The Meriva is baring all! Our spies have captured the best shots yet of Vauxhall's compact MPV - the car that's doing everything it can to stand out from the competition.
With rear-hinged doors for easier access to the interior and a versatile 'FlexSpace' seating arrangement it ticks all the boxes for practicality. There’s also a distinctive kink along the shoulder line and a black-surround to the rear windscreen.
The upright, boxy design of the original Meriva has been replaced by a sleeker, more appealing exterior placing it as a competitor to more premium models such as the MINI Clubman.
Power will likely come from a range of engines that mirror those available in the new Astra. This means we can expect to see a naturally aspirated 1.4-litre engine as well as a turbo-charged 1.4-litre which produces 140hp.
As for the oil burners there will be four engines on offer, ranging from 95 to 160hp. All units will have stop-start technology to help to improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions.
The new Meriva will be officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year. For more details click here.
