There’s a teaser of a brand new Viva online, which is to be a low-cost and affordable city car when it’s revealed in the near future. We’re not talking about a new Perodua Viva, of course (that’s the upcoming Axia hatchback, which will be launched very, very soon), but Opel and Vauxhall’s upcoming replacement for the ageing Agila supermini.
The Viva nameplate will be used by the “British” brand Vauxhall alone, paying homage to the successful run of Vauxhall Viva models in the Sixties and Seventies. For the rest of Europe, the identical Opel version will carry a yet-to-be-announced different name again, effectively retiring the unpopular Agila moniker.
Expected to go against small European city cars such as the latest Renault Twingo, Smart forfour, Peugeot 108, Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo, GM Europe’s new model is said to be based on the next-generation Chevrolet Spark. More affordable base models could even rival budget alternatives like the Dacia Sandero.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
this is confusing
Bibir Fiesta + Buntut Myvi = Iriz
Vauxhall Viva or Perodua Viva, both have build quality.

For AhBeng ProtonFan, KL/Penang/JB is the world.
Jealous of sales? lol
I indeed jealous of you take mc sit in GSC till butthurt waiting for the Proton GSC still not yet launch.
It is not confusing.
Its just a new era of another make’s history. Most of us don’t remember those bygone eras anyway.
Maybe the title could have been Vauxhall/Opel Viva.
I wish I was born when the E-type was launched. Sadly I can only enjoy its recreated scene from Mad Men. lol. One can only wonder..
i tot p2 viva oso..look gud if that a p2 viva.
alright who else thought it was the Perodua Viva?
Guilty as charged.
LOL
I thought Perodua is developing this New “Viva”with Vauxhall/Opel together at first….
Viva forever …..
Malaysians are getting obese …. another sardine’s can for the market ….
Correction. P2 Viva is for sardines but this Viva is for Europeans.
Yea yea viva only European.
Iriz to Global. Enough say Proton the best !!!
Dream on global. See if Iriz can penetrate Bangsar or not…
Dream big big, syok high high, end up nothing happened…
Who cares about bangsar? Bangla and Indon also squat there
Those who don’t understand this article. This car is make by Opel/Vauxhall not PERODUA but use the same name. See others company also use the same name but then some malaysian will not bash this car and only bash our national car copycat here and there. Typical malaysian.
Didn’t you read properly? Vauxhall were using the Viva name in the 60s and 70s.
So, who copy who?
people didn’t get your sarcastic joke
I was expecting p2 car, turns out it was vauxhall..
Opel cars are quite decent, shame they are currently not available in our local market.
Perodua must sue them! :D
why? vauxhall used that name first.
Rent and drove Corsa and Astra before, on par with VW or Ford and much better than Korean or Japanese car.
Anyway GM just screw them and bring useless Chevrolet overhere.
Opel is a subsidiary of GM so please get your facts right before bashing!!
Read the reply again and please utilize use your brain. Don’t be stupid and ignorant.
What stupid? What ignorant?
Get lost and screw yourself stupid ignorant
price my friend. it is not economically viable to sell opels here. that’s why opel could not continue here a long time back and GM made the call to introduce the chevrolet brand as a substitute. say what you want, opel will just not be within the reach of enough to make it a viable business case.
I bet the european people will come across our viva when their are trying to google the information about their viva…. hahahaha…
mystery marketing strategy :D
I still can remember the time when my late dad drove home a white Vauxhall Viva for the first time sometime in 1976.
Vauxhall viva has been produce by 1963..now they reborn after 50yrs..who’s the pioneer right now?
How many still alive remember this?
The Viva name is today a household car model name in Malaysia. Which is why some cars are sold in different country with different names.
You dont simply try to sell a new car with the same name of a popular model…
For a moment i thought Perdua was going to give Proton a hard time ..
Did Vauxhall or Perodua trademark the name Viva? can sue kaw each other..
No wonder Aminar said Axia is not the replacement for Viva. They sold their name right to GM actually. So next 5 years they will be Vauxhall/Opel Axia for sure.
for the next Proton car, can we use Proton M3 or maybe Proton Aventador R3 Superleggiera. Oh wait, Proton A4 or Proton tiga siri.
Sure laku like hot cakes
Hafriz, you evil evil man.
so now opel copy peroduck
do google vauxhall viva and enlighten yourself.
Proton GSc is going to smoke this car,Axia,Vios,Almera and other compact car!
Our second car during the seventies was a Vauxhall Viva. Memories.
at first i tot p2 launching new viva ^^
Sure fail. Rebadge a Perodua which is a rebadge of a Daihatsu.
Marketing Department failed. Shape also looks llike P2 Viva.
Should call it VULVA. Sure can sell.
My father used to own the vauxhall viva in the late 70s. a solid car. still have fond memories of the car.
