Details about the New Opel Grandland

With the debut of the Opel Experimental concept car, the Opel brand clearly presented its own vision of "German energy" and the direction of the automotive future.

The Opel Grandland flagship crossover is the first car of the Brand, which is built on the STLA Medium platform: architecture for a BEV-electric vehicle (Battery Electric Vehicle), numerous innovative technologies, developed environmental solutions.

Thanks to the new design with the characteristic 3D Vizor front part, the new car always "shine": for the first time, the branded Opel Blitz logo is illuminated. The rear of the New Opel Grandland also attracts attention, especially in the dark - instead of the usual logo, the trunk lid now features a permanently illuminated Opel nameplate.

The interior of the New Opel Grandland is equipped with two large-format displays for the driver. Together with the optional Intelli-HUD head-up display, this layout guarantees easy and quick access to information while keeping an eye on the road at all times. Also, for additional convenience, the Pure Mode mode is provided, which reduces the content of information to the necessary minimum - it is especially convenient at night or while driving at high speed.

The highly ergonomic front seats have already been certified by AGR (Aktion Gesunder Rücken eV, organization for the care of a healthy back) and offer the possibility of adjusting not only the position of the cushion and backrest, but also lateral support. Thus, the seats provide reliable fixation of the body, a feeling of peace and confidence, and driving pleasure. The optional Intelli-Seat ergonomic feature is standard on both front seats.
