Vauxhall Meriva wheel fitment — Meriva-A X01Monocab
Overview
The first generation of the Opel/Vauxhall Meriva, known as the 'Meriva A', was produced from May 2003 to June 2017. It is based on the GM Gamma platform and shares its underpinnings with the third-generation Opel Corsa C. The car was marketed in Europe as a mini MPV and featured a flexible interior layout called 'FlexSpace'. This generation was assembled in Spain, Brazil, Ukraine, and Argentina.
History & notable variants
The Meriva A underwent a facelift in February 2006, which included revisions to the front and rear ends. It also introduced new or revised engines and an extra trim level, the OPC/VXR variant with a powerful turbocharged engine. The model was sold as Chevrolet Meriva in South America until it was replaced by the Chevrolet Spin.
