Vauxhall's urban mini-crossover set for debut at Geneva

Previewed as a concept last year, the latest edition to Vauxhall's Adam range will debut at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show. Compared with other members of the Adam family, the Adam Rocks is taller, wider and tougher in appearance, while also offering a full length electric folding canvas roof.

Drawing inspiration from agile parkour athletes, the new crossover body style is supported by a chassis that is raised by 15mm with a wider stance.

The higher, wider looks are matched by a choice of 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels - which can be further personalised with new wheel clips in 'Wild' design and different colours.

Protective, anthracite-coloured cladding is wrapped tightly around the Adam Rocks, giving it a tough, muscular look. An integrated rear roof spoiler and LED daytime running lights also come as standard.

The button operated electric folding canvas roof folds back neatly on to the C-pillars in just five seconds - without hindering body stiffness or the car's functionality. The entire roof module is acoustically tuned for noise insulation inside the cabin, and the robust three-layer fabric has a neoprene centre for weather proofing and durability.

The Adam Rocks reverberates with its own distinctive character while one interior trim is directly lifted from the concept unveiled last year - with elegant-sporty Peanut-coloured fabric/Morrocana seats and door panels, leather steering wheel, gearshift and handbrake in the same colour, and a 'Surf' decor trim.

The Adam Rocks is the first model to feature the firm's new turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine which packs up to 113bhp and low end torque of 166Nm. The new three-cylinder powerhouse is mated to an all new six-speed manual gearbox with a compact package design.

Like its Adam siblings, Rocks is one of the best connected small cars around thanks to its Intelilink infotainment system which allows seamless integration of Android as well as Apple iOS smartphone functionalities into the car. The integration of Apple iOS devices into the system enables Siri Eyes Free voice control which makes it possible for drivers to have text to speech capabilities and to dictate messages without getting distracted while driving.
