New generation Meriva arrives

Opel's new generation Meriva has now arrived in Ireland, with prices starting at €19,995.

The small MAV has three trim levels - S, SC and SE - and all variants come with ESP as standard and a full range of airbags as part of the specification.

Powertrains include 1.4 petrols, two turbocharged, as well as 1.3 and 1.7 diesels. Tax bands range B-D.

A unique feature is the backward-opening rear side doors, which make getting in and out of the back much easier. A comprehensive range of storage innovations include a front sliding centre storage module.

Top price for the launch range is €26,945.
