Embrace Meriva. Say hello to Meriva. Our stylish family car, with clever new doors and flexible seating, smart storage and rear seat access like you’ve never experienced before.
Enjoy the journey. Meriva may be perfect for family life. But it’s also great to drive, with reassuring balance, strong safety features and lively, efficient multi-valve turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.
Feel the difference. Whatever’s happening all around you, 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. 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, Meriva welcomes everyone with space for up to five people plus luggage or bulky items. Family life solved – even when plans change.
Organise your life. 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. SE model illustrated.
Love the look. Meriva gives you plenty to catch the eye. Not just with sharp sculpted lines, ‘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 CO2 emissions and our ecoFLEX models like the Meriva 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) have among the lowest emissions in their class. And the introduction of our new Start/Stop models, producing as low as 109g/km of CO2, further underlines our commitment to the environment.
Leaner, greener and great to drive, the Meriva engine line-up delivers brilliant performance with high levels of efficiency and Euro 5 compliant emissions. There are three 1.4 litre petrol engines and five diesels. The Meriva’s ecoFLEX diesel engine has been designed to save you money whilst not compromising performance. The benefit of improved fuel economy speaks for itself but lower CO2 emissions also mean Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) savings and lower company car taxation too.
Engines and transmissions
FlexDoors®. Meriva is packed with innovative thinking aimed at making life easier, more comfortable and more convenient, but our rear-hinged FlexDoors® tear up the family car rulebook to bring real benefits in so many areas. Easy access. FlexDoors® open independently of the front doors, and far wider than normal, so it’s much easier to get in and out of the car, wherever you sit. Easier on your back. FlexDoors® are far kinder on your back too.
FlexDoors® FlexDoors®. Not just clever, but altogether safer and ergonomically efficient, Meriva’s rear doors open the other way. So it’s easier for everyone to get in and out – with improved roadside safety. And simpler to ensure the kids are seated safe and secure.
FlexSpace®. How many seats do you need today? Five? Four? Three? Just two? In Meriva, the choice is yours. The outer rear seats can be individually moved backwards, forwards and diagonally inwards or all three can be folded flat for more luggage space. So you get superb levels of versatility – without ever having to remove a seat.
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 Meriva from five seats to four.
Integrated safety systems. Meriva has a rigid central safety cell, designed for maximum protection, plus availability of the latest passenger restraint technology – airbags, seatbelt systems and active-safety front seat head restraints. The chassis is also packed with active-safety features, specially enhanced to help you keep control in all driving situations. Child safety. All Meriva models feature pre-fitted ISOFIX mountings on the outer rear seats.
Safety
Comfort class. Look inside. And out! Meriva is designed to keep you comfortable, however long the journey ahead. And the large windscreen, ‘wave-design’ rear window line and huge panoramic glass roof* all ensure a great view for both front and rear seat passengers. 1 *Standard on SE models. Ergonomic sports seat. Are you sitting comfortably? If not, your driving could be as badly affected as your posture.
Comfort and convenience
Flex Floor. Our two-position, adjustable luggage compartment floor is standard on all models. When lowered, it maximises rear load height and volume. In the upper position, it’s flush with the folded rear seats and the rear sill, providing a flat loadspace area with easy loading – plus a useful 86 litres of loadspace under the Flex Floor. Up to 32 storage possibilities. All of them accessible, flexible and usefully sized storage spaces.
Comfort and convenience

In addition to route planning criteria such as ‘shortest distance’ or ‘avoiding toll roads’, you can now select an energy-optimised ‘green route’. Here you can specify parameters such as if you are towing a caravan or have a roof box fitted. The system will use this information, in conjunction with known factors including your vehicle’s weight and engine type, to calculate the most fuelefficient route.
