Opel Offers Electric Vans at Diesel Lease Rates

Opel's diesel-price leasing campaign for the Vivaro Electric and Combo Electric removes the cost premium that has historically slowed commercial EV adoption in Germany.

Opel has launched a B2B leasing campaign that prices its Vivaro Electric and Combo Electric vans at parity with comparable diesel models. The promotion, available through Stellantis Bank in Germany, runs through June 30, 2026. Monthly rates start at €270 (approximately $310 USD) for the Combo Electric and €316 (approximately $363 USD) for the Vivaro Electric, excluding VAT and with no special down payment required.

Highlights

  • Diesel-price parity: Opel is leasing the Vivaro Electric and Combo Electric at the same monthly rate as equivalent diesel variants through June 2026
  • Combo Electric specs: 100 kW (136 hp) motor, up to 354 km WLTP range, 4.4 m³ load volume, and 780 kg payload capacity
  • Vivaro Electric options: Available in two lengths with either a 49 kWh or 75 kWh battery, offering up to 352 km WLTP range
  • Payload leader: The Vivaro Electric carries up to 1,363 kg and offers a maximum 6.6 m³ load volume

Lease Terms and Pricing

Both offers are structured as 48-month leases with a 10,000 km annual mileage allowance. The financing runs through Stellantis Bank SA’s German branch. Contracts must be signed by June 30, 2026, and the offers cannot be combined with other promotions. Delivery costs are not included in the monthly rate.

The campaign targets a key cost barrier for commercial fleet operators. Electric vans typically carry higher lease rates than diesel equivalents. Opel’s initiative eliminates that gap for the duration of the promotion.
