The Vauxhall Meriva, particularly in its second generation, innovated in the compact MPV segment with its unique rear-hinged FlexDoors. Its focus on accessibility and flexible interior space made it popular with families and older buyers.
Engine choices included 1.4-litre petrol units in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms, while the 1.3 and 1.6 CDTi diesel engines offered excellent economy. Manual transmissions were most common, though automatic options were available on some variants.
Trim levels progressed from Life and Club through Design and Tech Line to SE specifications. Higher grades featured the FlexRail center console system and enhanced comfort features. The FlexSpace rear seating system was standard across the range.
When inspecting a used Meriva, verify all door mechanisms function correctly and check the operation of all seating adjustments. Regular service history is particularly important for diesel variants.
