Opel Adam 2012–2019 car dimensions: 3698 mm long, 1720 mm wide and 1484 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,086 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 170 litres.
Higher trims offer a 7-inch colour touchscreen with IntelliLink that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for phone apps, music and navigation. Climate control is available, often as air conditioning. Cruise control and speed limiter help on longer drives. Parking sensors (rear or front-rear) give acoustic warnings, with side blind spot alert using bumper sensors to show warnings in the mirrors. City mode boosts low-speed steering. A reversing camera appears on some equipped cars. Basic driver aids like ABS and ESC are present. The cabin seats four but rear space is tight for daily city use.
Boot holds 170 litres with seats up. Fold the 50/50 split rear seats to reach 663 litres. High load lip and non-flat floor make loading bulkier items less convenient for everyday shopping or weekend bags.
Payload reaches 369 kg on the 1.2. Towing equipment can be fitted but no published braked or unbraked limits appear for this model. Sportier trims use firmer suspension. The car suits light urban duties rather than regular heavy loads or trailer work.
The cabin offers a customizable and stylish interior with multi-colour ambient lighting options and sports-style side bolsters on the front seats for support. Height-adjustable driver's seat and split-folding rear seats come as standard. A panoramic glass roof is available to brighten the space, while the Winter Pack adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel on higher grades.
Combined fuel use 5.3 l/100 km for the 1.2 petrol.
Service every 30,000 km or 1 year.
Euro NCAP 4 stars overall.
Adult occupant 87%, child 72%, pedestrian 65%, safety assist 81%.
Standard ESP, front/side/curtain airbags, seatbelt reminders all seats, hill-start assist, driver-set speed limiter.
The 1.2-litre petrol returns a combined figure of 5.3 l/100 km under the NEDC cycle, with urban use around 7.1-7.2 l/100 km and extra-urban 4.2-4.3 l/100 km. CO2 sits at 124-125 g/km. A 35- or 38-litre tank is fitted depending on the source data.
European service intervals call for maintenance every 30,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The oil-life monitor may request an earlier oil and filter change under harder use. Costs for basic services start from around the lower hundreds of euros based on typical dealer figures.
Euro NCAP awarded four stars in 2013. The structure stayed stable in the frontal crash with good knee and femur protection. Side barrier results were mostly good, though the pole test showed weaker chest protection. Standard kit includes dual front airbags, side and curtain airbags, pretensioners, load limiters, full seatbelt reminders, ESP and a speed limiter.
Keep the car with regular checks on the tyre-repair kit, as no spare wheel is standard. Body panels are fully galvanised in corrosion-prone areas. Optional packs such as park assist and blind-spot alert add everyday convenience on higher trims.
