It is equipped with a three-level recuperation regenerative braking system and is powered by a 136 PS electric motor.
Additionally, Vivaro Electric has a device called a “e-Power Take-Off Unit” that uses the traction battery to power small tools or refrigerator units for vans with air conditioning.
The Vizor front end is standard on all Vivaro models, and the cabin has wireless smartphone connectivity, two 10-inch screens (one for a driver information display and the other for a touchscreen).
There are now more storage areas surrounding the central console and instrument panel.
Among the eighteen cutting-edge driver aid technologies available on the Vivaro is dynamic surround vision, which consists of two cameras mounted beneath the passenger-side outside mirror and above the rear doors. The pictures appear in the rearview mirror.
Front park assist, high beam help, lane keep assist, driver attention alert, intelligent speed assist, and adaptive cruise control are some of the other safety features that are offered.
