Wheels24's spy photographers captured images of Opel’s new entry-level five-door city car – the Karl. The new model will join the automaker’s new small car family, such as its SA-bound Adam and new Corsa.
The four-door hatchback will have space for four or five passengers and will adopt a "simple design" only 3.68m long, certainly a small package.
NEW ENGINES
Engines will be be those used by the Adam - three and four-cylinder units. The new turbocharged one-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 85kW/166Nm of torque is likely to top the range.
