Opel Adam generations

The Opel Adam has one generation in the catalogue. The 1 generation ran from September 2012 to December 2019 and used the Mini 3-doors body. It contains nine versions: four distinct 1.4 MT entries, two 1.0 MT entries, one 1.2 MT, one 1.4 MTA, and one 1.4 AT. Versions sharing the same name are distinguished below by power and fuel type.

Opel Adam engine specs

The 1.0 MT with 115 hp uses direct injection and produces 166 Nm from 1800–4700 rpm. The 1.0 MT with 90 hp also uses direct injection, producing 170 Nm from 1800–3700 rpm. Both are Turbo three-cylinder Inline engines, but their recorded capacities differ slightly at 998 and 999 cm³.

Among the 1.4 MT versions, the Turbo 1364 cm³ engine is the most powerful at 150 hp and 220 Nm. The naturally aspirated Gasoline alternatives use 1398 cm³ engines with 87 or 100 hp, while the LPG 1.4 MT produces 87 hp and 125 Nm. Every listed engine has 4 valves per cylinder and a compression ratio of 10.5.

Opel Adam performance, fuel consumption and mpg data

The quickest recorded Opel Adam is the 150 hp 1.4 MT, reaching 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h. It is 1.4 seconds quicker to 100 km/h and 14 km/h faster than the 115 hp 1.0 MT.

For the lowest recorded consumption, the 90 hp 1.0 MT leads with 5.5 l/100 km in the city, 3.9 l/100 km on the highway, and 4.5 l/100 km combined. Its combined figure is 0.6 l/100 km lower than that of the 115 hp 1.0 MT and 1.4 l/100 km lower than that of the 150 hp 1.4 MT. Consumption expressed in mpg is not measured in the supplied data; the available figures are recorded only in l/100 km.

The 1.4 MTA and 1.4 AT have no measured acceleration, top-speed, or fuel-consumption figures in the catalogue data. CO₂ output is likewise not measured for most versions. The recorded exceptions are 105 for the 90 hp 1.0 MT, 125 for the 100 hp 1.4 MT, and 139 for the 150 hp 1.4 MT.

Opel Adam dimensions, weight and wheel sizes

Overall exterior dimensions and cargo-space dimensions are not measured in the supplied data. The available size-related specifications cover kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, fuel-tank capacity, and selected wheel sizes.

The lightest version is the 1.2 MT at 1086 kg, while the 87 hp LPG 1.4 MT and the 150 hp 1.4 MT are the heaviest at 1178 kg. That makes them 92 kg heavier than the 1.2 MT. The highest recorded gross weight is 1565 kg for the 150 hp 1.4 MT.

Ground clearance is either 125 or 140 mm where measured. Every version has a 38 l fuel tank. Wheel sizes are measured only for the 90 hp 1.0 MT and the 100 hp 1.4 MT; both list 185/65 R15, 195/55 R16, and 215/45 R17.

All versions use Independent, spring front suspension and Semi-independent rear suspension. Ventilated disc front brakes are standard across the recorded range. Rear brakes are Drum on every version except the 150 hp 1.4 MT, which has Disc rear brakes.

Opel Adam automatic, sport and economy choices

For maximum recorded performance, choose the 150 hp 1.4 MT. Its Turbo engine develops 220 Nm, reaches 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 210 km/h. Compared with the naturally aspirated 100 hp 1.4 MT, it adds 50 hp and 90 Nm, cuts the acceleration time by 3 seconds, and raises top speed by 25 km/h.

For the lowest measured fuel consumption, the 90 hp 1.0 MT is the strongest numerical choice. It records 4.5 l/100 km combined while still producing 170 Nm. The 115 hp 1.0 MT offers 25 hp more and reaches 100 km/h 2 seconds sooner, although its combined consumption is 0.6 l/100 km higher.

For the lightest Opel Adam, choose the 1.2 MT at 1086 kg. Its 70 hp output, 14.9-second acceleration time, and 165 km/h top speed also make it the least performance-focused version among those with measured performance.

Drivers seeking an Opel Adam automatic can choose the 1.4 AT, which combines an 85 hp Gasoline engine with an Automatic 5-speed gearbox. The 1.4 MTA instead uses a 5-speed Robotic gearbox and produces 87 hp. Performance and consumption are not measured for either version, so the available data cannot support a numerical economy or acceleration comparison between them.

For a 1.4 MT with moderate measured consumption, the 87 hp Gasoline version and the 100 hp version both record 5.3 l/100 km combined. The 100 hp car reaches 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds, one second sooner than the 87 hp Gasoline version, and its 185 km/h top speed is 9 km/h higher. The LPG 1.4 MT also produces 87 hp, but it has 125 Nm rather than 130 Nm and records 6.9 l/100 km combined.
