The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.7 CDTI DPF 100 EU5 S AC AUTO6 is a compact five-door people carrier, offering flexible space in a family-friendly package. In the UK used-car market, it sits between city cars and larger MPVs, suiting buyers wanting family space without bulk for daily life. Families, carers and commuters needing entry, raised seating and room for errands are its natural audience. Rear doors that open wide make child-seat access simpler, while the 1.7-litre diesel and automatic suit longer trips. Compared with larger MPVs, the Meriva offers a middle ground against rivals such as Ford B-Max.
