Opel to replace Agila with Karl

By / 10 years ago / News / No Comments

The announcement, which follows the news that Vauxhall in the UK is to revive the “Viva” name for the same model, is made in homage to one of Adam Opel’s sons.

‘Karl is a short, snappy and catchy name that represents Opel brand values: German, emotional and approachable,’ said Tina Müller, chief marketing officer at Opel.

The new model will be positioned below the ADAM and Corsa models and will be 3.68m long with five doors and up to five seats.

No further details have been released but the brand said the model will ‘ offer the best of Opel virtues in a smart and highly practical manner’.
