New Opel Grandland
The new Opel Grandland celebrated its world premiere in Eisenach this spring. The general public could see it up close for the first time at the festivities marking 125 years of automotive production in Rüsselsheim. And now Opel’s new top-of-the-line SUV “made in Germany” is available to order – with three electrified drivetrains right from the start.
One thing all Grandland variants have in common: They all offer numerous innovative technologies, clever features and sustainable solutions along with a stunning appearance thanks to the new 3D Vizor with illuminated Blitz emblem. With the groundbreaking Opel Experimental, Opel illustrated the brand’s path into the future – the new Opel Grandland already makes many visionary innovations a reality.
Electrifying newcomer: Stunning SUV with practical solutions
Stylish and dynamic, spacious and versatile with a fully electrified drivetrain portfolio – this is the new Opel Grandland. The 3D Vizor with illuminated Blitz logo proudly sitting at the centre immediately attracts the eye while the permanently illuminated “OPEL” lettering at the rear makes a clear statement. The visual highlights underline the impressive stance of the largest Opel SUV. The new Grandland generation has a vehicle length of 4.65 metres, a width of around 1.93 metres and a height of 1.66 metres. This makes the new Grandland 173 millimetres longer, 36 millimetres higher and 49 millimetres wider than its predecessor. This increase in size benefit both the passengers and the luggage compartment. The 2,795-millimetre long wheelbase and the steeply sloping tailgate increase the space available. Passengers in the second row benefit from 20 millimetres more legroom. The rear seats can be folded down 40:20:40 and thus, create a load volume of up to 1,645 litres.
In the cockpit the slightly driver-oriented 10- or 16-inch central display and high centre console generate a sporty feeling. Behind the steering wheel, a discrete wide and fully digital cluster provides essential information, allowing the driver to focus on the pleasure of driving and, in combination with the Intelli-HUD head-up display, avoiding the need to take their eyes off the road. Drivers also have the option of triggering the Pure Mode. This reduces the content on the driver information cluster and the central display and ensures even less distraction when driving at night or at high speeds. In typical Opel tradition, frequently used settings such as climate control can also be operated intuitively via a few remaining buttons.
The ergonomic seats with individually adjustable side cushions, certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V., also ensure pure and, above all, relaxed driving pleasure. The patented Intelli-Seat ergonomics feature is already standard on all front seats. And true to Opel’s “Greenovation” approach, 100 per cent of fabrics and coverings in the interior are made from materials with recycled content.
Practical and innovative solutions such as the Pixel Box, which comes as standard depending on the trim level, also make the journey more enjoyable. With the illuminated translucid glass and the fabric wrapping, this element not only enhances the visual appeal of the console – it is also highly functional. The wireless smartphone charger is located behind the glass so that devices can be charged while being stored safely. The constant visibility of the smartphone also helps to ensure that it is not forgotten in the vehicle when leaving the Grandland. Storage compartments such as the phone pockets in the backrests of the front seats or the large storage under the central console which also accommodates a 12V socket represent further clever storage space.
Elsewhere, Opel’s new top-of-the-line SUV comes with an extensive array of driver assistance systems including Automatic Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Adaptation, and In Crash Braking. Parking and manoeuvring is also made easier by park pilots at front and rear, the rear-view camera with automatic cleaning function and the 360-degree Intelli-Vision camera. And the glare-free Intelli-Lux HD light, which for the first time in the new Grandland has more than 50,000 elements, increases safety when driving in the dark.
