Opel Karl OPC Hot Hatch Rendered

Opel’s new Karl hatch, which will also be offered in the UK as the Vauxhall Viva and potentially here as the Holden Viva, has been given a virtual going-over.

Revealed on Wednesday, the Karl will soon enter the European market as a more practical and affordable alternative to the three-door Adam hatch.

The two cars ride on the same platform and share the same 3.68mm length, but five doors and a taller roof are likely to give the Karl some space of its own in the global GM range. (If it comes here, it would likely replace the Barina Spark.)
