Efficiently Small Cars

The Vauxhall Viva is a Small Car With a Highly Efficient Engine

— December 4, 2014 — Autos
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.
Trend Themes
1. Efficient Engine - The small car industry can explore opportunities to develop more efficient engines to improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions.
2. Compact Design - The compact car industry can innovate by creating smaller vehicles that can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers, catering to urban dwellers and addressing parking space challenges.
3. Styling Borrowing - Car manufacturers can explore creative opportunities by borrowing design elements from their own line of cars, creating a cohesive brand identity and reducing design costs.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry can capitalize on the trend of efficient engines by developing technology and manufacturing processes to produce more eco-friendly vehicles.
2. Urban Transportation - The urban transportation industry can benefit from compact car designs that facilitate easier navigation in crowded city streets and address the growing demand for efficient and convenient transportation options.
3. Automotive Design - The automotive design industry can offer expertise in creating cohesive design languages across a brand's product lineup, allowing for consistent and recognizable aesthetics.
