A production-ready Vauxhall ADAM ROCKS will be given its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next month. The rugged mini-crossover extends the ADAM range and also introduces a full-length electric folding canvas roof. The ROCKS is taller and wider than the standard city car and comes with protective anthracite-coloured cladding which helps give it a rough and tough look.

The electronic canvas roof is operated via a button located in the front area of the headliner and folds back neatly on to the C-pillars in just five seconds. Boot space is entirely unaffected by the open roof and it also has no impact on body stiffness. The canvas roof option comes in a choice of three exterior colours – Black, Sweet Coffee or Light Oak – that combine with the different roof colours of the ROCKS.

Sitting 15mm higher than the standard ADAM, the ROCKS also comes with a retuned suspension and customers can select from a choice of 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels.

The recently announced all-new 1.0-litre ECOTEC three-cylinder engine will make its debut on the ADAM ROCKS, available in a choice of 90PS and 115PS power outputs, the engine is joined by a 1.2-litre engine with 70PS and a 1.4-litre available in two power outputs, 87PS and 100PS.

As with the ADAM, the ROCKS arrives as one of the most connected models in its segment, from just £275, the ROCKS comes with the Intelilink infotainment system which seamlessly links to either iOS or Android operating systems. It provides USB and Bluetooth connectivity, audio streaming, a seven-inch colour touchscreen display and seven speakers.

“ADAM ROCKS combines the toughness of a crossover with the coolness of open air driving,” said Stuart Harris, Vauxhall’s Head of Carline Brand. “It’s the perfect ADAM for active drivers wanting to stand out from the crowd.”

The brand’s penchant for cheesy colour namesremains with the confirmation that a range of new exterior paint colours will be introduced, starting with ‘Goldbusters’ pictured above.
