LOVE THE STYLE The Meriva certainly gives you plenty to catch the eye with the new front grille, bumper and headlight design underlining the car’s confident, can-do character. From the side, the ‘wave- design’ rear windows add a touch of style together with a new rear light design.

SPACE TO LIVE Inside the Meriva is a great place to be. Up front the driver’s seat holds you comfortably in a high sitting position as you take in a better view of the road ahead and the ergonomically designed facia layout. And in the back there’s room to spare. Wherever you sit you’re surrounded by high quality materials in colours that are designed, like everything else here, to work well together.

GENIUS OR JUST COMMON SENSE We made the Meriva a car that’s not just easier to live with – it makes life easier. We added rear-hinged FlexDoors ® , that open far wider than normal, to make it easier to get in and out of the back seat and safer for everyone at the roadside.

STAY CONNECTED ON THE MOVE The infotainment system in the Meriva is there to help. Not get in the way or take over. And it’s so easy to use, whether it’s the standard radio and CD player with aux-in or any of the other options available.

PERFORMANCE MEANS ECONOMY It may be perfect for family life but the Meriva is great to drive too. With confident balance and lively, efficient multi- valve petrol, turbo-powered and ultra-efficient diesel engines that are all as good at saving fuel as they are at performing on the road.

PROTECT WHAT’S IMPORTANT We’ve done everything possible to protect you, your Meriva and other road users. That’s why we offer a series of sophisticated safety features and options. There’s Adaptive Forward Lighting to make cornering at night safer, front and rear parking distance sensors for those tight parking situations, active-safety front seat head restraints to minimise the risk of whiplash and up to six airbags.
Page 17
SIT BACK AND RELAX Simple solutions to sort out those everyday family transport dilemmas are what it’s all about. That’s why every Meriva includes FlexSpace ® as standard, a simple way to go from five seats to four, three or two instantly to meet your needs. Then we added Flex Floor, our two-position, adjustable luggage compartment floor that can be lowered to give you more load height and volume.
POWER WITH A SENSE Compromise is a thing of the past with our range of engines. They manage to combine comparatively low fuel consumption and emissions with brisk performance so you can have it all. The Meriva engine line-up consists of a 1.4 litre petrol engine and three diesels – including a brand OF RESPONSIBILITY new 1.6CDTi that is not only designed to be both fuel efficient with low CO emissions but...

The Meriva’s 1.4i 16v VVT (100PS) engine features Variable Valve Timing technology for high fuel economy and CO emissions of just 116g/km. This new ecoFLEX engine also features Start/Stop economy and performance. Meriva’s three turbocharged diesel engines feature fuel-injection technology as standard. Saving even more fuel by automatically stopping the engine when you and common rail diesel technology, which cuts emissions, reduces noise and lowers fuel come to a standstill and restarting when you want to move off.
CONNECTS WITH YOUR LIFE You don’t need a degree in technology to get the most out of the Meriva’s infotainment options. Whether you’re syncing a smartphone, finding the quickest way to a new place or just listening to music on an MP3 player, it’s easy. The choice is yours.

SAFER ALL OVER Like every new Opel, the Meriva comes with advanced safety features. From the optional Adaptive Forward Lighting system that automatically adjusts the headlights when you’re cornering at night, to active head restraints that help prevent whiplash in the event of a rear impact.
Page 23
1. Adaptive Forward Lighting. This option makes cornering at night safer with dynamic curve light that actually angles your headlights into the bend you’re entering. While the static cornering light throws light up to 90° to the left or right so you can see better at low speed corners and junctions.
DESIGNED TO TAKE THE STRAIN We designed the Meriva to be easy on you. From the easy-access FlexDoors ® , Flex-Fix ® slide-out bicycle carrier system or FlexSpace versatile seating system. In fact, its ® all-round ergonomic concept was the first to receive certification from Germany’s prestigious AGR* organisation, in recognition of its capacity to reduce the strain on your back.

IT ALL SITS TOGETHER COMFORTABLY There’s no one thing that makes the Meriva so comfortable and easy to live with. It’s a combination of features and technologies large and small. We wanted to make every journey you take a pleasure and for you and your passengers to get there feeling refreshed, no matter how long the journey.
