The official design sketches released by Opel for its new Meriva, the compact monocab set to debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and characterized by a contemporary design with rear-hinged doors and a focus on versatility and flexible use of space.
After exploring automobile on-board versatility with the compact seven-seater Zafira in 1999, Opel created a new market segment for small, affordable monocabs when it launched the first generation Opel Meriva in 2003.
With its FlexSpace rear-seating concept, high seating position and roomy cabin, the Opel Meriva was big on flexibility yet small in size.
On the new Opel Meriva the FlexSpace system has been further developed to become more intuitive and easier to use.
The new model also introduces FlexDoors, innovative rear-hinged rear doors that facilitate access to its cabin – a premiere for a volume manufacturer.

The interior storage space is enhanced by a flexible center console, as well as the FlexFix system - the integrated rear bicycle carrier that is stored like a drawer under the luggage compartment.
Aesthetically there are many details that remind of the Opel Insignia such as the chrome grille or the outline drawn on the doors and wheel arches.
Also, several details remind of the new Opel Astra, including the shape of the headlights and tail-lights. Another distinctive design element is the panoramic glass roof which is available as an option and gives the cabin extra light.
