Vauxhall will launch a new five-door entry-level model called Viva in Summer next year.
The Viva will be the latest edition to Vauxhall’s small car range joining the fashionable A-sector ADAM and the popular Corsa supermini. Priced at the lower end of the market, the Viva will have a five-door body style with either four or five seats. Vauxhall says the Viva will be well specified and come in a range of trims and equipment levels.
The model’s name pays homage to Vauxhall’s original Viva available from 1963 to 1979. Over 1.5 million Vivas were manufactured at Vauxhall’s plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The new model is thought to be based on the Chevrolet Spark.
