The front suspension sits on McPherson struts, with a torsion beam at the rear. An electro-hydraulic booster is used in the steering with variable effort (depending on the speed of movement). In addition, Meriva has disc wheel brakes.
One of the unusual features of this machine is the development of the Flex-Door_Concept. This function involves opening doors in different sides, and the tailgate opens as much as 84 degrees. Also, in a car of this model, more amenities are provided for passengers, the leg opening is enlarged by moving the door hinges to rear rack. In addition, such modifications to the design of the car reduce the risk of getting dirty when boarding or disembarking. The interior of the Opel Meriva minivan is quite spacious, besides it has a rather large trunk volume. IN standard form, the volume of the trunk is 400 liters, and if you assemble the rear row of seats, then the volume of the trunk will increase to 1500 liters.

In Russia, the Opel Meriva family compact MPV is produced with three petrol engines and one diesel engine.
Gasoline engines:
The 1.4-liter XER (100 l / s) with 5 manual transmissions accelerates the car to 100 km / h in just 13.9 seconds, the maximum speed is 177 km / h. Fuel consumption on the highway from 5.1 liters, in the city up to 7.8 liters.
A 1.4-liter NEL (120 l / s) with a 6 automatic transmission accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 195 km/h. Gasoline consumption on the highway from 5.8 liters, in the city up to 9.6 liters.
The turbocharged 1.4-liter NET (140 hp) with 6 manual transmissions spends 10.3 seconds during acceleration from 100 km / h, the maximum speed is 196 km / h. Fuel consumption on the highway from 5.3 liters, in the city up to 8.4 liters.
Diesel engine:
Compact MPV Opel Meriva turbodiesel 1.7-liter DTI (110 l / s) with a gearbox, or 6 manual transmissions, or 6 automatic transmissions can accelerate the car in 9.9 (11.8) seconds to 100 km / h and gain maximum speed 196 (182) km/h. Consumption on the highway is 4.5 (5.0) liters, and in the city 6.5 (7.9) liters of diesel fuel.
But after analyzing all the reviews of car owners, you can find out the real fuel consumption Meriva engines. Car owners say gasoline engine consumes 0.5 liters more fuel, and diesel consumes 5.5-6.5 liters on the highway and 7-8 liters in the city.
Test drive Opel Meriva
Test drive compact MPV Opel Meriva. The suspension is not very comfortable. For example, if the suspension still copes with small and medium pits, then it gives in to large depressions on the road, especially if these pits have sharpened edges. Potholes or potholes are clearly reflected by blows in the cabin and on the suspension elements. The steering does not shine with informativeness, one gets the feeling that you are not driving a car, but a computer stimulator. The coolest thing about Meriva is the tenacious brakes, the sound insulation of the cabin, impeccable by the standards of the class, namely the turbocharged 1.4-liter gasoline engine paired with a 6 manual transmission.
Opel Meriva price
Price for universally compact family minivan Opel Meriva in Russia with an unconventional rear door opening system, in the salons of official dealers is 599,000 rubles (essentia initial equipment). The cost of the Opel Meriva in the Cosmo configuration with a diesel engine and 6 automatic transmissions in car dealerships reaches 843,500 rubles. Well, if the car is packed to capacity with all the existing additional options, the price will exceed 900,000 rubles.
But questions on maintenance, tuning, repair and spare parts should be left to highly qualified specialists who work in official Opel service stations. However, there are a lot of options for buying spare parts for the Opel Meriva compact van through the worldwide network. This will lead to a reduction in the cost of servicing and maintaining the car.
In September 2002 (at the Paris Motor Show), the German automaker Opel officially introduced the first generation Meriva subcompact van. In early 2003, mass production of the car started at the facilities of the company's Spanish plant in Zaragoza.
In 2006, "Meriva A" experienced a "planned modernization", which affected not only the appearance, but also power line. The release of the model lasted until 2010 - then the second generation car debuted.
Appearance Opel Meriva A causes extremely positive emotions. The subcompact van is endowed with neat and attractive design, which, moreover, is not devoid of dynamism. In general, the car has an elegant and harmonious appearance, which will definitely appeal to family people. Everything in the car is good - neat head optics and rear lights, a large glass area, short (both front and rear) overhangs. Despite the fact that the production of the model has already been discontinued, it has an appearance that looks relevant to this day.
Visually, the first generation Opel Meriva is perceived to be larger than it really is - in fact, the length of this subcompact van only slightly exceeds the four-meter mark - 4052 mm. At the same time, the width of the car is 1694 mm, and the height is 1624 mm. The wheelbase of the "German" is 2630 mm, and the ground clearance (clearance) is 140 mm.
The interior of the Meriva has a somewhat rustic design, although you literally can’t fault the ergonomics. Dashboard it does not differ in anything outstanding, it is made according to the standard scheme, and its readings are impeccably read under any conditions.
At the very top of the center console, you can see a color display, which displays a bunch of necessary information. It is worth noting the convenient location of the buttons for activating the heating of the front seats - right in front of your eyes between the ventilation deflectors. On the console there is a place for control units for "music" and the climate system.
In general, the front Opel panel Meriva has a well-thought-out layout, and all the buttons for launching the main functions are located in intuitive places.
The main advantage of the "first" Meriva is the organization inner space. People of any size can sit in the front seats, since the seats have a comfortable cushion and sufficient adjustment ranges. The only thing missing is more pronounced support on the sides.
This subcompact van embodies the concept of "FlexSpace", which implies ample opportunities for transforming the interior. Firstly, the back sofa is divided in the ratio 40/20/40, each part has the ability to move back and forth and across, as well as the backrest adjustable in angle. The middle part can be completely dismantled, thereby obtaining two comfortable separate places. The rear seat is endowed with many different configurations and adjustments that allow you to organize the interior space in the most convenient way.
Luggage volume in standard position has from 350 to 560 liters (it all depends on the position in which the second row of seats is installed). The back of the rear sofa can be transformed, thereby increasing the useful volume to 1410 liters, and the length of the cargo area - up to 1.7 meters (up to 2.4 meters for "narrow length gauges"). At the same time, the shape of the luggage compartment is rectangular, and the walls are absolutely even.
Specifications. Initially, five petrol engines and three diesel engines were offered for the Opel Meriva A:
- The gasoline range included 1.4 ~ 1.8-liter 4-cylinder 16-valve atmospheric units with a capacity of 90 ~ 125 hp, which were paired with a 5-speed transmission (manual or robotic), transferring all power to the wheels front axle.
- Diesel turbocharged power units (also "in-line sixteen-valve fours") with a volume of 1.2 ~ 1.7 liters provided a return of 70 ~ 101 hp. and worked exclusively in tandem with a five-speed "mechanics".
As a result of the modernization in 2006, the engine and transmission range was noticeably "revised" and modernized:
- Only three gasoline engines remained - with a volume of 1.4 ~ 1.8 liters, a power of 90 ~ 125 hp, which remained with the same “boxes” (5-speed “mechanics” or “robot”).
- There are three "turbodiesels" left, but they have become "stronger" - with the same volume of 1.2 ~ 1.7 liters, they already gave out 75 ~ 125 hp, and in terms of transmissions - the "junior" remained with a 5-speed "mechanics", and here the "senior" got a 6-speed "mechanics" or a 4-speed "automatic".
Diesel engines provide "Merive" with a maximum speed of 155 ~ 195 km / h, conquering the "first hundred" in 11 ~ 18 seconds and consuming an average of 5 ~ 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Gasoline engines can accelerate the car to 165 ~ 195 km / h, reaching "hundreds on the speedometer" in 11.5 ~ 14.5 seconds and consuming about 6.4 ~ 8.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km of travel in the "combined cycle".
On the front axle of the "Meriva" is installed independent suspension with MacPherson struts rear axle a semi-independent scheme with connected levers is used. The steering is supplemented by an electric booster, and the brakes on all wheels are disc.
Prices. In 2017 on secondary market Opel Meriva A is available at an average price of 200,000 - 400,000 rubles (depending on installed engine, equipment level and year of manufacture).
Opel Meriva is a car that gives you freedom and unlimited choice. It reflects the changes in your lifestyle. Possessing high level functionality, Opel Meriva allows you to make the most of every moment of your precious time.
Opel Meriva demonstrates a high level of functionality in everything, but most of all this applies to the FlexSpace® seating system, which has almost endless possibilities of transformation. The rear seats have many configurations and adjustments. In particular, the outer rear seats have a fore/aft adjustment of 200 mm. Of course, this significantly increases the volume of the luggage compartment. But most importantly, it allows tall people to sit comfortably and comfortably in the rear seats.
Multifunctional salon: transformer in action
Thanks to the already mentioned unusual way of opening the doors, getting into the cabin of this car is simple and convenient. Moreover, if this is not very critical for you, then when landing children, it makes life much easier.
The salon itself is one big transformer. All seats move back and forth for a long distance, the backrests change the angle, and the middle seat can be folded, allowing you to expand the space for passengers sitting on the edge.
Naturally, the back row can be completely folded, turning, and so not small trunk new Opel Meriva - 400 liters, in a much larger luggage compartment - 1500 liters.
The salon is full of various pockets, there are about 40 of them here. For family car this is a useful addition.
The front seats are comfortably adjustable, both horizontally and vertically, although, according to the owners, the landing, even from the lowest position, is rather high. But here, of course, it all depends on growth.
The front panel will please with a color monitor, which displays a picture from the rear view camera, navigator, as well as audio system settings.
Under the display, there is a huge number of buttons, as in the previous generation of executive cars. Opel Insignia. Such a large number of options can be attributed to the disadvantages of the Opel Meriva, and, according to reviews about this car, if you can somehow deal with all this, then you definitely won’t be able to use it during the trip. 
Although among all this piling up there are many useful features, but this does not add clarity.
Even lower is the climate control, but here the setting should not be difficult, everything is very clear.
The soundproofing of the interior of the new Opel Meriva is worthy of praise. Almost no sounds penetrate the cabin. And not only from the street, but also from under the hood.
Balanced behavior on the road
The main update of this year has touched the chassis of the Opel Meriva. The transmission, gearboxes (both mechanics and automatic), as well as engines, have undergone a rework.
The improvements resulted in:
- Less fuel consumption
- fast and smooth switching gear
- Compliance of engines with Euro-6 standard
At the moment, diesel engines will not be supplied to the Russian market. Only European buyers will enjoy the new, economical diesel.
And for us, three gasoline engines are provided.
100 and 140-horsepower motors are aggregated only with mechanics, and a 120-horsepower motor comes with an automatic gearbox.
The dynamics of the car is not at all sporty, the most powerful engine accelerates a car weighing 1500 kg to 100 km / h in 10.9 seconds. The indicators of other power units are even worse. But after all, this, by definition, is a family car, and therefore it was not worth expecting a frisky start from it.
The volume of the fuel tank is 54 liters.
For such a car, smoothness, handling and good brakes are much more important. And Opel Meriva has no problems with this. The suspension setup is great for a calm and measured ride, and at the same time it is stiff enough that the car does not roll in corners.
The theoretical ground clearance is 180 mm, however, for our conditions, the car is equipped with crankcase protection, so the actual ground clearance is about 160 mm.
Safety - nothing to worry about
Family car and therefore safety is not an empty phrase. The engineers of the German company equipped the car with everything necessary for the driver and passengers to feel confident.
- 6 airbags
- air curtains
- The automatic alarm turns on automatically when hard braking
- Isofix - mount for installation child seat
- ABS - anti-lock braking system
- EBD - brake force distribution
- ESP- directional stability cars
- ASR - anti-slip system
- HHC - help when starting to move uphill (the driver has a few seconds to move his foot from the brake to the gas, at which time the electronics prevent the car from rolling)
- Car tire pressure monitoring

History of Opel Meriva / Opel Meriva
The original version of the Opel Meriva was introduced in 2002 at the Geneva Motor Show in the form of "Concept M". Subsequently, having acquired the final features, it was shown at the Paris Motor Show. IN model range Opel compact one-volume Meriva appeared in 2003. According to Opel experts, the new Meriva can rightly be called " younger brother» Zafira. Only now this minivan is designed not for seven, but for five people. But despite being closely related to Zafira, Meriva has much more to offer. common features With Opel Corsa. For example, these two cars are built on the same platform and have the same taillights.
The wheelbase of the Meriva is 2630 mm, the total length is 4042 mm, the width is 1694 mm.
GM developed two designs of this car: for Europe and for America. The first was created at the Opel/Vauxhall International Technical Development Center in Germany, and the second in São Paulo, Brazil, at the GM Design Center. Two modifications differ in engine size and interior trim. The European version is produced at GM's plant in Zaragoza, Spain, and the American, Chevrolet version, at the San José dos Capos plant in Brazil.
The Opel Meriva also embodied the concept of "FlexSpace", which provides ample opportunities for transforming the cabin. Thanks to this, in a matter of seconds, Meriva can be a four-, three- or two-seater car. The middle rear seat stows away in minutes for comfort and more trunk and interior space. The rear seats have many configurations and adjustments. In particular, the outer rear seats have a longitudinal position adjustment, the range of which is 200 mm, which allows you to significantly increase the volume of the luggage compartment, as well as adjust their configuration to passengers of any height and build. As an option, a folding front passenger seat can be ordered. The high seating position provides good review roads and convenient boarding and disembarking. If you need additional luggage space, the two side seats can be moved forward, folded or lowered to the floor. If all 5 seats are used, the Meriva's load volume varies from 350 to 560 liters depending on the position of the rear seats. If you need more space, you can quickly convert to freight car with a load volume of 1410 liters and a load compartment length of 1.7 m. With the front passenger seat folded down, the Meriva has a load length of 2.4 m and a volume of 2000 liters.
There are three configuration options to choose from: "Essentia", "Enjoy" or "Cosmo". Buyers can choose from options for comfort, functionality, or looks. Wide choose additional equipment and accessories will allow the customer to tailor Meriva to their needs and desires.
Comfort is another undoubted advantage of this car. Pockets and folding tables in the backs of the front seats, headphone jacks and a backup CD-receiver control unit between the front seats, another proof that Opel specialists tried to recreate the most comfortable atmosphere in the cabin. It is worth noting the excellent ergonomics of the driver's seat: a seat with many settings, comfortable steering wheel, easy-to-read instrument panel and convenient button layout. Excellent ride, high-quality noise and vibration isolation.
The range of engines consists of three petrol units: 1.6 / 87 hp, 1.6 ECOTEC / 100 hp, and powerful 1.8 ECOTEC / 125 hp. Two economical ECOTEC turbodiesels are also available: 1.7 DTI / 75 hp. with and new 1.7 CDTI/ 100 hp With. with direct injection.

Second Opel generation Meriva is a real breakthrough in automotive industry. The debut took place at the International Motor Show in Geneva in 2010. The model received a bright, memorable design both inside and out. German precision and sculpted body lines reflected the character of the car: the branded “blade” on the sides of the body, the undulating line of the lower part of the side windows and, of course, the FlexDoors hinged doors are the highlight of this model.
Doors open against the direction of travel, allowing quick access to rear seats. Standard doors have an opening angle of 68 to 70 degrees, while the FlexDoors concept allows doors to open at an angle of about 84 degrees, which creates a fairly wide opening. The front doors open at the same angle. FlexDoors cares about the safety of children. An adult easily gains access to the rear seats, helping the child fasten the belt, get out of the car or put the baby in the passenger compartment. With the simultaneous opening of all doors, an increased security zone is organized, i.e. children and parents are not separated by doors, so the risk of children jumping out onto the road is reduced. Along with functionality, FlexDoors gives the car a stylish look.
Inside the car seems much more spacious than outside. This feeling is achieved through the use of original, but at the same time simple and convenient mechanisms for transforming the interior, implemented using adaptive system FlexSpace. Now, in order to customize the Opel Meriva seat backs, create comfortable conditions for two, three or five passengers, you do not need to make great efforts or spend a lot of time. The rear seats can be moved individually both forward and backward. In addition, the middle seat can be folded down close to the floor, automatically connecting the outer seats to each other. If you also move them back, you get a 4-seat configuration, where the shoulders and legs will be more spacious. If you need to transport cargo large sizes, you can simply fold without removing all three rear seats, almost leveling the level with the floor.
The interior trim uses high-quality, pleasant to the touch materials. Wide seats sports type with orthopedic properties, which has a six-way adjustment, as well as a four-point lumbar support, provide excellent lateral support. This seat has been approved by the German medical association Aktion Gesunder Rucken e.V. or AGR for short, which formed the orthopedic standards for car seats.
Meriva has an electrical package, which includes electric mirrors and windows. Also, the car provides for height adjustment of the steering column and seats. These options are even in the database. In addition, almost all configurations imply the presence of a central lock that opens locks without a key, adaptable headlights, fasteners for bicycle equipment and a host of other useful innovations that were previously not available in standard modifications.
Opel Meriva 2011 model year Equipped with a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines ranging from 75 to 140 horsepower in combination with a 5 or 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission gears. Engines comply with strict European environmental regulations, in particular, to the Euro 5 standard. In addition, the most economical modification of "ecoFLEX" and cars on an extended base are supplied to Russia.
Among the technical innovations of genuine interest is the mechanism hand brake which is activated by the simple push of a button. Thanks to this, the Opel Meriva has become not only safer, but also more convenient, because the space vacated from the traditional handbrake lever was used to install the FlexSpace system. A car with such a brake will never roll back when climbing a hill, and when starting to move, it will automatic mode released.
German engineers paid special attention to active and passive safety systems. Along with improved brakes and other active systems, Opel Meriva is equipped with several airbags, a reminder system in case of an unfastened belt.

(maximum torque - 320 Nm). This engine accelerates a one and a half ton compact van to “hundreds” in 9.9 seconds, urban fuel consumption is declared by the manufacturer at 4.8 l / 100 km. This diesel unit replaced the previous working volume of 1.7 liters (130 hp). It is noteworthy that this engine will not be installed on the Meriva for Russian market. The line continues with an engine running on liquefied natural gas: 1.4 Turbo LPG, developing 120 hp. All engines are improved and comply with Euro-6 environmental requirements.
Opel also upgraded the gearbox. Transmissions for the updated Meriva are a matter of special pride for Opel. In particular, the fact that no less than 50 million euros have been invested in the modernization of gearboxes. The result is reduced friction losses and faster and smoother shifting. In the case of manual transmissions, the efforts when moving the lever, as well as the accuracy of gear engagement, also decreased. A 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed "automatic" are offered.
The familiar Adam multimedia system IntelliLink with a 7-inch color display, a rear-view camera, Bluetooth and the ability to connect external devices via a USB port was registered in the cabin. IntelliLink comes standard with a CD player, digital radio is available as an option, as well as two versions of the navigation system - Navi650 and Navi950 - with voice recognition.
