Opel Umhlanga Have Moved
When it arrives at the new home of CMH GM Umhlanga, 115 Flanders Drive, the new Opel ADAM will represent the first of a number of new-generation Opel vehicles destined for South Africa. Developed as part of the brand's resurgent product and technological onslaught, the ADAM shows off Opel's new design direction bolstered by a multitude of personalisation options.
Positioned as an urban trend-setter and personalisation champion, Opel's entry into the luxury mini segment is set to shake up the market with a comprehensive offering of standard safety equipment, infotainment and convenience features usually reserved for more premium-priced vehicles.
"The Opel ADAM is the first of our 'new Germans'; a vehicle which truly embodies Opel's heritage of precision German-engineered, desirable cars with attractive design and the latest technology. ADAM takes things a step further by appealing to the modern buyer who wants to stand out in a crowd with a highly customisable and affordable package," says Opel Brand Manager at General Motors South Africa, Christopher Cradock.
Built at Opel's plant in Eisenach, Germany, the ADAM is an A-segment, 3-door, 4-seat hatchback with a high level of customer-related equipment. Opel has placed firm emphasis on providing class-leading ergonomics and interior materials, fun-to-drive dynamics, great technology and an overall premium build quality.
Two petrol engines power the Opel ADAM - the entry-level ADAM features a naturally-aspirated 1.4-litre ECOTEC four-cylinder unit with 74 kW and 130 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. This engine, which has a combined fuel consumption figure of 5.3-litres per 100 km, allows for a top speed of 185 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.5 seconds.
