ANY JOURNEY NEEDS A STARTING POINT. AND HOW YOU REACH YOUR DESTINATION IS EVERY BIT AS
IMPORTANT AS WHERE THE JOURNEY LEADS YOU. TAKE VECTRA FROM VAUXHALL. CARS THAT MAKE
‘GETTING THERE’ A REWARD IN ITSELF. AS AUTO EXPRESS PUT IT ‘COMFORTABLE, SPACIOUS, REFINED
AND RELIABLE, THE VECTRA HAS THE AIR OF AN EXECUTIVE CLASS LEADER… WITH ALL THE GOODIES
THAT A MODERN FAMILY ON THE MOVE DEMANDS’. BEST OF ALL, THE REWARD REALLY IS THERE FOR
THE ASKING. YOU SIMPLY NEED TO MAKE THE JOURNEY.
LIFE IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF MOVING FORWARD AND VECTRA IS VERY MUCH PART OF THIS
PROGRESSION. HOW REFRESHING THOUGH, TO COME ACROSS A CAR THAT REJECTS SHORT-TERM
DESIGN FIXES IN FAVOUR OF SOMETHING ALTOGETHER MORE SUBSTANTIAL. A CAR THAT LOOKS
THE WAY A CAR’S SUPPOSED TO. SOLID. WELL-PROPORTIONED. MUSCULAR EVEN. AND WE’VE MADE
SURE THE EFFECT CARRIES THROUGH TO THE INTERIOR. BECAUSE, AS WITH ANYTHING IN LIFE,
THE INSPIRATION HAS TO COME FROM WITHIN.
PERFECTION IS THE
CHILD OF TIME
‘The overall effect is handsome. The car has presence.’
AUTOCAR February 2002

EVERYBODY LIKES TO SET TARGETS IN LIFE. NATURALLY WE’RE NO DIFFERENT. YET THERE’S
AN INTEGRITY TO VECTRA’S DESIGN THAT ROOTS IT SECURELY IN THE REAL WORLD. AND WHAT
YOU SEE ON THE SURFACE ONLY HINTS AT THE INTELLIGENT DESIGN SOLUTIONS BENEATH.
OUR PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE: IS IT LIGHTER? SAFER? STRONGER? AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
AFTER ALL, TECHNOLOGY HAS TO BE THERE FOR A REASON.
HIGH-PRECISION CON-RODS
Vectra employs high-precision con-rods, specially manufactured
by splitting a single casting using a fully automated hydraulic press.
The two parts marry perfectly when bolted together, allowing no
lateral movement at the joint when the engine is running. This helps
to maximise reliability and boost refinement.
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, YOU CAN
AND IF YOU THINK YOU CAN’T,
YOU’RE RIGHT
ALUMINIUM SUSPENSION PARTS
The use of lightweight aluminium in the front and rear suspension
components (control arms and steering knuckles at the front,
wheel carriers and lower suspension control arms at the rear)
helps reduce unsprung mass, giving greater wheel control and
allowing a better spring/damper response. This helps to enhance
ride and handling. It also reduces the overall weight of the vehicle,
which in turn optimises fuel economy.
7
SO WHAT, EXACTLY, IS ‘REFINEMENT’? SMOOTH, SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE? THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT
A CIVILIZED CONVERSATION AT MOTORWAY SPEEDS? OR IS IT JUST THE FEELING OF BEING IN CONTROL?
TO US, IT’S A BLEND OF ALL THESE THINGS AND MORE. REFINEMENT’S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE
MEASURED IN A LABORATORY. IT’S A STATE OF MIND. THE KIND THAT LEAVES YOU FEELING QUIETLY
SATISFIED. HIGH EXPECTATIONS REALISED.
HIGH ACHIEVEMENT ALWAYS TAKES PLACE IN THE
FRAMEWORK OF HIGH EXPECTATION
‘The moment you pull away, the feelgood factor increases by a factor of five’.
AUTOCAR June 2002

REALITY LEAVES A LOT TO THE
IMAGINATION
‘Roomy, elegant, capable with cracking engines packed with equipment and extras’.
LET’S CELEBRATE THE POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND – AND ITS POTENTIAL TO INNOVATE. LET’S
CONSIDER VECTRA ESTATE. AN ESTATE THAT NOT ONLY LOOKS THE PART BUT GENUINELY ACTS THE
PART TOO. CLASS-LEADING LUGGAGE CAPACITY. UNRIVALLED PASSENGER SPACE. AND A VERSATILITY
LESSER MODELS CAN’T ENVISAGE. SO NEXT TIME YOU’RE LOOKING TO CARRY PASSENGERS AND
LUGGAGE IN STYLE, THINK VECTRA ESTATE. AND SEE WHERE YOUR IMAGINATION CAN TAKE YOU.

FLEXORGANISER®
Creates easy, secure and clearly defined
storage compartments within the luggage
area, using rails built into the side panels
and a flexible arrangement of nets and
dividers. Two highly affordable systems
are available, the Divider pack (comprising
a flexible load divider, support rod and
two hooks for the rail system) and the
Organiser pack (multi-position net, side
net pocket and four hooks).
INTEGRATED ROOF RAILS
Full length, slimline roof rails accentuate
the model’s extended roofline as well
as providing a practical mounting point
for bike racks, roof boxes and other
carrier systems.
LOAD-RESTRAINING NET
Handily concealed in its own springloaded cartridge when not in use, the
vertical load-restraining net can be fixed
either behind the rear seat or directly
behind the front seats when the rear
seat is folded down. Helps prevent
luggage from being thrown forward
into the passenger area during transit.
RETRACTABLE TOW BAR
The optional, retractable tow bar is
mounted out of sight under the rear
bumper to maintain the vehicle’s clean
lines and reduce the likelihood of
damage when not in use. It’s released
from its stored position via a lever
located in the luggage area. Estate
models only*.
UNDERFLOOR STORAGE
Vectra estate utilises every spare inch of
space, with an underfloor storage area
that’s perfect for carrying items out of
sight and away from the luggage area.
POWER TAILGATE
The tailgate can be opened and closed
automatically using either the remote
control key fob or a button located on the
inner tailgate and may be stopped in any
position. An obstruction-sensing safety
mechanism helps prevent accidents.
For availability details of these estate specific features –
please refer to the Specification insert.
* Please note a separate electrical adaptor (13 pin to
7 pin) is required – available as an accessory at extra cost.
This adaptor does not allow for supplementary trailer
power requirements.

ORTHOPAEDIC SEATS
A multi-contour driver’s seat – complete
with variable seat climate – is optional at
extra cost on Design and Elite. Perfect for
drivers covering long distances, it has
been endorsed by a major European
orthopaedic institution for the high level
of support and comfort it provides.
The multi-contour driver’s seat also adds
the eight-way electrical adjustment for
both front seats together with a memory
function for the driver’s seat.
SPORTS-STYLE SEATS
SXi, SRi and GSi models feature figurehugging, sports-style front seats for
added lateral support when driving.

about average fuel consumption, range
based on fuel remaining… and a lot more
besides! There’s also a handy check
control facility that keeps an eye on oil

anchorage for accessory restraining straps
or a load-restraining floor net.
7
FOLD-FLAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
The front seat back lowers fully forward
on to the seat cushion, doubling as a
work surface. Also makes it easy to carry
a longer-than-average item of luggage,
inserted through the rear end of the car.
Optional at extra cost on Design and Elite
(estate models only).
REAR PASSENGER COMFORTS
A lidded storage compartment in the rear
seat centre armrest and – on Design, Elite
and GSi models – twin drinks holders built
into the rear seat cushion ensure rear

AIR-CONDITIONING
Air-conditioning system means plenty

demisting on damp days – plus a safer,
fresher travelling environment all
year round!
CRUISE CONTROL
Provides improved driving comfort on
long journeys and helps you stay safely
inside the prevailing speed limit.

FRONT AND REAR PARKING
DISTANCE SENSORS
Optional system helps safeguard your car
– and pedestrians. Sensors provide an
audible warning when an object is sensed
in front of – or behind – the vehicle.
ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING
Advanced new xenon lighting system
ensures that the headlight beams are
always aimed in the direction you’re about
to go – and not necessarily the direction
the front of the car is already pointing in!
RETRACTABLE REAR SIDE
WINDOW SUNBLINDS
Twin sunblinds provide welcome shade
on sunny days – a particularly handy
feature when children are on board.
RAIN-SENSITIVE WINDSCREEN WIPERS
Activated by a Light Emitting Diode (LED)/
photodiode-based system concealed in
the rear-view mirror. Wipers switch on
automatically when they sense rain on
the screen.
DIPPING PASSENGER DOOR MIRROR
Mirror tilts downwards when reverse
gear is engaged, allowing you to see the
kerb and any obstacles that may be in the
way of the car. Particularly useful when

2.2i 16v DIRECT PETROL UNIT
A high-tech development of the unit
found in sporty models like Astra
Coupé, Vauxhall’s first direct injection
petrol engine offers commendable
fuel economy combined with excellent
flexibility and refinement. Now available
across all bodystyles.
ACTIVE SELECT
Vectra’s optional five-speed automatic
transmission features an Active Select
facility, which enables drivers to switch
from automatic to manual sequential
mode using a second transmission gate.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
The system has been shown to help
reduce stopping distances, particularly
on slippery surfaces. By preventing the
wheels from locking up, it also allows
you to retain control of the steering
during emergency braking.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME
(ESP-PLUS)
Senses when the vehicle is about to slide
on a bend and applies braking on up to
three wheels, correcting the slide and
helping you regain control more rapidly.
CORNERING BRAKE CONTROL (CBC)
Makes the car easier to control in
extreme situations, especially when
braking sharply on a bend. Particularly
effective when carrying out emergency
manoeuvres.
ELECTRONIC BRAKEFORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Works in conjunction with the ABS system
to distribute the applied braking force
between the wheels most able to use it.
This allows the car to brake in a stable
manner, whatever load you’re carrying.
ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWERASSISTED STEERING (EHPS)
Light and easy when parking, smooth and
precise at motorway speeds. Response
quickens during rapid lane changes to
assist safety. Lack of ‘over-assistance’
enhances driver feedback.
EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
Detects the urgency with which the brake
pedal is pressed and rapidly increases the
pressure to the maximum the system can
provide, shortening potential stopping
distances. Also enhances pedal feel.
FLEXIBLE SERVICE INTERVALS
Oil Life Monitoring technology calculates
the optimum interval for the next service,
based on distance travelled, engine
speed, coolant temperature etc. Intervals
can be up to 20,000 miles/2 years for
petrol engines and 30,000 miles/2 years
for diesels, depending on how the car
is driven.
ADVANCED DIESEL LINE-UP
Vectra’s new 120PS 1.9CDTi and 150PS 1.9CDTi 16v common
rail diesel engines are the latest units to emerge from the
industry-leading partnership between GM Powertrain and
Fiat, and offer strong performance allied to smooth power
delivery and rigorous emissions control. The 8-valve 120PS
unit replaces our existing 2.2DTi 16v engine (save for
automatic variants, which remain in the line-up until the
introduction of 150PS automatic models for Model Year 2005);
the 16-valve 150PS version is particularly powerful for a
model in this class. The new units join the dependable 2.0DTi
16v and refined 3.0CDTi V6 24v – our first common rail V6
diesel engine – in a commanding, five-strong diesel line-up.
CONTROL, PERFORMANCE AND A
FEELING OF INVOLVEMENT ARE THE
ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS OF ANY GOOD
DRIVER’S CAR. FROM POWERFUL AND
REFINED ENGINES – INCLUDING A PAIR OF
SOPHISTICATED NEW EURO 4 COMPLIANT
COMMON RAIL DIESEL UNITS – TO THE
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THAT LIES
BEHIND THE CAR’S INTERACTIVE DRIVING
SYSTEM, VECTRA PUTS DRIVERS VERY
MUCH AT THE CENTRE OF PROCEEDINGS.
EURO 4 COMPLIANCE
All Vectra petrol engines and the new 120PS 1.9CDTi and
150PS 1.9CDTi 16v common rail diesel units meet the stringent
Euro 4 emissions regulations. In the case of the diesel models,
this means they escape the usual 3% surcharge on diesels
when calculating company car tax.
For availability details of these features – please refer
to the Specification insert.

ACTIVE-SAFETY FRONT SEAT
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Activated by the force of the occupant’s
body being forced back into the seat, the
restraint moves forwards and upright in
the event of a rear impact, helping to
reduce whiplash injuries.
ISOFIX CHILD SEAT
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This rigid anchoring mechanism, fitted to
the outer rear seats, virtually eliminates
the dangers that can result from improper
installation when used with a special child
safety seat.
DOOR-TO-DOOR ILLUMINATION
Flick the main beam headlight stalk and
the dipped headlights and reversing lights
stay on for 30 seconds, giving you time
to make your way from the vehicle in an
unlit driveway or car park.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT COVER
A fully retractable luggage cover, which
slides smoothly across the luggage area,
keeps valuable equipment out of sight on
estate models. Hatchback versions have a
hinged cover which rises with the tailgate.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE
DEADLOCK IMMOBILISER
Activated automatically when the
transponder-equipped key is removed
from the ignition and deactivated when
the key is reinserted. If the correct key
and signal aren’t sensed the car can’t
be started!
OPTIONAL AUTOMATIC FRONT SEAT
OCCUPANCY DETECTION
Senses when the front passenger seat is
unoccupied and prevents airbags on that
side from inflating. Will also communicate
with a transponder-equipped Vauxhall
accessory baby seat (when fitted).
Occupancy detection option includes
ISOFIX fitting for front passenger seat.
PATENTED PEDAL RELEASE SYSTEM
The clutch and brake pedals are designed
to decouple from their fixed positions in
a serious frontal impact to avoid them
impacting with the driver’s legs and feet.
REMOTE CENTRAL DEADLOCKING
As well as locking/unlocking the doors,
tailgate/boot lid and fuel flap, the system
can be used to set the alarm and close any
electric windows (or the sunroof) that
have been left open.

ALLOY WHEEL
PERSONALISATION PROGRAMME
Complement the individual looks of your model with our new
Alloy Wheel Personalisation Programme. Our distinctive
choice of replacement alloy wheels – comprising stylish
multi-spoke or 11-spoke 18-inch versions, plus a striking
five-spoke, 19-inch design* – add extra presence to any
Vectra model.

*19-inch wheel design not available on 3.0 CDTi models or Expression, LS or
Club models. In addition, the 19-inch wheel option will increase the CO2 levels
and fuel consumption. This may have an adverse effect on the VED band
and/or Benefit in Kind taxation. See page S.12 for details of fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions.
