Opel will be bringing in a refreshed Meriva to Ireland in April, at a starting price of €18,995, writes Brian Byrne.

The small MPV now also gets a new 1.6 diesel power option, but that bumps the price up to €23,295, a long way ahead of the 1.3 diesel at €19,995.

The car has some styling tweaks, though the distinctive — and for some, aesthetically divisive — 'blitz' side profile remains.

The Meriva is a slow seller in Ireland, with just 73 units registered last year compared to 356 in 2008 — a year when Opel sold nearly 12,000 vehicles in Ireland compared to just shy of 5,000 in 2013. Over the last four years, some 532 Merivas have been registered in Ireland.
