This world premiere is simply electrifying: Opel will revolutionize
electric mobility at this year’s Paris Motor Show with the Ampera-e.
From October 1-16, the new electric car makes its first major appearance
in hall 5-2, booth 501. The superstar of the show offers a range of
over 500 kilometers (electric range, measured based on the NEDC in
kilometers: >500, preliminary figures), 100 kilometers more than its
rivals in the segment, and it also impressively shows how well
sustainability and driving fun can create a harmonious unit. Other
highlights from the Rüsselsheim-based automaker at the “Mondial de l'Automobile 2016”
include the adventurous MOKKA X and the new Zafira – the fully
connected lounge on wheels. Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann will also
reveal two further stars of the show in the Opel KARL ROCKS and the sporty,
elegant special model Opel Cascada Supreme.
“With the new Ampera-e, we continue the largest model offensive in
the history of our company,” says Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann. “Our
show exhibit clearly shows the direction of development: the Ampera-e
with its outstanding range proves that electric mobility is fully
feasible for everyday use and is also lots of fun. The models Opel MOKKA X,
Opel Zafira and Opel KARL ROCKS expand our portfolio with the ideal touch of
adventure and individuality.”
E like extreme acceleration: Ampera-e with power of a sports car
The maximum torque of 360 Nm is responsible for the electrifying
temperament of the new Opel. The performance of the electric engine is
equivalent to 150 kW/204 hp. Effortless starts from a standing position
(such as at traffic lights) or highway access are two of the Opel
Ampera-e’s main strengths. The compact electric car covers the sprint
from zero to 50 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, a value on par with
sportscars. In addition, it completes mid-range acceleration from 80 to
120 km/h, which is especially important for overtaking, in just 4.5
seconds (provisional figures). The Ampera-e thus performs at the same
level as OPC models, Opel’s sporty spearheads.

New Opel Ampera-e offers space for up to five people and a trunk volume of 381 liters. |
A real adventure with X Factor: Opel MOKKA X
Another shining star in Paris is the new Opel MOKKA X. The compact
SUV is wider and has a more solid and masculine stance than its
successful predecessor – it has everything it takes to become an
absolute customer favorite. The sporty, robust SUV turns heads with its
newly designed front while its interior impresses with its functional
and neatly arranged instrument panel. It looks both simpler and purer,
as well as sharper and more precise in its execution. MOKKA X drivers
can choose between various state-of-the-art versions of the new
generation of the IntelliLink infotainment system; in addition, there is
top connectivity with Opel OnStar. Another one of the MOKKA X’s
highlights is its superb optional adaptive 4x4 drive system with
electronic, multi-disk clutch. It can seamlessly distribute power
between the front and rear axle from 100:0 to 50:50. This increases
safety, optimizes fuel economy and significantly boosts driving
pleasure.
Lounge on wheels with top connectivity: Opel Zafira in new look
Visitors to the Opel booth can also get an up-close look at all the
new Zafira’s stand-out qualities. The lounge on wheels doesn’t just rely
on the tried and true qualities of its predecessor such as the Flex7
seating system, the AGR-certified ergonomic front seats (Aktion
Gesunder Rücken e.V. – Campaign for Healthier Backs), the FlexFix®
bicycle carrier and the adaptive FlexRide chassis. The new Zafira also
features a new, bold exterior design and a re-designed interior with an
especially spacious ambience and superb connectivity. Depending on the
end device, Opel’s newest-generation IntelliLink infotainment system is
compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And for the first
time in this vehicle class, Opel offers the latest-generation Adaptive
Forward Lighting AFL with Full LED technology as an option. This all makes
the new Zafira a comfortable travelling lounge for driver and
passengers.
Ready for the urban jungle: Opel KARL ROCKS
Opel unveils the KARL ROCKS in Paris as a special attraction for all
urbanites. Opel’s new wild child features many characteristics of a true
SUV and shares many virtues connected with this vehicle class such as
an elevated seating position that enables better visibility, easier
access to the cabin and an outstanding connectivity offer. Its rugged
exterior features silver roof rails, robust front and rear bumpers with
integrated skid plates, black front and rear wheelhouse moldings and
unique 15-inch bi-color look alloy wheels. Furthermore, the new Opel
KARL ROCKS maintains the unquestionable practicality of the Opel KARL
with five doors, five seats, compact dimensions and a maximum trunk
space over 1,000 liters up to the roof making it the ideal vehicle for a
broad audience of city dwellers.
Black beauty: Opel Cascada Supreme
The new Cascada Supreme – an all-season convertible with extra flair –
will also be in the spotlight at the Opel booth. Every detail and every
shade of color of the special model is finely matched. Soon the
four-seat convertible can be ordered either in “Pull Me Over Red”,
“Summit White” or “Black Meet Kettle”. The black grille, black mirrors
and the two-tone glossy-black 20-inch alloy wheels uniquely accent these
three exterior colors. Inspired by the glowing red signature line of
Opel‘s futuristic design study, the Opel GT Concept, the seams of the seat fabrics and the door and cockpit trims are accented in sporty red.
