New Opel Meriva available in South Africa

Opel fans can happily applaud the arrival of the all new Opel Meriva to South Africa. Combining elements of flexibility and practicality, the new Opel Meriva makes a bold statement in the Multi Purpose Vehicle segment, building on the success of the previous model.

Space and practicality define vehicles in this particular segment and the 5-seater Opel Meriva has hit the nail on the head. Access to the cabin is made easy with the innovative FlexDoors, a rear hinge rear door system that dramatically increases access with the doors opening to 84 degrees. The seating arrangement in the cabin can also be easily changed with the help of the Meriva’s FlexSpace technology. The Meriva also features more storage space with up to 32, easy access storage compartments. Furthermore, the interior boasts superb styling that oozes with class and elegance.

The new Opel Meriva has a 15mm longer wheelbase, 39mm wider front and 45mm wider rear tracks, all contributing to a significantly smoother ride. The engine room is powered by 1.4 litre turbo-charged petrol engine with a max power output of 103 kW coupled with a six-speed manual transmission gearbox. The Meriva sprints to 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds reaching a top speed of 197 km/h. Fuel consumption for the Meriva sits at 6.7 litres/100km.  

The Opel Meriva is available in two models, the Enjoy and the Cosmos. The big advantage of the Opel Meriva is the affordability factor with The Enjoy going for R 234 000 and the Cosmos selling at R 254 000, a nice price for a nice car.
