The Geneva Motor Show will see the world premiere of Vauxhall’s latest small car.
Vauxhall first produced a model named the Viva between 1963 and 1979; the updated version is a five door small car which is more suited to the demands of the modern urban lifestyle. Vauxhall say that some of the qualities of the original Viva remain in the new model including the clean lines, durability and practicality; though clearly the engine and driver technology have come on leaps and bounds.
It will feature a 1.0 litre three cylinder ECOTEC engine, providing 75PS, linked to a 5 speed transmission. The IntelliLink infotainment system will allow drivers to link Android and Apple smart phones. It should arrive in showrooms this summer after visitors to the Geneva Motor Show get first glimpses of it between 5th-15th March.
“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.”
