First Sketch Up Date: Opel/Vauxhall Meriva


Ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Meriva has been revealed!This is the most detailed official sketch yet of the car that Vauxhall hopes will draw younger buyers to its baby people mover. The newcomer’s shape has been heavily influenced by the Flextreme concept, which debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September.With suspension borrowed from the Corsa, the model will offer excellent agility and plenty of driver appeal. The newcomer will also use the super-mini’s engines, including 1.3-litre and 1.7-litre CDTI diesels and a 1.6-litre turbo petrol. All units will have stop-start technology to help to improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions.Sales of the new Meriva are scheduled to kick off in early 2009.
