Even if the new Opel Karl rocks can be a true SUV, so the smallest of Rüsselsheim, Germany boasts but soon at the Paris Motor Show with a SUV look. The off-roaders are difficult in fashion and the city wants to make at least visually on thick trousers, to participate in this trend. So is the feeling of the SUV, there are robust bumpers front and rear with Underride Protection elements, black edges of the wheel arches and exclusive 15-inch alloy wheels in bi-colour look.
Pretty clever, what do the Opel managers here with the smallest in the portfolio: like other models also, also gets spirited now with the Opel Karl rocks smallest genuine SUV optics on the sheet metal dress. So want one with swim now also with the city on the wave of SUV success. To make that happen, the kid doesn't get only optical adjustments, such as the bumpers front and rear, which are equipped with additional Underride Protection elements, the silver deluded side skirts or the wheel arches framed with black plastic, but there's also a height lowering to 18 mm.
So, then quite sometimes easy rides in somewhat coarser grounds are no problem. In everyday life, this measure also aims for an easier entry and exit and as well as provide for better visibility. A fact that is likely to make the little ones for the tight city traffic even more popular. Also the exclusive 15-inch alloy wheels in bicolor optics are chic.
Inside, there are new seat cushions, fresh door panels and a high-gloss décor for the standard radio R 300. Who has expected to off-road modules but also under the hood will be disappointed. Not all-wheel drive nor any additional differential locks find their way under the sheet, but that would then probably also too much of a good. At the end of the year, Karl in the off-road look, which in early October will be presented at the Paris Motor Show, can be ordered then. The prices for the additional options are so far not yet known.
