Surprisingly innovative and convincingly safe

The Vauxhall Meriva has been granted the 5-star Euro NCAP rating.

Adaptive forward lighting (AFL)

Your Meriva can be specified to include an optional halogen lighting system, featuring dynamic curve light and static cornering light. The result? Better visibility and enhanced safety too.

Active safety features

You expect comprehensive safety from Vauxhall and the Meriva delivers it. Active safety features include latest generation electronically controlled stability and brake systems as well as helpful driver assistance equipment.

  • ESP-plus with anti-locking brake system (ABS) and corner brake control (CBC)
  • Straight-line stability (SBS) controls and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD)
  • Automatic lighting control (ALC, part of the optional Sight and Light Pack), to reduce driving stress
  • Rain sensor as part of the optional Sight and Light Pack.

Passive safety features

If the worst should ever happen, the Meriva is equipped to deal with it. Passive safety features include:

  • Extremely rigid passenger safety cell
  • Front, side and curtain airbags (available on Exclusiv and SE models as standard, and as part of the Protection Pack on Expression and S models)
  • Pedal-release system (PRS)
  • Active front headrests (on Exclusiv and SE models as standard, and as part of the Protection Pack on Expression and S models)
  • Double, front seat belt pre-tensioners
  • Advanced FlexDoors® safety concept.

Child safety

All Meriva models feature pre-fitted ISOFIX mountings on the outer rear seats. When used with the accessory Vauxhall Duo ISOFIX child seat, this ensures the child seat is fixed and securely anchored. Meriva’s wide opening FlexDoors® offer easier access to the rear seat, so it’s even simpler to secure a child safely. With front and rear doors open, Meriva also creates a partially enclosed area at the side of the car. It’s effectively a parent and child friendly zone that makes it easier to control children as they step in or out of the car.
