The Opel Meriva B is a compact van built by the German car manufacturer Opel in Figueruelas (Spain) . In contrast to its predecessor ( Opel Meriva A ), it is not based on a Corsa platform; Instead, components from Astra H and Zafira B were used. In the UK it was sold as the Vauxhall Meriva.

The market launch took place on June 12, 2010 at a base price of 15,900 euros. In summer 2017, the Opel Crossland X replaced the Meriva.

According to TÜV statistics, the Meriva B was recognized as having the fewest defects in the category of two and three-year-old vehicles in 2014.

The Meriva B continues the design line and form language of the Insignia and Astra J models .

Compared to its predecessor , which was still based on the Opel Corsa C , the second generation of the Meriva was significantly longer and wider, but slightly flatter. The curb weight increased only slightly despite the larger dimensions. The portal doors (while retaining the B-pillar ) are a special feature. The rear doors are locked at speeds above 4 km / h to prevent them from opening against the wind. All side doors open at 84 ° wider than the usual 70 °, with a total of three locking points.

The design in the interior is also based on the Insignia and Astra J. In contrast to the Meriva A, many foamed and higher-quality plastics were used in the interior.

The Meriva B offers significantly more legroom in the rear than the Meriva A. Two child seats can be attached to the rear bench . The two outer rear seats have Isofix brackets. With the predecessor, just under three child seats fit on the back seat. The trunk volume up to the lower edge of the window increased from 330 to 355 l compared to the predecessor, or from 690 to 825 l with the rear seat folded down.

Facelift

The revised Meriva appeared at the end of January 2014 after it had previously been presented at the IAA in September 2013.

It received redesigned bumpers, a redesigned radiator grille and a modified light design with LED taillights. On the technical side, a new 1.6-liter diesel engine with an output of 100 kW (136 hp) and a six-speed automatic transmission were available. In March 2014, two more variants of the 1.6 CDTI followed with 70 kW (95 PS) and 81 kW (110 PS).

Accessed on September 27, 2013: “The doors can each be opened at an angle of 84 degrees. In between, the door locks in three positions. If the front and rear doors are opened together, a safety zone is created in which the child and parents can get out without being separated by a door. This minimizes the risk of a child running into the flowing traffic. If the Meriva starts rolling, the rear doors are locked from 4 km / h. "
