Opel Grandland, a maxi SUV from the German brand, arrives on the scene with a new generation. The relationship with the Opel Experimental concept car is evident, which is the source of inspiration for some design choices, including the 3D Vizor with the Blitz logo illuminated in the center and the words “Opel” perpetually illuminated on the back. The innovations, however, do not just stop at the surface but also go deeper, starting from the STLA Medium platformnative BEV, and with a flat battery configuration that allows for a capacity of 98 kWh.
The aesthetic innovations of the Opel Grandland
Opel Grandland it stands with a remarkable size, which instills solidity at first glance. The alloy wheels up to 20 inches contribute to this aspect of robustness, completing the overall image harmoniously. The characteristic element of the car, however, is the Vizor 3D, the face, made more evident by Edge Light technology. This type of style is called “Opel Compass”, the compass, introduced with the Experimental concept car. It is based on the central crease of the bonnet, with all other elements organized horizontally with the emblem “Electrified Blitz” in the center.
Another new feature are the Intelli-Lux Pixel Matrix HD, a technology that debuts on the Opel Grandland. The system guarantees over 51,200 elements for high definition light distribution and projects a much brighter and more homogeneous light beam than Matrix Light Standard, allowing other road users not to be dazzled. A sophisticated mechanism, which reacts with traffic and surrounding road conditions, through the use of cameras.
The dimensions:
- Length: 4650mm;
- Width: 1905mm;
- Height: 1660 mm
- Wheelbase of 2,784 mm
The cockpit
The passenger compartment, however, was designed to be large and comfortable, as well as very modern. It is no coincidence, therefore, that digitalisation is a fundamental part of this space, starting from 16” central display slightly oriented towards the driver and with a fully digital instrument panel located behind the steering wheel. Also present the Intelli-HUD head-up displayto keep an eye on the route at all times.
Autonomy of 700 kilometers
The new Opel Grandland it is the first car of theBlitz” to enjoy the benefits of STLA Medium platform made by Stellantis, while the recent Frontera should use the STLA Small. Thanks to this architecture, the new flat battery pack up to 98 kWh and energy saving functions such as the heat pump, the electric motor of the German SUV reaches a range of 700 kilometres (WLTP cycle). This new vehicle also allows you to recharge quite quickly, in fact in a public fast charging station, it takes just 26 minutes to reach 80% of the battery.
Many also safety devices, the SUV produced in Germany, in fact, sports a long list of standard ADAS:
