Opel, the popular German automotive subsidiary of the best selling General Motors brand, has a fleet of newcomers poised to take centre stage in 2013.
Neatly divided between cool convertible additions to tried and tested models and a rare few authentic introductions to the Opel stable, the newcomers are likely to strike a chord with diverse segments of the motoring fraternity.
Brand new Opel models
In an effort to complement the existing portfolio of trendy Opel vehicles currently available at leading dealerships of new and used cars ? all of which feature German precision engineering, athletic body architecture and the full bouquet of safety features ? Opel intends to unveil two spanking new models, the diminutive, though certainly not dainty, Opel Mokka and the brand new baby of the pack, the Opel Adam.
Upgrades and additions to existing Opel models
Prototypes of existing model upgrades and additions were recently spotted on the test tracks in Germany, with the spotlight falling firmly on the uber-cool Opel Astra Convertible, resplendent with quintessential soft top and a handful of design enhancements, while an all-new Opel Astra Sedan has been conceived to pair up with the popular Hatchback!
Opel Mokka
Small in stature but packed with plenty of off-road punch, the five-door compact crossover SUV is likely to have fans aplenty. Available in front-wheel and four-wheel variants, the crisply designed vehicle will be available with three engine types ? 1.6 L petrol, 1.4 L turbo petrol and 1.7 L diesel ? all mated with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Although only slightly longer than the VW Golf, the Mokka has the capacity to seat five adults in comfort, while plenty of on-board technology and safety features are designed to optimise motoring in and out of the city.
Opel Adam
Notwithstanding the fact the Opel Adam has been carefully tailored to fit in under the Opel Corsa in terms of size, there is very little information on this cute city car other than it will be powered by brand new three and four cylinder engines developed in China. The three-door variant will be officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September this year. If compact, fuel efficient and manoeuvrable is your idea of inner city motoring, why not wait awhile for the all-new Opel Adam?
