Vauxhall Meriva - Engines and transmissions

- Three new engines, including 1.3 CDTi diesel
- Range-topping 180PS VXR
- Up to eight per cent improvement in fuel economy

Vauxhall Meriva sees a host of technological improvements over its predecessor, not least under the bonnet.

Three new engines are available, bringing new appeal to the model range in all areas of the market.

The first new unit is a 1.3-litre high-tech diesel, which has already proved a huge success in Vauxhall Corsa, Tigra and Astra.

The 75PS unit - the smallest common-rail diesel in the world, is Euro 4 compliant and features a maintenance-free Diesel Particulate Filter as standard. Despite its modest capacity, the unit develops an impressive 170Nm of torque and offers impressive refinement, even at high speeds.
