Viva vital statistics
- 1.0-litre ECOTEC (75PS) powertrain, five-speed gearbox;
- 3.68 metres long with room for up to five people;
- IntelliLink connectivity for smartphone integration.
VIVA will be the star of the Vauxhall models when it makes its world debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
Arriving in summer, the VIVA will be the latest addition to Vauxhall’s small car range joining the ADAM and the Corsa supermini.
Paying homage to Vauxhall’s original Viva, made from 1963 to 1979, the all-new VIVA promises clean lines, durability and practicality. At 3.68 metres long, it also boasts spacious internal accommodation providing room for up to five people.
It is also the latest Vauxhall to feature the 1.0-litre three-cylinder ECOTEC engine nmated to a slick five-speed transmission.
Connectivity comes via Vauxhall’s IntelliLink infotainment system, which allows integration of Apple iOS and Android devices.
“Debuting at Geneva, Vauxhall’s new entry-level model is a ‘proper’ small car and will hold great appeal in this rapidly growing sector,” said Tim Tozer, Vauxhall’s chairman and managing director. “On sale next year at an extremely attractive price point, VIVA joins new Corsa and ADAM in a compelling small car portfolio, giving Vauxhall an unrivalled position in the small car market.”
