Vauxhall Movano – which powertrain is best?
I’m thinking of buying a Vauxhall Movano, but can’t work out if I need front-wheel or rear-wheel drive? Also, which engine is best?

As always with vans, it depends on what you’re planning to use it for. However, it’s worth noting that rear-wheel drive is only beneficial if you’re looking to carry or tow heavy loads. Otherwise, go for the front-wheel drive option, which will offer better fuel economy and a lower load bay.
The 2.3 CDTI engine is frugal enough, but my recommendation would be the 120PS unit. Only go for the 150Ps if, again, you are carry heavy loads on a regular basis.
