Meriva B 2010-
The second generation Opel Meriva B is monocab or Compact MPV.
The Meriva B appeared in 2010 as the replacemnt for the Meriva A. The new model is 4,288mm in length, up from the 4,052mm of the old version which was based on the Corsa. The new model uses revised suspension layout from the former version but with a floorpan associated with the Opel seven seat Zafira Tourer MPV.
Inside the design and layout of the controls, instruments and overall the higher quality reflects the theme offered by the new Astra and Insignia ranges.
The bigger sibling Opel Zafira Tourer that debuted at the 2011 is in the same shape and look like Meriva B.
The new Meriva has adopted a more expressive and dynamic silhouette to its basic cab-forward MPV design. Like the Insignia and Astra, a ‘blade’ features down the side of the body, complementing a window line with a distinct ‘wave’ accentuating the FlexDoors, allowing panoramic views for rear passengers.
