Vauxhall Viva

The Viva will be in Vauxhall's showrooms in the summer and will start at a fiver short of £8,000. It'll be offered in SE and SL trims just like the original Viva. There will be two additions though, sitting between SE and SL. The SE Air Con and SE ecoFLEX.
The only engine option is a 1.0-litre 75 PS petrol unit. It returns a claimed 62.8 mpg or 65.7 mpg for normal or ecoFLEX engines respectively, emitting 99 or 104 g/km of CO2.
SE models have ABS, ESP with traction control, front, side and curtain airbags and ISOFIX for the rear outermost seats. You even get a TPMS and Lane Departure Warning.
Inside, a speed-sensitive power-assisted steering incorporates a City Mode for even lighter steering, front electric windows only, cruise control, an auxiliary input, a multifunction steering wheel, height adjustment on the driver's seat and 60:40 split folding rear seats.
Daytime running lights, front fog lights and 15-inch wheels finish the SE off. It's important to note that these aren't alloys.
SE Air Con adds the obvious.
SE ecoFLEX bring along with it a front lip spoiler, an extended rear spoiler and ultra-low rolling resistance tyres.
Top-of-the-range SL adds an electronic climate control, USB and Bluetooth® for the audio system, six speakers, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, tinted rear windows and 15-inch alloys (yay!).
Pricing for the Viva? From £7,995 for SE to £9,495 for the SL. Great, compared to the £8,995 Nissan Micra, the £10,695 Hyundai i20 and the £8,999 Suzuki Swift.
