The German manufacturer Opel continues to update its model range, and the flagship Grandland crossover is next. This novelty received an expressive design and modern technical innovations.
Without chrome
The Grandland became the first production Opel model with an illuminated emblem and a 3D Vizor front panel using Edge Light technology. All headlights are energy-efficient LEDs, including adaptive Intelli-Lux HD Light.
For the first time, an illuminated Opel logo appeared on the car, and the model name is no longer executed in chrome letters, but stamped in the center of the rear door.
Practical, comfortable, rational
Opel engineers and designers paid special attention to saving resources and reducing the carbon footprint, while not forgetting style and comfort. The interior of Grandland is made in a minimalist style, and the Intelli seats with a special notch provide comfort during trips. All trim materials contain recycled materials, which are used to manufacture the seats, door panels, instrument panel and center console.
The car makes extensive use of recycled materials, including aluminum and steel. More than 40 polymer components consist of 80% "green" materials, and in total, more than 500 kg of Grandland's mass is recycled materials.
Electrification
Opel also implemented environmental innovations in the power units of the Grandland. All versions of the crossover are electrified: a classic hybrid (HEV), a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or a fully electric version (BEV). This became possible thanks to the STLA platform from the Stellantis concern, which is specially designed for electric vehicles. Grandland Electric can cover up to 700 km without recharging according to the WLTP cycle, and a high-efficiency heat pump is included as standard, which ensures stable battery operation.
In addition, Opel has implemented a battery reuse program that includes repair, recovery, reuse and recycling. A Battery Shop was created at the Eisenach plant to give used batteries a "second life".
