VIVA SR

The VIVA SR (or SR Aero) was a mid-size liftback from VIVA and was sold from mid-2001 to to 2006.

1st gen (2002-2006)
The SR was based on the 2001 Renault Laguna, and therefore, this can be; as someone could tell, the Laguna for the American market. On it's first year of production, it sold near 32,000 units. It was really known for having a spacious interior and boot space. It used the Laguna's Start/Stop ignition system beginning from 2003. In 2004, because of VIVA's logo and design language changed, it was facelifted. Because of declining sales, it was discontinued in 2006 and was replaced by the VT5, which was sold as a mid-size sedan.

Trivia
