The Vauxhall Viva is a new small car that is equipped with a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder ECOTEC engine. The car's 74 horsepower may not be the most impressive figure on the market, but the engine is incredibly efficient.
The vehicle's length of 3.68 meters might also seem tiny, but the car is designed to comfortably seat five people. In terms of styling, the car unabashedly borrows from other Vauxhall small cars -- it has a trio of strong lines that run down from the side to create a blade of sorts, a design element that is seen on other Vauxhall models such as the Insignia and the GTC.
The Vauxhall Viva will be available in the Northern Hemisphere come spring.
