The Opel Rocks is engineered for practicality in urban environments. Its compact dimensions make it agile for navigating tight city streets and fitting into small parking spaces. The vehicle is designed to be straightforward, focusing on essential features for an enjoyable driving experience.
Inside, the two-seater cabin incorporates the Opel Vizor design theme in the steering wheel, which displays a white Opel Blitz on a black background. Despite its classification as a light motor vehicle, the Rocks comes equipped with features not always standard in its class, such as a panoramic sunroof and tempered safety glass for all windows. For enhanced visibility in various conditions, modern LED headlights are included as standard.
Powering the Rocks is an all-electric system that allows for a range of up to 75 kilometers on a single charge, with a maximum speed of 45 km/h. Recharging is convenient, utilizing a standard household electrical outlet; the charging cable is cleverly integrated behind the passenger door for easy access. This emphasis on ease of use extends to the ordering process, with customers in Germany able to configure and order their Rocks directly through the opel.de website.
Opel, part of Stellantis NV, has a history of automobile manufacturing dating back to 1899 in Germany and is committed to providing affordable and future-oriented mobility solutions. The brand is notable for being the first German manufacturer to offer all its models with a fully electric drive option. The new Rocks further solidifies Opel’s dedication to accessible electric mobility, particularly for younger drivers and those seeking a simple, emissions-free solution for city travel.
