GM’s next-generation Opel Meriva compact MPV has been caught undergoing testing once gain. Though it remains in full camouflage, many details are still discernible, including the overall shape, which remains close to the original Meriva concept from last year’s Geneva Motor Show.
A very carefully placed extra segment of cladding appears to be hiding one of the most controversial lements of the concept’s design: the rear-window ‘kink’.
The front door’s handle and the general construction of the doors and rubber strips indicate the rear-opening rear doors of the concept are gone.
The suicide door configuration makes for better display in a car show booth, but is both inconvenient and hard to get past the legal department in the real world.
