2012 Vauxhall Meriva

Value Range
Vehicle price £3,500.00
The 2012 Vauxhall Meriva is a highly practical, family-focused mini MPV. Its standout selling points include its innovative rear-hinged 'suicide' doors for effortless cabin access, the highly adaptable FlexSpace seating system, and a comfortable, spacious interior designed for everyday convenience.Key Selling PointsFlexDoors (Rear-Hinged Doors): The rear doors open backward up to 90 degrees. This design provides a massive opening, making it incredibly easy to install child seats, strap children in, or assist elderly passengers.FlexSpace Seating System: Allows the rear seats to slide forward, backward, or fold entirely flat without removing the headrests. You can easily transform the traditional three-passenger rear bench into a spacious two-seater setup with more legroom.FlexRail Storage System: Mid and higher-tier models feature a tiered, sliding storage system between the front seats with modular bins and cup holders, enhancing cabin versatility.Family-Friendly Cabin Space: Elevated seating provides excellent all-around visibility, a generous 400-litre boot capacity, and plenty of clever cubby holes and hidden storage bins scattered throughout the car.Refined Ride Comfort: The suspension is tuned to absorb road imperfections well, and the cabin remains remarkably quiet at motorway speeds, making it a great cruiser.
