The Vauxhall Adam's interior was awarded the best interior design award at the Automotive Interiors EXPO 2013, trumping competition from the Alfa Romeo 4C, Renault Clio, new Range Rover and Jaguar F-Type.

Elizabeth Wetzel, Interior Design Director for the Vauxhall Adam said: "The individualisation of the interior is one of the ADAM's many outstanding traits. Our small lifestyle car offers almost 82,000 combinations for interior-styling. The EXPO AWARD is a wonderful tribute to the whole Opel/Vauxhall design team."

It is not only because of the extensive use of high quality materials that are normally found in premium vehicles that the Opel / Vauxhall Adam has done on this list, but also on the groundbreaking interior that offers more customization options than any other mass-produced car today.There are 18 different decorative trim for the dashboard and doors.</font>These sub-systems for the interior can be ordered separately, so that the interior, like the exterior rim clips, can be continuously adapted to the changing taste of the owner.</font>Together with an LED light package that is used for illumination of door pockets, center console and footwells, seven different colored lighting systems can be chosen for the interior of the vehicle.</font>The owners also have a choice of eight colors to illuminate the cabin or they can choose a setting in which the color spectrum is run continuously.</font>With a second Novum industry the roof with printed headliners can be customized, one of which is even backlit with LEDs.
