Opel Meriva Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2010) — First Generation Restyling
The First Generation Restyling Opel Meriva is a Compact Van for family trips and town errands. You sit higher than in a hatchback, with a short, upright cabin that is easy to park and load.
Among the Opel Meriva engine options, you can pick a 1.3 MT diesel with a manual, a 1.6 MTA gasoline with a robotic transmission, or a 1.4 MT that runs on LPG. These Compact Van examples are front-wheel drive, so the real difference is fuel type and how you shift.
