The all-new five-door Vauxhall Viva will arrive in showrooms this summer and will be priced from £7,995.

The Viva range consists of two trim levels: SE, and SL. SE features; tyre pressure monitoring system, lane departure warning, ISOFIX child seat restraint system for outer rear seats, perimeter alarm system, electrically operated front windows and heated door mirrors, cruise control, steering wheel mounted audio controls, daytime running lights, front fog lights with cornering function, and 15-inch structure wheels.

The SL model (£9,495.00) adds; USB audio connection, Bluetooth music streaming, Bluetooth mobile phone portal, six speakers, two-tone grey facia, leather-covered steering wheel, dark-tinted rear windows, and 15-inch alloy wheels.

There will also be air-con and ecoFLEX versions of the SE trim.

Options available include; winter pack (heated seats and steering wheel), rear parking sensors, and electric glass sliding sunroof.

Vauxhall’s chairman and managing director Tim Tozer said: “Short, crisp and full of character, Vauxhall’s new entry-level model is a proper small car and will hold great appeal in this rapidly growing sector.

“Viva joins new Corsa and Adam in a compelling small car portfolio, giving Vauxhall an unrivalled position in the small car market.”
