2014 Models Edition 2
OPEL MERIVA

COMFORT MEETS STYLE
MEETS CONVENIENCE
When it comes to comfort, convenience, quality and style the Meriva just gets it all
right. FlexDoors® make access so easy. FlexSpace® and FlexRail®systems mean you
can completely re-arrange the interior in a couple of clicks. And the high driving
position and luxury seating for five make it a relaxing place to be for everyone. On the
outside, the Meriva is better looking than ever with a new front grille, bumper and
front light design. So you get a car that’s as good to look at for passers by as it is for
you to drive.
This brochure covers Meriva S, SC, and SE models only. Some of the models shown include options and
accessories available at extra cost. And not all of the features described are available on every model.
We may also offer alternative Meriva models such as Special Editions. So for all current model or

LOVE THE STYLE
The Meriva certainly gives you plenty to catch the eye with the
new front grille, bumper and headlight design underlining the
car’s confident, can-do character. From the side, the ‘wave-
design’ rear windows add a touch of style together with a new
rear light design. But it’s the clever FlexDoors®that get all the
attention, and for good reason. They help make the Meriva one
of the most family-friendly cars we’ve ever built.

SPACE TO LIVE
Inside the Meriva is a great place to be. Up front the driver’s
seat holds you comfortably in a high sitting position as you take
in a better view of the road ahead and the ergonomically
designed facia layout. And in the back there’s room to spare.
Wherever you sit you’re surrounded by high quality materials in
colours that are designed, like everything else here, to work well
together.

GENIUS OR JUST
COMMON SENSE
We made the Meriva a car that’s not just easier to live with – it
makes life easier. We added rear-hinged FlexDoors®, that open
far wider than normal, to make it easier to get in and out of the
back seat and safer for everyone at the roadside. Then we gave
the Meriva our Flex-Fix® bike carrier. A fully integrated, optional
rear carrier system that can safely carry two bikes but
completely folds away into the rear bumper when you don’t
need it. Now that makes sense to us.

STAY CONNECTED
ON THE MOVE
The infotainment system in the Meriva is there to help. Not get
in the way or take over. And it’s so easy to use, whether it’s the
standard radio and CD player with aux-in or any of the other
options available.
Most models feature USB connection for your MP3 player or
phone with control via the steering wheel controls. There’s
also the availability of Bluetooth®connectivity so you can
make calls hands-free.
And there’s even sat nav with the option of IntelliLink technology
that lets you make calls and stream audio using Bluetooth®from
portable devices via a big 7-inch colour screen.
Whichever you choose, all this tech doesn’t just work, it works the
way you want it to.

PERFORMANCE
MEANS ECONOMY
TOO
It may be perfect for family life but the Meriva is great to
drive too. With confident balance and lively, efficient multi-
valve petrol, turbo-powered and ultra-efficient diesel engines
that are all as good at saving fuel as they are at performing on
the road. Add to that lower CO2emissions and savings on vehicle
tax and you have a range of engines designed to save you
money without having to compromise in any way.

PROTECT WHAT’S
IMPORTANT
We’ve done everything possible to protect you, your Meriva
and other road users. That’s why we offer a series of
sophisticated safety features and options.
There’s Adaptive Forward Lighting to make cornering at night
safer, front and rear parking distance sensors for those tight
parking situations, active-safety front seat head restraints to
minimise the risk of whiplash and up to six airbags.
And with the family in mind, all Meriva models feature ISOFIX
mountings on the outer rear seats for the safer installation of
child seats.
The Meriva doesn’t just feel safer than ever. It is.

SIT BACK
AND RELAX
Simple solutions to sort out those everyday family transport dilemmas are what
it’s all about. That’s why every Meriva includes FlexSpace® as standard, a simple way
to go from five seats to four, three or two instantly to meet your needs. Then we added
Flex Floor, our two-position, adjustable luggage compartment floor that can be lowered
to give you more load height and volume. And then there’s FlexRail®, a versatile, modular,
multi-level storage system situated between the front seats with spaces and connectivity
for MP3 players and mobile phones. So whatever life throws your way, you can relax knowing
that your Meriva comes with the flexibility to handle it with ease and comfort.

POWER WITH A SENSE
OF RESPONSIBILITY
Compromise is a thing of the past with our range of engines. They manage to combine
comparatively low fuel consumption and emissions with brisk performance so you can have it all.
The Meriva engine line-up consists of a 1.4 litre petrol engine and three diesels – including a brand
new 1.6CDTi that is not only designed to be both fuel efficient with low CO2emissions but
surprisingly quiet out on the road too.

The Meriva’s 1.4i 16v VVT (100PS) engine features Variable Valve Timing technology for high fuel
economy and performance. Meriva’s three turbocharged diesel engines feature fuel-injection
and common rail diesel technology, which cuts emissions, reduces noise and lowers fuel
consumption. There are now two ecoFLEX engines, the 1.3CDTi (95PS) is joined by a new
powerful 1.6CDTi that produces 136PS and 320Nm of torque and yet still delivers excellent fuel
economy and CO2 emissions of just 116g/km. This new ecoFLEX engine also features Start/Stop
technology as standard. Saving even more fuel by automatically stopping the engine when you
come to a standstill and restarting when you want to move off.

CONNECTS WITH
YOUR LIFE
You don’t need a degree in technology to get the most out of
the Meriva’s infotainment options. Whether you’re syncing a
smartphone, finding the quickest way to a new place or just
listening to music on an MP3 player, it’s easy.
The choice is yours. Every Meriva comes with a CD player, stereo
radio, aux-in and USB connectivity for your MP3 player. But from
there you can add as much of the extra technology as you want
as options. From Bluetooth® for making calls to streaming audio
from smartphones or tablets, to our new Navi 650 sat nav unit
or Navi 950 IntelliLink system (right) for voice controlled
navigation, phone calls and music tracks. It’s all designed to
make your life easier.
