With the "Karl" Opel sends its new small car to compete for the favor of the buyer. In Geneva, the Opel Karl premiered.
The completely new Karl replaces the optically never completely convincing Agila. The Opel Karl is according to Opel-looking statements "a full-fledged Opel with space for up to five passengers - plus two large crates in the trunk." Overall, the Karl accommodate up to 940 liters of luggage.
The 3.68 meter short five-door model can also be equipped with high-quality assistance systems for greater comfort and security, there has been only in higher vehicle classes. These are, for example, Lane Keeping Assist, power steering with very easy city mode, the park pilot, as well as, for example, the cruise control. The almost inflationary used phrase "technologies from the luxury class" we'll save at this point anyway.
Is powered Opel Karl of a modern 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with 55 kW / 75 hp. The smooth all-aluminum engine is to reduce the combined fuel consumption of up to 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers in connection with a five-speed manual transmission and the optional Eco package. On request is available for the micro car a camera-based lane departure warning. Like Adam and Corsa Opel also equips Karl from the Edition equipment with the City mode for power steering from. Also on board is then cruise control with speed warning.
