Key Information, Trim Levels and Engines

Vauxhall are pleased to announce details of the New Meriva which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. The New Meriva is set to turn the conventional concept of family car usability on its head, with dynamic styling, premium quality, unique first in segment rear hinged "FlexDoors" and a raft of clever features that are set to further boost Meriva's versatility and practicality.

With premium styling cues taken from the interior and exterior of our latest models the New Meriva will also feature Vauxhall's signature lighting, wrap around "wing" dash and side body blade sculpture. A distinctive "wave" in the rear window line has been created which accentuates the FlexDoors and also offers panoramic views for rear passengers. As well as the dynamic styling, New Meriva's dimensions have evolved, now 235mm longer, 118mm wider and with a reduced ride height of 8mm, New Meriva can longer be referred to as a small monocab. The vehicle is now positioned in the heart of the compact monocab segment. This size increase combined with a longer wheelbase, wider front and rear tracks have helped enhanced the overall ride and handling qualities to odder an even greater drive.

Flexibility

New Meriva offers increased practicality and versatility over the outgoing model. Flexibility is the key; with 32 separate storage solutions ranging from an ample glove box which has a space saving shelf for the owners manual, as well as coins and pens. There's also a mini glove box on the drivers side, while the front door pockets can carry drinks bottles of up to 1.5 litres and up to 1.0 litre bottles in the rear. In the luggage area, the FlexFloor can be set to bumper height for ease of loading whilst at the same time offers under floor stowage with further storage compartments provided in the luggage area sidewalls.

The Flexibility message does not end here, Vauxhall have developed some unique and first in segment features for the New Meriva as well as enhancing some of our current solutions to accomodate a variety of family transport needs. FlexDoors, FlexSpace and FlexRail are critial features

Flexibility: FlexDoors

A unique first-in-segment feature that offers the compete "WOW" factor. FlexDoors are rear-hinged back doors which swing open towards the back of the car at an angle of nearly 90 degress, vastly improving the ease with which occupants enter and leave the cabin. Rather than having to step back, or to one side, as you would using a conventional front-hinged door, the FlexDoors allow unimpeded forward entry / edit to and from the cabin. For parents with small children there are further benefits. Due to the larger door opening and free space around the B-Pillar, parents can lift small children forwards in to rear-mounted, second-stage child seats without having to contort themselves around a door. And with both the front and rear doors open (the fronts open at a similar angle to the rear FlexDoors)  a 'parent friendly' zone is created with no door barrier between front and rear occupants.

Another feature of the FlexDoors is the sculptured "wave line", the wave line on the rear doors compliments the overall design of the New Meriva and offers improved passenger visibility in the rear, specially for small children.

It's worth noting that the New Meriva's FlexDoors have array of safety features built into the vehicle. For example, at speeds of above 2mph, the doors automatically lock and a proximity sensor housed within the rear doors also stops the occupants from opening the doors above this speed.

Flexbility: FlexSpace

The much praised FlexSpace seating system which was introduced on the current Meriva has been significantly enhanced for out latest model. The FlexSpace system offers a range of cabin configurations without having to remove any of the seats. Now it is more intuitive to use, a new one step action allows for easier fold down of the rear seats, while moving the rear seats to create more boot, leg or shoulder room is simpler than ever.

While FlexSpace makes it easier to convert the Meriva from five seats to two, both the outer rear seats can be folded or moved forward and back individually, and when the centre seat is folded also slide inwards to provide more shoulder with and led room in a spacious four seat layout. With the rear seatbacks up, the Meriva's has 400 litres of luggage capacity, increasing to 920 litres with the seatbacks folded. But use all the space up to the rood and a impressive 1500 litre capacity is available.

Flexibility: FlexRail

A totally new concept in storage, New Meriva's unique FlexRail system provides convenient and adaptable storage for a wide range of everyday items, from drinks bottles and bags to colouring books and MP3 players.

Space for the FlexRail between the front seats has been liberated by raising the gearshift location and replacing the traditional handbrake with an easy to use electronic park brake button (standard on all models). The result is an uninterrupted storage zone that extends rearward from the base of the centre console and is accessible from the rear seats.

The base floor module which is standard on the S, Exclusiv, and SE trims compromises of two cup holders, a 12-volt power socket, Aux-in and USB connection. The Exclusiv trim gains twin polished aluminium rails with a sliding cup holder and the range topping SE model further features a sliding storage box with armrest.

The removable sliding cup holder and storage box with arm rest can be positioned at varying posts along the aluminium rails to accommodate a variety of storage needs.

Powertrains and Emissions

A new Euro V power train line up will feature in the New Meriva portfolio with power outputs ranging from 75PS to 140PS. Small capacity turbo engines are key to offering high power whilst at the same time reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

The petrol engine line-up comprises of three 1.4 16v variants, thr range starts with Meriva's only normally aspirated engine which offers a power output of 100PS. This is complimented by two turbocharged 1.4 16v engines which produce 120 and 140PS respectively. The 1.4 100PS and the 1.4 120PS turbo will be mated to a five speed manual gearbox, whilst the 1.4 140PS turbo will have a 6 speed manual gearbox.

The turbocharged diesel line up starts with a 1.3 CDTi 75PS engine which offers increased low end torque compared with the outgoing model, a high powered low CO2 1.3 CDTi 95PS ecoFLEX variant will also be available. Two 1.7 CDTi 16v engines will also be available.

                        The interior of groundbreaking New Meriva revealed!

Vauxhall's first interior shots of its New Meriva reveal one of the most innovative and stylish cabins in the compact MPV class, and an initial glimpse of the access to the rear of the car offered by its clever and unique-in-class FlexDoors.

Described by Vauxhall/Opel British Vice President of Design, Mark Adams as "an expressive yet functional interior with great roominess and visibility", the Meriva's cabin is set to wow media and public when the car receives its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Combining a fresh interpretation of Vauxhall's interior wing theme, see in the Insignia and all-new Astra, the New Meriva's designers have lowered and moved the instrument panel forward, creating more space and comfort for front occupants. The New Meriva's commanding driving position has been improved, with narrower, realigned A-pillars and larger quarter-lights. In the rear, the lower 'wave' window line increases visibility for passengers, specially children.

 

FlexRail - transforming the conventional centre console

The New Meriva's unique FlexRail system provides convenient and adaptable storage for a wide range of everyday items, from handbags and colouring books to iPods and sunglasses.

Space for the FlexRail between the front seats has been liberated by raising the gearshift location and replacing the traditional handbrake with and easy to use electric park brake button (standard on all models). The result is an uninterrupted storage zone that extends rearward from the base of the centre stack and is accessible from the rear seats.

FlexRail's floor module comprises two cup holders, Aux-in/USB connections and a 12-volt socket. Above this area, on certain models, twin polished aluminium rails feature, and on the range-topping SE a flip-top armrest module is attached, with a smaller storage/cup holder tray sitting below it. Both can be shifted into a variety of fixed positions along the rails, while rear seat passengers benefit from the option of a rear armrest module, which can be fitted to the centre seat back section when its folded down between them.

 

FlexSpace rear seating system - more intuitive than ever before

The New Meriva's innovative FlexSpace system offers a range of cabin configurations without having to remove any seats, and is now improved with a one-step action when sliding the rear seat cushions or when lowering the rear seatbacks.

When FlexSpace makes it easy for owners to convert the New Meriva from give seats to two, both its outer rear seats can be moved fore and aft individually, and also slide inwards to provide more shoulder with and leg room in a spacious four-seat layout. Additionally, rear seat backs can be fully lowered without having to remove their head restraints.

Rear seatbacks up, the New Meriva's boot has a 400-litre capacity, increasing to 920-litres with the seatbacks folded. But use all the space up the the rood and an impressive 1500-litres capacity is available.

 

Clever storage where it matters

Taking a leaf out of the new Astra's book, Vauxhall's designers have created real-world storage solutions for 20 of the most popular items owners carry in their cars.

An ample glovebox has a space-saving shelf for the owners manual, as well as coins and pens. Elsewhere, there's a mini glovebox on the driver side, while door pockets can carry drinks bottles of up to 1.5-litre capacity in the front and up to 1.0-litre in the rear. Above the driver door, there's a flip-down compartment for sunglasses, and on certain models a pull-out draw is available beneath the front passenger seat, suitable for books or valuable items.

In the luggage area, the floor can be set to bumper height for ease of loading and under-floor stowage, while storage compartments are provided in the boot sidewalls. The New Meriva's parcel shelf can be removed and stowed neatly away behind the rear seats.

                    Welcome to the first official pictures of Vauxhall's new Meriva!

These are the first official pictures of Vauxhall's new Meriva, which is set to turn the conventional concept of a family-car usability on it's head with a combination of clever, rear-hinged back doors which radially improve access/egress plus a raft of a unique cabin features that boost interior versatility.

The new Meriva, which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, is the first Vauxhall to feature FlexDoors, showcased on the 2008 Meriva design concept.

FlexDoors are rear-hinged back doors which swing open towards the back of the car at an angle or nearly 90 degrees, vastly improving the ease with which occupants enter and leave the cabin. Rather than having to step back, or to one side, as one would using a normal front-hinged door, the FlexDoor allows unimpeded forward access/egress to and from the cabin, enhanced further by the Meriva's exceptionally high roof line.

For parents which children, there are further benefits. Due to the larger door opening and free space around the B-pillar, parents can lift small children forwards tin to rear-mounted, second-stage child seats without having to contort themselves around a door. And with both the front and rear doors open (the fronts open at a similar angle to the rear FlexDoors) a 'parent-friendly' zone is created with no door barrier between front and rear occupants.

Crucially, the FlexDoors can only be opened by occupants while the car is stationary, an automatic lock engaging as soon as the car pulls away.

While the concept of two rear-hinged back doors is not new in the motor industry, the Meriva's FlexDoor system is the first time it has been used on a family car in recent years. But unlike other rear-hinged door applicants (Rolls Royce Phantom/Ghost and Mazda RX8) the Meriva benefits from front and rear doors that open independently, and does not require rear passengers to sit behind the door opening.

 

                                                Class-leading in-cabin flexibility

Once inside the new Meriva, buyers benefit from two further groundbreaking innovations. The FlexRail adopts a completely fresh approach to the design of a cars centre console, and provides owners with a variety of modular storage and comfort solutions that fix on to an ingenious dual-rail base. The new Meriva's storage bin and cubby count has also increased, meaning owners now benefit from one of the most practical cabins in class.

In addition, the current Meriva's much-praised FlexSpace system has evolved with even greater practicality. Now more intuitive to use. the new Meriva's FlexSpace allows easier fold-down of the rear seats, while moving the rear seats to create more boot, leg or shoulder room is simpler than ever.

The new Meriva's seat comfort has also advanced, with the adoption of front seat technology from the Insignia and all-new Astra. Like these cars, the Meriva offers the biggest range of seat adjustment in class, extending to 240mm in length and 65mm in height.

 

              New Meriva adopts design language from Insignia and all-new Astra

The current Meriva effectively created the compact monocab sector when it was launched in 2003, but since then Vauxhall's design language has evolved steadily, with big strides being made with the European Car of Year-winning Insignia and more recently with the launch of the all-new Astra.

No surprise, then, that the new Meriva has adopted a more expressive and dynamic silhouette to it's basic cab-forward monocab design. Like the Insignia and all-new Astra, a 'blade' features down the side of the body, complimenting a window line wiuth a distrinct 'wave' accentuating the FlexDoors, allowing  panoramic views for rear passengers.

 

                               Advanced chassis and more efficient powertrains

With a longer wheelbase and wide front and rear tracks, buyers will see a marked improvement in the new Meriva's ride and handling qualities.

They'll also see a reduction in running costs, since the engine line up - which features six turbocharged units and power outputs from 75PS to 140PS - benefits from an average fuel consumption/CO2 reduction of 15%, or -25g/km across the range. A high mpg/low CO2 ecoFLEX model will also be available.
