space is approx. 5.3 m³.

The market success was modest, despite the standard equipment with central locking, electronic immobilizer and anti-lock braking system . The technology (especially the motors) was out of date, as the base, the Trafic, had been on the market for over 15 years at the time of publication. They were still vortex-chamber injection engines . The 1.9 l engine with 44 kW only allowed a maximum speed of 118 km / h, the 2.5 l with 55 kW came to 128 km / h. These values ​​were clearly inferior to the competitors, for example the VW T4 , which was available with similar key data in the diesel sector.

From September 2001 it was replaced by the Opel Vivaro developed jointly with Renault-Nissan .
