What is the Vauxhall Viva?
The Viva is a small five-door city car that returned to Vauxhall’s range in 2015. In other European markets, the same model was known as the Opel Karl.
Vauxhall is a British car brand and part of Stellantis. The Viva revived a familiar name for a compact car with petrol power and a straightforward place in the range.
Generation and engine
The Viva generation ran from 2015 to 2019 and used a 1.0-litre petrol engine. UK VCA figures for 2015–2018 show outputs from 54 kW (73 PS) to 55 kW (75 PS).
With one engine size and fuel type, the Viva kept its powertrain range simple. Its five-door body brought everyday practicality to a small city car.
Fuel consumption
The Viva appears in EU registration figures from 2015 to 2019, with five versions. UK VCA figures for 2015–2018 give a lowest stated consumption of 4.3 L/100 km on the NEDC test. This is a test result for particular versions, rather than a figure for every driving situation.
European consumption figures may use WLTP or the earlier NEDC procedure. The UK figure here uses NEDC, so comparisons are most useful when they use the same test procedure.

The Viva appears in EU registration figures from 2015 to 2019, with 76,398 registrations. The 1.0-litre petrol model had its highest listed annual registrations in 2016, at 28,544, followed by 19,842 in 2017 and 10,866 in 2015.
