Opel Karl Revealed: Holden Viva Reborn?

GM’s new city car, to be sold in the UK as the Vauxhall Viva and elsewhere as the Opel Karl, has been unveiled in Europe this week.

The new model, which was first teased back in September, will enter both line-ups as a more conventional - and perhaps more affordable - companion to the (very) compact Adam hatch that launched in 2013.

At just 3.68 metres long, the Karl (or Viva, if one prefers) is around 20mm shorter than the Adam.
