The compact SUV Opel Grandland takes design elements from the Opel Experimental concept Demonstrations

The Rüsselsheim car manufacturer lifts the curtain onOpel Grandland the new generation.

Opel compact SUV depends plate-forme STLA Medium specifically for battery electric models (BEV).

Opel Grandland offers many stylistic elements originally appeared on Concept-car Opel Experimental. These features include a 3D belt with an illuminated Blitz logo in the center of the front and a fully illuminated “Opel” text on the rear.

Lighting system Intelli-Lux Pixel HDwith over 50,000 individual cells and a flat battery design that allows the use of a 98 kWh batteryare other features of Grandland Electric.

With a 98 kWh battery, the Grandland Electric can travel up to 700 km without local emissions (according to the WLTP standard).

Charging the battery to 80% capacity at a public terminal takes 26 minutes at a fast terminal.

The Grandland is also available with a plug-in hybrid (Grandland Plug-in Hybrid) and 48-volt hybrid motors (Grandland Hybrid).

Grandland takes its place at the head of Opel’s SUV range.

Grandland was designed and developed in Rüsselsheim and will be built in Eisenach.

MEASUREMENTS

Thanks to its extra length of 173 mm, 19 mm in height and 64 mm in width compared to its predecessor, the Grandland measures 4,650 mm in length, 1,905 mm in width and 1,660 mm in height.

The Opel SUV sits on up to 20-inch alloy wheels.

EXTERIOR STRUCTURE

The Opel compact SUV sports Opel’s new front fascia implementation called the 3D Vizor. This feature is associated with the shiny Opel logo, made more prominent thanks to the Edge Light technology.

The Grandland takes the “Opel Compass” design that the Experimental concept car introduced. It builds on the aesthetic principle of the center fold, with all the elements arranged horizontally with the “Electrified Blitz” logo in the middle.

With a two-tone floating roof and contrasting trim, the Grandland is visually elevated.

The general structure of the body is formed when water remains.

The sharp lines of the wheel arches visually help to push the wheels out.

VERY DESIGNED INSIDE

Architecturally, the interior layout emphasizes balance, with lines running across the dashboard to the doors.

The 16-inch central screen is slightly oriented towards the driver.

Behind the wheel, a full digital instrument cluster provides important information, allowing the driver to focus on driving and, with the Intelli-HUD head-up display, avoid the need to leave the road.

The driver has the option to manually or automatically start the “Clean” mode. This mode reduces the amount of information on the instrument dial, head-up display and central screen, which further prevents distractions when driving at night or in the rain.

Frequently used settings, such as climate control, can be controlled intuitively using physical buttons.

Side air vents are attached to the door, visually enhancing the width of the dashboard.

The top of the dashboard has a technical look. It is visually divided into two surface finishes.

Below, the “edge light”, based on the technology used on the Vizor, increases the precise execution of color and light and is emphasized by the indirect light on the dashboard and door inserts.

The central part of the dashboard is wrapped in fabric and extends visually over the doors.

INTERNAL SPACE

The 2,784 mm wheelbase and vertical tailgate allow for increased space in the cabin and trunk.

The rear seats can be folded in a 40/20/40 ratio, giving a cargo volume of up to 1,641 litres.

AGR ERGONOMIC SEATS

Certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. (“Back health organization”), AGR Opel ergonomic seats have a shock absorption system by integrating motorized cushions. This function greatly improves lateral comfort thanks to two adjustable pneumatic bags located on the side bolsters of the backrest. The seats also provide ventilation and massage functions for the driver.

SHOCK ABSORBERS WITH FREQUENCY SELECTIVE DAMPING (FSD) TECHNOLOGY

The Grandland benefits from shock absorbers featuring Constant Damping (FSD) technology. This technology has a second hydraulic circuit in the shock absorber tube to deal with damping according to the shock cycle. Depending on the conditions, road conditions and driving style, it allows the properties of dirt to be different for driving well at high speed (on stones or pothole cover for example) or when driving at low speed. The Grandland reacts more quickly and directly to driver inputs and remains stable when braking in corners or at high speeds.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

A range of standard driver assistance systems on the Grandland include automatic cruise control with Stop & Go, advanced traffic sign recognition, intelligent cruise control or automatic brake assist.

Adjusting the recommended speed allows you to slow down the vehicle when a new limit is detected or increase the speed to this limit.

The Intelli-Drive 2.0 system, which integrates many electronic assistance systems and combines them with semi-automatic lane change assistance and adaptive cruise control, is available as an option. If the path is clear, the assistant directs the Grandland to the desired path using light movements of the steering wheel.

Parking and maneuvering are made easy with front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera with automatic cleaning function and a 360-degree Intelli-Vision camera.

SYSTEMS INTELLI-LUX PIXEL MATRIX HD

The Intelli-Lux Pixel Matrix HD system has more than 50,000 LED segments (51,200 to be precise, or 25,600 per side) for optimal distribution of high-quality light.

Depending on the traffic situation, objects are detected by the camera.

The Intelli-Lux Pixel Matrix HD system precisely cuts detected objects to produce a bright, even glow, while ensuring that other road users are not illuminated.
