The initial impression of the Vauxhall cab is that it is pretty spacious. The single cab can take two passengers and there are lots of storage compartments for clipboards, documents and oddments. Its seating position and general design are comfortable; allround visibility is good.
Like most of the other tippers in this group, the Movano felt skittish when running empty. But once loaded, things were completely different with its smooth six-speed gearbox it was a pleasure to drive. Our test vehicle was equipped with Vauxhall's 2.5 CDTi engine producing 120hp with 290Nm of torque. The hill climb was completed fairly quickly and the engine coped well.
Road noise was all too noticeable on the motorway, and might become irritating on longer journeys.
As with all the Ingimex bodies in this test, the activation switch is on the vehicle's passenger side. It was straightforward to use and completed the tip in 20.1 seconds.
The competent Movano tipper gives a nice drive once it has some weight on the back, though someone with sensitive hearing might want to opt for another model.
The crewcab model is virtually the same as the single cab. Its rear bench, with room for four, can be folded up to allow access to a spacious storage locker and there's no shortage of legroom.
