Opel’s funky urban car known as ADAM will make its debut at
the Paris Motor Show in September this year and will be initially offered in
three petrol variants with highly customisable trim options available to
sweeten the package.
The trim options are available in three “moods or worlds”
which include JAM which is colourful and fashionable, GLAM which is elegant and
refined and lastly SLAM which is sporty and energetic. All three trim options
are available in a variety of colour and décor combinations to suit personal
taste.
In terms of engine power, three petrol engines will be available and these include a 51kW/70hp 1.2-litre unit, 64kW/87hp 1.4-litre unit and a 74kW/100hp 1.4-litre unit. All these variants will make use of a five-speed manual transmission. All the powertrains include Opel’s Ecoflex pack which includes Start/Stop technology. A turbocharged unit with direct injection and a six-speed manual transmission will be available at a later stage.
The interior has room for four even though ADAM is only 3.7
meters in length. The infotainment system is able to integrate with a
smartphone and displays chosen content on a 7-inch full colour touch screen.
The ADAM also comes with Bluetooth and USB connectivity for other devices such
as MP3 players, iPods and tablets. Customers have a choice of between 15” and
18” rims.
From the looks of it, the Opel ADAM is set to do well
following its launch at the Paris Motor Show but there are no current plans for
the ADAM to be introduced into the South African car market. I think the ADAM
will do well in South Africa, what do you think?
