The Vauxhall Viva To Reach Showrooms This Summer

“The all-new Vauxhall Viva will reach showrooms this summer, with prices starting at £7,995 for the entry-level five-door model,” reports Honest John. “Powered by a 998cc three-cylinder petrol engine, the Viva will emit less than 100g/km of CO2 and return up to 65.7mpg. “The Viva is offered with just one engine, a 1.0-litre petrol with 75PS. There’s no details about performance yet, but we understand the three-cylinder engine will emit 104g/km and return a claimed 62.8mpg. The Viva will also be available as an ecoFlex model, which will lower emissions to 99g/km and improve economy to 65.7mpg. “The exterior styling is similar to the Corsa, with swept back headlights, large grille and a short stubby nose. However, the rear of the car is similar to its city car rivals, with compact light clusters and a small boot opening. “Vauxhall claims the Viva will accommodate five, in comfort. The Viva is offered in four trim levels – SE, SE Air Con, SE ecoFlex and SL – and all get a tyre pressure monitoring system, lane departure warning and cruise control as standard.”
