Opel has brought the latest addition to its crossover range at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, the Karl Rocks.
As you already know if you follow us, the Opel Karl Rocks is a crossover derivative of the Karl, which is the most affordable model in the current range of the German brand.
The Karl Rocks was designed to give Opel’s city car the look and feel of an SUV, which means that black plastic bumpers were employed, along with various ornaments that are usually fitted to SUVs. Opel raised the ride height of the Karl when it added the Rocks suffix so that the car can go over larger obstacles on its route.
The most important part of this model is that it comes with more connectivity options. Opel says that the vehicle can provide a trunk volume of up to 1,000 liters (35.3 cu ft), which is impressive, to say the least, when you think about a city dweller.
The roof also has a pair of silver-colored rails, which are fully functional and ready to fit even more things to the car. Think bike rack or luggage rack, if you do not want to fold down the rear seats and the passenger seat when you need to carry more things than usual.
Opel offers a unique upholstery for the Karl Rocks, but its interior is best enjoyed with the optional Radio R 4.0 IntelliLink multimedia unit, which features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
With the upgraded unit, users can employ Apple Maps or Google Maps as their primary source of navigation. There is also a standard navigation system integrated into the unit if your data plan or phone do not support the features mentioned above.
The German brand’s personal connectivity and service assistant inherited from the American branch of General Motors, the OnStar system, is also available on the Karl Rocks. The latter integrates many functions into this model, and all of those features were unimaginable in the segment as an OEM option until OnStar became available.
