Vivaro Sportmotive version ??

[SimonTheSailor]

Been trying to find out what a 'Sportmotive' version is ? Is it an incredibly sporty version of the Vivaro van ? Can't seem to find a definitive description anywhere of it.


Lpoking at a Vivaro/Master/Primestar van for a camper - want to get a higher spec than a builders vans in case there is any extras that get thrown in.

Do you mean the 'Sportive' model?

Ah yes, maybe why I was finding no spec on it !! It is indeed the Sportive model I was trying to identify !!

It is just a trim level, looks a bit "sporty" in a loose sense of the word; alloys, body coloured bumpers, things like that, if it is anything like the Trafic Sport it will also have a slightly nicer cabin with a leather steering wheel and gear knob.

You're right my Traffic Sport came with alloys and air-con as standard probably a few other bits too that I've forgotten about.

Most sportives still come with hub caps and 1 inch smaller wheel size. You have to spec the 17 inch mag wheels.

Also, there is a more powerful 140bhp sportive but it’s really rare

Just get the standard re-mapped it makes a considerable difference all round, mines (a 2010 LWB Traffic Sport) been doing 43 MPG since the re-map 7 or 8 years ago.

Not sure what difference it will make on the current 1.6t motor. Doubt I’d want to do that to another van that may still be under warranty
