The new Viva will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, GM Europe has confirmed. The new city car – Vauxhall Viva in the UK and Opel Karl in Europe – was revealed online late last year. Vauxhall made a Viva from 1963 to 1979 while the Opel is named after founder Adam Opel’s eldest son.
Effectively replacing the Agila and sitting below the fancy Adam, the 3,680 mm A-segmenter is motivated by a 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine that feeds 75 PS to the front wheels through a five-speed manual. The Ecotec unit first appeared in the Adam Rocks and the new Corsa, but this state of tune is unique to the Viva.
Like stablemates Adam and Corsa, the Viva is fully-connected thanks to the IntelliLink infotainment system, which allows seamless integration of Apple iOS and Android devices.
Standard safety kit includes ESP, traction control, hill start assist and ABS with EBD, while options include heated front seats and steering wheel, fog lamps, a sunroof, cruise control, park assist and lane departure warning. There’s also a City mode that reduces steering effort at the push of a button.
The Vauxhall Viva/Opel Karl is set to go up against the likes of the Renault Twingo, Hyundai i10, Smart forfour, Peugeot 108, Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo in the European city car arena when it goes on sale.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
great! perodua will be an international name! really proud being……………….OH WAIT!
aint funny..try again =_=
Perodua Viva or Vauxhall Viva, both are good and value worthy.
It will be strong competitor waiting for Iriz in Europe market.
But wait! Iriz can’t even enter Europe market, can it?
Perodua Viva in europe market ?
Safety first bro… no more tin milo
traction control must have in all cars
The Iriz can, the Perodua Viva can’t.
I think you need to poke a mention of Vauxhall in the headline, Danny. I thought it was P2 introducing a new Viva on top of the Axia!
purposely dont want to put vauxhall la bro.. it is paultan strategy hehe
Not you Perodua, not you. Move on please
That actually doesn’t look too bad for a small and cheap city car. Though the new Twingo looks better, and so does the Fiat 500 (but that’s more expensive). Beats the Ford Ka (which isn’t that cheap).
And I thought it was Perodua’s Viva. =_=!
Is this why peordua has to change viva to axia? GM make noise?
Peh, thought Perodua Viva!
I think most of us that clicked the link to this post thought that this is the new Perodua Viva…
Perodua must have registered the ‘Viva’ name under its brand. Isn’t trademark applied worldwide? Correct me if I’m wrong..
Vauxhall actually use the VIVA model name way back in the seventies, P2 actually copy the Viva model name.
even the name “Viva” is copied. Does Perodua have anything original?
This is what axia, the p2 viva successor, should look like.
Nice rear lights. Not like axia the rear lights look like chicken pox
More like horse shoe.
Reminds me of the Suprima…
The header “New Viva confirmed for Geneva show debut in March”… is extremely misleading as most reader’s first impression is Perodua. After all the high hopes suddenly we realised it is a Vauxhall.
Please edit your header !
The first Viva is older than Perodua itself…haha
The last Viva from Vauxhall was a midsize sedan/coupe. Now it is a tiny hatchback.
This is true innovation by perodua, well done perodua to improve existing viva model to sell in europe. Potong till now oso dont sell any car outside, jaguh kampung oni. Die la potong, mamakthir kroni project!!
Please read the article before bashing la macha…
I believe this post is created solely to troll with pt readers. Who the hell cares about vaux launching anything? Enough with the trolling dude. Not funny.
so clever lah paultan :P
nice try Danny.. wanna troll around
