Together with the sister model Fiat Doblò II , the combo was built by the contract manufacturer Tofaş .

The fifth generation of the combo was developed together with PSA and has been available since summer 2018. The base is also used by the sister models Peugeot Rifter , Citroën Berlingo and Toyota ProAce City , which are all almost identical.

In October 2001 the Combo C based on the Corsa C came onto the market. The sliding side doors arranged on both sides were new in this generation . As a fully glazed van for the private market, which could be recognized by the chrome strut on the grill, it was called Combo Combi or Combo Tour .

The high-roof combination with partial glazing intended for commercial use was only sold under the name Combo and the panel van under the name Combo panel van . Due to the width of the loading area between the wheel arches of 1107 mm, the Combo C could only transport one Euro pallet.

The front structure, including the front axle construction, was taken over from the Corsa C, the torsion beam axle installed at the rear is similar to the version known from Meriva A and Astra G.

Together with the Corsa C, the non-commercial version of the Combo received a slight facelift in the summer of 2003, including widening the chrome strut in the radiator grille, which is typical of Opel, and redesigning the front bumper. The new infotainment generation was also used with the facelift.

From 2005 the special model Tramp was available, which was available from 2007 under the name Arizona. An underride guard and a lift by 20 mm were installed as standard.

The combo was built in the Figueruelas plant from the beginning of 2007 , where production was relocated after the production in Azambuja (Portugal) was closed.

In October 2010, the production of the Combo Tour was discontinued because the model could not meet the Euro 5 emission standard for cars that was required from the beginning of 2011 . Production of the Combo C panel van continued until January 2011.
