Embrace New Meriva.

Say hello to New Meriva. Our stylish new family car, with
clever new doors and flexible seating, smart storage and
rear seat access like you’ve never experienced before.

Enjoy the journey.

New Meriva may be perfect for family life. But it’s
also great to drive, with reassuring balance, strong
safety features and lively, efficient new multi-valve
turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.

Feel the difference.

Whatever’s happening all around you, New Meriva
helps you focus on the road ahead. Smart ergonomics
put the instruments, controls and displays in all the
right places. And hugely adjustable seats make it
easy to find the perfect driving position.

Your comfort zone.

New Meriva has more interior flexibility and comfort
than ever before – and more intelligent features too.
There’s high quality materials, a real contemporary
feel and generous light and space.

Think spontaneous.

With outer rear seats that move forwards,
backwards – even diagonally – and a 40/20/40
split-folding rear seat back, New Meriva
welcomes everyone with space for up to five
people plus luggage or bulky items. Family life
solved – even when plans change.

13

Organise your life.

New Meriva is packed with places to keep your belongings with up
to 32 practical storage solutions. FlexRail® is our even smarter new
centre console system. Think modular. Think sliding drinks holder
or phone tray. Think centre armrest with really useful storage for
front seat passengers. Now rearrange it and think again.

Love the look.

New Meriva gives you plenty to catch the eye. Not just with
sharp sculpted lines, new ‘wave-design’ rear windows and
more than a touch of style, but how it packs so much
versatility into such a great shape.

Protect our future.

Embracing life means taking responsibility for it too. That’s why Vauxhall has always been
at the forefront of green automotive initiatives. We are always looking to reduce vehicle

emissions and our ecoFLEX models like the New Meriva 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) have
among the lowest emissions in their class. Most recently, we have been researching ways
of developing new cars that are more efficient than ever before. The forthcoming Vauxhall
Ampera* is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 50 miles on
battery power alone and over 300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system.

But our commitment to preserving the environment goes even further. We have
dramatically reduced manufacturing emissions, for example, and our new vehicles
use more recycled materials and more recyclable parts than ever before.

We also offer free and easily accessible, environmentally friendly, end-of-life vehicle
disposal through our partners Autogreen Ltd.

That way, we reduce our environmental impact in every phase of every Vauxhall vehicle’s
life cycle. We all share the same world. Let’s embrace it.
