It’s a spy photo double feature as the facelifted Opel Combo-e Life and Peugeot e-Partner have been spotted undergoing testing.
While there isn’t much to see, Stellantis is working on a minor update for their K9 van lineup that includes the Opel/Vauxhall Combo, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Fiat Doblo and Toyota ProAce City. As part of the makeover, the vans will receive a modernized front fascia and new headlights.
The look will likely vary by brand, but the Opel and Vauxhall models are expected to adopt the “Vizor” design that has spread across their lineup in the past few years.

Spy photographers didn’t get a good look inside, but the cabin appears to largely carryover. That being said, the vans might benefit from updated infotainment systems.
Little else is known about the vans at this point, but the electric variants could potentially offer an upgraded powertrain. That would be a welcome change as the current vans have a 50 kWh battery pack, which only provides up to 170 miles (274 km) of range in the WLTP cycle. The vans are also equipped with a 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) electric motor, which enables them to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in a leisurely 11.2 seconds.
