The car’s outgoing personality is further emphasized by an 18-mm increase in ride height enabling enhanced visibility and a better ground clearance. Therefore, Opel KARL ROCKS can also venture off asphalt roads and negotiate uneven surfaces. Furthermore, the 18-mm increase facilitates ingress and egress.
The outdoor character created by the exterior design continues on the inside of the car with front door sill plates and the high gloss frame for the infotainment system The optional Radio R 4.0 IntelliLink system brings the world of smartphones to the Opel KARL ROCKS via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. As of this summer, buyers in search of an integrated navigation system can order the urban rocker with the Navi 4.0 IntelliLink system.

However, Opel KARL ROCKS has much more to offer than its enticing looks
and stylish interior – it is also just as practical as the Opel KARL.
Four doors guarantee easy access to the front and rear seats while the
five seats ensure that even families can enjoy Opel’s SUV-inspired mini
car. And when needed, the rear seats, with a 40/60 split as standard,
can be folded down completely giving the Opel KARL ROCKS an impressive total
trunk space of exactly 1,013 liters.
Under the hood, the Opel KARL ROCKS shares the 1.0 liter, three cylinder
gasoline engine (NEDC fuel consumption: urban 5.6-5.2 l/100 km,
extra-urban 4.2-4.0 l/100 km, combined 4.7-4.4 l/100 km; 106-101 g/km CO2)
of its KARL sibling The unit delivers 55 kW/75 hp and is paired to a
five-speed manual gearbox as standard.
Alternatively, Opel KARL ROCKS buyers
can choose the optional Easytronic 3.0 gearbox. The
five-speed automated transmission combines the comfort advantages of an
automatic transmission with the efficiency of a manual gearbox. It
automatically selects the appropriate gear for best possible fuel
consumption, but is based on a manual transmission optimized for smaller
engines which enables ultra-economical driving. The driver can take
manual control of Easytronic 3.0 at any time by pulling or pushing the
gear selector lever.
Furthermore, the Opel KARL ROCKS also caters for customers looking for an
alternative fuel offering and is available with the 1.0 LPG ecoFLEX ex
works (NEDC LPG consumption: urban 7.1 l/100 km, extra-urban 5.2 l/100
km, combined 5.9 l/100 km; 95 g/km CO2; NEDC fuel consumption: urban 5.8 l/100 km, extra-urban 4.1 l/100 km, combined 4.7 l/100 km; 108 g/km CO2).
When ordered in this combination, owners can cover a total distance of
1,019 kilometers (in accordance with NEDC) between visits to the filling
station thanks to the 32-liter gasoline and the 20-liter LPG tanks.
Elsewhere, Opel’s wild child comes with all of the safety and comfort
features available in the regular Opel KARL. City mode reduces steering
effort at the push of a button, greatly facilitating maneuvering in
heavy city traffic. Park Assist is also available and assists the driver
during parking by giving an acoustic warning as the car approaches
obstacles when reversing. Cruise control with speed limiter regulates
driving speeds, which is extremely helpful in busy urban traffic and in
residential areas.
