2005 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2005, the Meriva arrived in a segment where the Fiat Idea and Renault Modus were already carving out space for flexible small cars. Opel's answer combined a 1.4-litre petrol engine good for 94 hp with sliding rear doors that gave it a distinct identity. Against rivals that offered either practicality or driving engagement, the Meriva promised both—at a price point that made
2006 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2006, the Meriva had staked its claim as the nimble alternative to the Scénic's family-van heaviness and the Jazz's tight cabin. Buyers who wanted MPV practicality without sacrificing steering feedback found it here: the 1.6-litre petrol unit delivered 100 horsepower with surprising responsiveness, while the 1.7-litre diesel option offered 75 hp for longer-distance economy.
2007 Opel Meriva Brochure
When the second-generation Meriva arrived in 2007, it faced stiff competition from the Renault Modus and Citroën C3 Picasso in the compact MPV segment. The 1.6-litre petrol unit produced 100 horsepower, while a 1.7-litre diesel offered 110 horsepower for buyers prioritizing economy. Those innovative rear-hinged doors—the car's defining feature—proved decisive for families navig
2008 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2008, the Meriva faced stiffening competition from the Fiat 500 and Citroën C1, yet Opel's second-generation offering held ground with a wider interior and flexible seating.

The petrol engines ranged from a 1.4-litre with 100 hp to a turbocharged 1
2009 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2009, the Meriva had established itself as the affordable answer to families seeking flexible seating without the price tag of larger MPVs. The second-generation model arrived that year with a wider powertrain choice: buyers could opt for a 1.4-litre petrol unit producing 100 hp, a new 1.6-litre variant, or a 1.7-litre diesel. Sliding rear doors remained a defining feature i
2010 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2010, the Meriva's range stretched across three distinct powerplants: the 1.4-litre petrol in two outputs (100 and 140 hp), the frugal 1.3 CDTi diesel, and a 1.6 petrol good for 115 hp. Each engine fed either a five-speed manual or optional automatic, letting buyers balance budget against convenience in a segment where the compact MPV still held genuine appeal against rising
2011 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2011, Opel positioned the second-generation Meriva against a shifting compact family segment where buyers increasingly questioned the estate car's relevance. The 1.4-litre petrol engine producing 100 hp offered a sensible entry point, while the 1.3-litre diesel delivered the efficiency buyers were beginning to demand. Flexible seating and a commanding driving position gave i
2012 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2012, the Meriva faced intensifying competition from the Citroën C3 Picasso and Renault Modus, yet Opel's offering held its ground through practical packaging and honest engineering. The updated front end and revised interior trim gave it fresher appeal without radical reinvention. Buyers valued the sliding rear doors and flexible seating more than flashy styling.
2013 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2013, the revised Meriva faced a crowded compact-MPV field where practicality and value mattered more than flash. The 1.4-litre petrol unit, producing 100 hp, remained the volume seller in Western markets, though fleet buyers gravitated toward the 1.7-litre diesel delivering 110 hp. British and Irish showrooms emphasized the modular interior and low running costs—appeals tha
2014 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2014, the second-generation Meriva faced stiffening competition from the Nissan Note and Renault Scenic, yet Opel's engineers chose to refine rather than reinvent. The 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivered 140 horsepower with reasonable efficiency, while the 1.3-litre diesel option appealed to fleet buyers and high-mileage drivers. The refresh brought sharper exteri
2015 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2015, the Meriva's second generation faced stiffer competition from the Citroën C3 Picasso and Ford B-Max, yet buyers gravitated toward its flexible seating arrangement and practical interior. The range spanned a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol good for 140 horsepower and a 1.6-litre diesel producing 110 horsepower, both paired to six-speed transmissions. That combination of s
2016 Opel Meriva Brochure
By 2016, the Meriva faced stiffening competition from crossover-styled hatchbacks and nimble city cars, yet Opel positioned it as the thinking family's alternative—spacious where rivals were cramped, practical without pretension. The updated interior brought a cleaner dashboard design and improved infotainment touchscreen, while the 1.4-litre petrol engine delivered adequate ev
2005 Opel Meriva OPC Brochure
The OPC's turbocharged 1.6-litre engine produced 200 horsepower, a figure that transformed the modest Meriva into something genuinely quick. This 2005 variant sat at an odd intersection: compact family hauler meets hot hatchback, with a sport-tuned chassis that made it feel far sharper than its boxy proportions suggested.
