VIVA VR44

The VIVA VR44 is a mini MPV made by VIVA Automobiles.

1st gen (2011-2013)
The 1st generation VR44 was based on a modified Honda Fit platform. It was part of a small controversy explained then later by VIVA, that the VR33 was bigger but with a lower name, it meant, that the VR44 had a higher number but smaller size. The 1st generation VR44 was available in 3-door and 5-door body styles. A cancelled variant of the VR44, the e-Cross, a rugged and off-road ready version of the 5-door variant, was planned and made, but only was made as a show car, it never entered production. It's rivals at it's time were mainly the Chevrolet Spark and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
