Opel/Vauxhall has released first details of the Trixx small car concept to be shown at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Trixx has an inflatable rear seat, sliding electric doors, and a push-button roof hatch that allows it to carry extra-long objects upright. The versatile car can carry up to three adults and a child, and as a one-seater it turns into a substantial load carrier.
