Vauxhall Viva Rocks goes on sale in the UK from £11,530

The Vauxhall Viva Rocks – a jacked-up crossover take on Vauxhall’s budget Viva – goes on sale in the UK with prices starting at £11,530.

It’s more than two years since the Vauxhall Viva badge was revived and stuck on a no-frills city car, and it looks to be selling quite well.

To capitalise on the success of the Viva we now get a new fashionable take on the it with the arrival of the Vauxhall Viva Rocks, a crossover take on the budget Viva to give the option of a Viva which looks a bit of an urban warrior.

The usual rufty-tufty makeover is applied to the Viva, with a raised ride height, silver roof rails, butch bumpers front and back, skid pads, bigger wheel arches and 15″ bi-color alloys.

The Viva Rocks also gets a new interior, with optional R 4.0 IntelliLink offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Apple or Google Nav, as well as the option of  Navi 4.0 IntelliLink and even OnStar.

Vauxhall say the increased ride height will give the Viva Rocks improved response on uneven surfaces, but buyers will opt for it simply because it looks a bit more butch than the regular five door Viva City Car.

The Vauxhall Viva Rocks is now on sale at Vauxhall’s dealers from £11,530.
