OPELMeriva 2014 - 2017

　　Opel introduced the second generation of the Meriva in 2010 and it had to upgrade it in 2014 to meet the Euro 6 emission standards, which became mandatory in September same year.

　　Based on an extended platorm of the Corsa, the small-sized MPV proved that it could be a real alternative for larger family vehicles. In addition, the facelifted version of the Meriva boasted an elegant look and fuel efficient engines. Last but not least, the car's interior was vast, suitable for up to five passengers inside.

　　Along with the facelifted version, the 2014 Meriva came with an improved front fascia. Its redesigned headlights included LED daytime running lights. In addition, the grille lost the upper, fat, chromed slat and gained a slimmer one that looked more elegant. To ease ingress and egress to the car, the MPV sported rear-hinged rear doors, while the front ones were regular. Finally, at the back, it sported crisp-looking LED taillights.

　　Inside, the rear passengers could get in and out easier than in the vehicles with normal opening doors, and, on top of that, the car featured a grab handle on the B-pillar to help. Another advantage of the rear-hinged doors is the easy fitting of a child seat in the back and also strapping the safety belt on it. For the top version, the Meriva came equipped with a glass ceiling.

　　The new engine range featured three power versions for the 1.4-liter gasoline unit and a 1.6-liter turbocharged diesel with three versions for power. The standard transmission was a five- or six-speed manual, depending on the engine, while a 6-speed automatic was available at extra cost.
