transport need, however unexpected. New Meriva is a comfortable five-seater,
with ample leg and shoulder room for three rear seat passengers – each with
a lap and diagonal seatbelt. It's also a generous four-seater with extra leg and
shoulder room, a versatile three-seater and a two-seater with acres of
luggage space.
Five seats.
In five-seat mode, the outer rear seats move forward individually by up to 140mm.
This not only creates extra luggage space but also ensures that it's easier to
reach over to the kids in the rear seats. On SE models it even brings rear seat
passengers closer to the folding trays – yet another child-friendly feature.
Four seats.
It's easy to convert New Meriva from five seats to four. With the middle seat
back folded, the outer rear seats can be moved diagonally – back and inwards
in one automatic sliding action – creating extra leg and shoulder room for
maximum comfort.
Three seats or two.
New Meriva offers generous luggage space – as much as 1496 litres maximum,
and 397 litres even in the five-seater configuration. But as you would expect,
it's the flexibility that really counts. With its 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat, you
can fold either side flat for people and luggage in various combinations. Or fold
just the centre seat flat creating a practical load-through space for longer items.
Best of all, New Meriva's rear seats can now be released and folded flat with a
single, one-touch operation – from the rear seat or luggage area – so you can
switch effortlessly from three to two to one in seconds, without removing any
seats from the car.
