The Opel Trixx (stylised as TRIXX) is a concept city car created by the German car manufacturer Opel. It was unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show.

It was a brief set out by Opel CEO Carl-Peter Forster to designers at Opel and Saab Design studios, and was led by executive director of design Martin Smith and chief designer Stefan Arndt and built at Corrozzeria Coggiola in Italy, Trixx influenced future Small Car Designs for the Opel Brand, e.g. the 2007 Opel Agila.

The 3m long car features and asymmetrical door layout with one pantograph door on the driver side, and one pantograph door plus a sliding power on the passenger side, together with a sliding roof hatch for large cargo. A cycle rack is concealed in a pull out rear bumper feature.

The Trixx is powered by a 1.3 L diesel engine with common rail direct injection. This gives the Trixx a claimed top speed of 70 mph (112.6 km/h).

The Trixx featured a "flex 3" layout with seating for 3 adults plus a child on a folding seat, or convert to a 1 seater plus large 1,010 litre luggage area. The rear passenger seat is inflatable to save space when not in use, and is inflated when pulling up the head restraint.
