2015 Vauxhall Adam Rocks Air Debuting at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show

2015 Vauxhall Adam Rocks Air shares the same postmodern target customer as Adam. These are stylish, trend-setters who are very image-conscious. Such individuals want a vehicle that expresses their personality and individuality. This group is predominately under 35 and pre-family and is split 60:40 female to male. These young urbanites also influence other more mainstream buying groups outside of the auto sector. Debuting at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Rocks Air has a bespoke body style, offering the same contemporary style as the original Adam but with the toughness of a crossover and the coolness of an electric folding canvas roof. Being first to market means there is no direct competitor to Adam Rocks Air, giving this latest new Vauxhall the opportunity to grow the Adam range even further. However elements of the Rocks Air can be seen in the MINI Paceman (as it also combines the qualities of both an SUV and a coupe) and the Fiat 500 Cabrio, with its folding roof.

Compared with other members of the Adam family, Rocks Air is taller, wider and tougher in appearance, while also offering an electric folding canvas roof. Adam Rocks Air's new crossover body style is supported by a chassis that is raised 15mm and has a wider stance. Agile parkour athletes, who move from one place to another, negotiating urban obstacles in between, were the inspiration for this sporty crossover. Parts of the chassis have been modified or re-tuned - including dampers, springs, the rear suspension geometry and steering. The higher, wider looks are matched by a choice of standard 17-inch or optional 18-inch alloy wheels. These can be further personalised with new wheel clips in "Wild" design and different colours that are unique to Rocks Air.

Rocks Air's cabin has its own distinctive character. Two new, exclusive Rocks Air interior trims have been created. They include a main instrument cluster, seat and door panel colours and other trim elements - all unique to Rocks. One trim is taken directly from the Adam Rocks Air concept car revealed last year: it has Brandy-coloured fabric/Morrocana seats and door panels, leather steering wheel, gearshift and handbrake in the same colour, and "Surf" décor trim. The other trim features a sophisticated Coffee Bean design - rich dark brown seats in a black cabin trimmed with bright blue stitching.

Adam Rocks Air is the first Vauxhall to feature the all-new 1.0-litre ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo three-cylinder engine. This high-tech unit raises the bar for three-cylinder engine refinement and packs 115PS, with impressive low-end torque of 170Nm from just 1800rpm. State-of-the-art technologies include high-pressure direct fuel injection, an ultra-compact turbocharging system, continuously variable valve timing (intake and exhaust sides) and a switchable water pump.

The new 1.0-litre ECOTEC capacity belies its strong performance. Top speed is 121mph with 0-60mph reached in just 9.9 seconds. A strong mid-range, particularly between 50 to 70mph, illustrates an abundance of torque, meaning that drivers needn't rely on high revs to extract the most from the engine. Despite the new 1.0-litre's performance, it achieves 55.4mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emission of 119g/km. The new three-cylinder unit already complies with future Euro 6 emission standards.
