Vauxhall reveals new Meriva concept

Date: 28 February 2008

Vauxhall has revealed pictures of the new Meriva concept that will be making its world debut at next week's Geneva motor show.

The concept features rear-hinged rear doors, also called suicide doors, which open independently of the front doors. This is a result of the retention of the B-pillar for safety reasons.

Vauxhall claims the rear doors will be double hinged, and as a result will be able to open to an angle of 90 degrees. A sensor will prevent the door being opened while the car is moving.

While the Meriva is only a concept at the moment, a spokesman for Vauxhall said that the FlexDoors system would feature on future production cars.
