Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid: Efficient Allrounder for Job and Family

• Now on display: Stylish compact class bestseller takes centre stage at IAA Mobility 2025
• On just one tank of fuel: Opel Astra Sports Tourer covers distance of more than 1,200 km
• Full choice of powertrains: From battery-electric to plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology to efficient combustion engines
• Plenty of flexible space: Travel with up to five people or 1,634 litres of loading capacity
• Made in Germany: Designed, engineered and built at Opel’s headquarters in Rüsselsheim

As a sporty, elegant company car, a comfortable, flexible leisure estate or a highly efficient ‘long-distance champion’ – the Opel Astra Sports Tourer meets virtually all professional and family requirements. The compact class bestseller recently demonstrated its outstanding efficiency by covering more than 1,200 kilometres under real traffic conditions – without refuelling! Now, the long-distance hero ‘made in Germany’ can be seen at the IAA Mobility in Munich. From today, trade visitors can take a closer look at it at the Opel Booth B20 in Hall B3 of the IAA Summit.

Efficiency and long-distance wonder: 1,200 kilometres at 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres

A system output of 107 kW (145 hp) and a fuel tank volume of 52 litres – these were the prerequisites that the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid had for its long-distance test. Then the Opel test drivers set off on a route of about 106 kilometres in the Rhine-Main area, starting and ending in Rüsselsheim. The result after more than 11 laps, which the compact estate completed over two days on motorways as well as on country roads and small village streets, heading through the rush hours and stop-and-go traffic, was astonishing: Opel Astra Sports Tourer had driven more than 1,200 kilometres without refuelling, with an average fuel consumption of just 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres and around 345 kilometres covered purely electrically thanks to its 48-volt hybrid technology, all at an average speed of 61 km/h, typical for everyday driving.

However, it did not stop at internal testing, and so the editorial team of the TV magazine VOX auto mobil independently checked whether the Opel Astra Sports Tourer could repeat such an extraordinary performance. And yes – it could! The TV testers drove the estate from Munich to Sylt, averaging around 17 km/h faster than Opel’s internal tests and covering a total of 1,154 kilometres – also on just one tank of fuel! This makes the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid a real long-distance hero.

For everyone’s needs: Full choice of powertrains

But it is not just as a hybrid with 48-volt technology that the Opel Astra Sports Tourer really comes into its own. Customers have the full choice, because the current Astra generation offers a variety of powertrains like no other model in the Opel portfolio. Battery-electric, as a new plug-in hybrid, as a hybrid with 48-volt technology or with a highly efficient combustion engine – Astra Sports Tourer drivers can choose the efficient alternative that best suits their requirements and lifestyle without having to compromise.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric is the perfect example for this. The battery-electric compact class bestseller accelerates to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds, and it can reach a top speed of 170 km/h. Driver and passengers in the Astra Sports Tourer Electric can travel up to 413 kilometres (according to WLTP2) locally emissions-free without stopping, and choose from the three drive modes Eco, Normal and Sport. Even when the battery-electric Astra needs to be recharged, this only means a short ‘pit stop’ at a charging point. The all-electric car can be charged to 80 per cent of the battery capacity in around 30 minutes at a 100 kW direct current fast charging station.

Comfortable all-rounder with extra space: Up to 1,634 litres of loading capacity

Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric also shows that it is a real all-rounder that combines sporty styling with locally emissions-free driving with its load volume: Even with the rear seats up, the luggage compartment of the compact class estate offers 516 litres of cargo volume – with the seats folded down, the capacity of the all-electric car increases to up to 1,553 litres. And as a hybrid or with a combustion engine, the variable rear compartment of the Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers even up to 1,634 litres of storage space. Thus, not only numerous suitcases and work utensils, but also more voluminous items such as transport boxes can be comfortably accommodated, pleasantly easy to load via the 60-centimetre-low loading sill.

The entire journey in the Opel Astra Sports Tourer is just as pleasant as accessing the boot – according to the motto: Take a seat, enjoy the drive and get out again after hours in a relaxed manner. This is ensured by ten-way adjustable ergonomic active sports seats with electro-pneumatic lumbar support, massage function, seat ventilation and heating for the driver and front passenger. Elsewhere, the optional electric glass sunroof creates a light and airy atmosphere with the best views of the sky, even from the second row. And in darkness or adverse weather conditions, Astra Sports Tourer drivers can have a relaxed journey thanks to the glare-free IntelliLux Pixel light. Finally, the ten-inch colour touchscreen or voice-activated multimedia navigation system ensures drivers to arrive at their destination without detours, while their own compatible smartphone can be charged wirelessly in the centre console.

With all these qualities, the Astra Sports Tourer – designed, engineered and manufactured at Opel's headquarters in Rüsselsheim – is ideal as a prestigious business vehicle as well as a practical and durable family and leisure hero – flexible, comfortable and, in every variant, highly economical and efficient.

Additional Power and Range, Same Price: New Opel Astra and Astra Sports Tourer Plug-in Hybrid

• New: Now with 144 kW (196 hp) system output and electrified seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
• Additional range: Electric range of up to 83 kilometres (combined (EAER) acc. to WLTP1) with 17.2 kWh battery
• Order books open: Astra Plug-in Hybrid from €38,460, Astra Sports Tourer Plug-in Hybrid from €39,960 (all prices RRP incl. VAT in Germany)

Sporty, elegant, practical, comfortable and highly efficient: these are the qualities that distinguish the Opel Astra and Opel Astra Sports Tourer. In addition, the compact class bestsellers offer a variety of drives like no other Opel model. Battery-electric, as a plug-in hybrid, with a highly efficient combustion engine and also as a hybrid with 48-volt technology – customers have the full choice, which is now becoming even more attractive. Because from now on, Opel Astra and Astra Sports Tourer are available with a new plug-in hybrid drivetrain. The advantages for customers are manifold: With 144 kW (196 hp), the new plug-in hybrid offers an increase in output of 11 kW (16 hp) compared to the previous version. At the same time, a larger battery enables additional electric range; Consumption and energy demand, on the other hand, are reduced. And thanks to the new transmission, drivers and passengers enjoy more driving comfort.

“For those who want to drive particularly dynamically and responsibly at the same time without already being fully electric, the new plug-in hybrid in the Opel Astra and Astra Sports Tourer is exactly the right choice. 144 kW (196 hp) of system power and 360 Newton metres of torque promise brisk driving pleasure. In addition, with the plug-in hybrid customers have the advantage of conserving energy for when it is required. For example, they can switch to purely electric operation in the city. This gives them the freedom to always choose their preferred drive type,” said Opel Germany brand boss Patrick Dinger.

New Opel Astra Plug-in Hybrid is now available for prices starting at €38,460 – and thus not a cent more expensive than before. The starting price for its estate counterpart, Opel Astra Sports Tourer Plug-in Hybrid, is also unchanged at €39,960 (all prices RRP incl. VAT in Germany). The compact-class models thus complement the brand's modernised plug-in hybrid portfolio. The new Opel Grandland is also available with the next-generation plug-in hybrid drive.

New Opel Astra Plug-in Hybrid: Electric range of up to 83 kilometres (combined (EAER) according to WLTP 1)

Those not yet ready to go on all-electric holiday trips, but wanting to commute or drive into the city with zero local emissions, can simply choose the highly efficient plug-in hybrid drive for the Opel Astra and Astra Sports Tourer. With 144 kW (196 hp) of system output and 360 Newton metres of maximum torque in combination with the new electrified seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, driving pleasure is guaranteed. The five-door accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.6 seconds (Sports Tourer: 7.7 seconds); the top speed is 225 km/h.

The exemplary interaction of the combustion engine and electric motor ensures balanced performance. The 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine has an output of 110 kW (150 hp). The electric motor of the front-wheel drive car now contributes up to 92 kW (125 hp) instead of 81 kW (110 hp). For emissions-free operation in city traffic and urban areas, the electric mode can simply be selected. Thanks to the increased battery capacity of 17.2 kWh (instead of 12.4 kWh previously) the all-electric and thus locally emissions-free range in accordance with WLTP 1 is up by 26 kilometres to up to 83 kilometres. The new 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine also provides exemplary figures, further reducing fuel consumption. For example, Opel Astra and Astra Sports Tourer plug-in hybrids require only 12.7-13.1 kWh of electricity and 2.2-2.4 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres 2 (previously 16.3-16.5 kWh of electricity and 1.3 litres).

The new electrified seven-speed dual-clutch transmission increases driving comfort. In contrast to the six-speed dual-clutch transmission used in the hybrid with 48-volt technology, it has an additional gear and has been optimised for the higher performance of the plug-in hybrid.

In addition, new Opel Astra Plug-in Hybrid comes with numerous modern technologies and comfort features as standard in every variant. They range from the multimedia infotainment system, each with a ten-inch colour touchscreen and driver information display, to wireless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to the keyless start system ‘Keyless Start’.

All-New Opel Frontera: Spacious and Fun SUV Also Available Fully Electric

• Customers’ choice: Battery-electric version or efficient 48-volt hybrid drives
• Rugged interpretation: Expressive silhouette, Opel Vizor with new Blitz, pronounced wheel arches
• Interior delights: Dual widescreen displays, special ergonomic feature for front seats, clever storage solutions
• Space aplenty: Up to 1,600 litres of luggage space, optional functional roof rails
• Clever solutions: Wireless charging and phone projection, additional USB ports and more

Opel is sounding in the start of a new chapter in the company’s long and successful history: today the Rüsselsheim-based carmaker revealed the first images of the new Opel Frontera. The fun and spacious new SUV with the Blitz will be available as a battery-electric variant from the very start with customers also being able to opt for variants with 48-volt hybrid technology.

“With its combination of rugged design, spaciousness, clever solutions and efficient drivetrains, our new Opel Frontera will appeal to a wide range of customers who want to stand out from the crowd. It is ideally suited to the urban and sub-urban environment while simultaneously offering a recharging experience to our customers,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

New Opel Frontera already delights at first sight with its rugged interpretation of Opel’s bold and pure design philosophy. Upright front silhouette and unique front proportions of the new Frontera combine a functional and spacious cabin volume with a very bold and tough, but modern expressive look. New Opel “Blitz” emblem celebrates its premiere on a series model and sits proudly at the centre of Opel Vizor. Bblack “Vizor” gives the front of Opel Frontera a unique identity and seamlessly integrates Eco LED headlamps with automatic high beam, and central Opel Blitz. Vizor is supported by a trapezoidal cooling opening in lower third and emphasises solid and robust stance of the car. Well-known Opel “wing signature” shines in a modern interpretation with three lighting blocks being separated by body-coloured insets. Side view reveals a distinctive C-pillar, which visually splits the spacious cabin. Elsewhere, the pronounced wheel arches and fenders plant the car firmly on the road while also giving the newcomer a solid and modern look.

Smartphone station, Intelli-Seat: Smart solutions for connectivity and comfort

Modern look and feel continues in the interior where clever design meets practicality. Wide horizontal decors on the instrument panel and doors visually widen the already airy cabin. Furthermore, the Opel typical fully digital Pure Panel cockpit with two 10-inch displays and Multimedia infotainment system awaits occupants and is just as eye-catching as the bold and elegant new steering wheel. Opel consistently follows philosophy of maximum comfort with minimum distraction, with a clean, detoxed user experience to avoid any form of digital stress.

Newcomer also caters for those who prefer to rely on their own mobile device by offering an optional innovative smartphone station. After connecting to the station via a dedicated app, the user’s smartphone becomes the vehicle’s infotainment control panel, also interacting with the steering wheel buttons. And Opel is once again bringing seating innovations to a wide range of customers in the new Frontera. Patented Intelli-Seat feature in front seats – a slot that relieves the pressure on the tailbone – ensures outstanding comfort even during long journeys on the Autobahn. In addition, seats are not only richly crafted and sculpted but are also eye-catching thanks to contrast stitching. Seat fabrics are also available in a fully sustainable recycled material.

Fun factor of newcomer is further increased by a string of smart solutions. For example, charging mobile devices is easier than ever before with a cooled wireless charger and two USB ports available in front and a further two USB ports available in the second row. Larger devices that would normally not fit into the cabin properly, such as tablets, can be safely stored in the centre console thanks to a flexible strap that holds them in place. Further open storage areas in the cabin can take daily carry-ons with rubber lining preventing rattling and sliding. Second row passengers can take advantage of integrated smartphone pockets in back rests of the front seats.

Spacious, efficient and clever: Ideal companion for a sustainable active lifestyle

In addition, new Opel Frontera impresses with its loading capacity. With back seats up, it already offers over 460 litres of luggage space in boot – with the seats folded down, the capacity increases to up to 1,600 litres. Additional versatility is provided by the 60:40 split of rear bench while a second load floor comes as standard. Furthermore, customers who need to take even more luggage on their journeys or want to take full advantage of the roof load of more than 200 kilogrammes can choose the optional functional roof rails.

Like all new Opel models, new Frontera not only impresses with its bold and pure design, but also with its responsible performance. Customers will be able to choose between a purely battery electric variant and highly efficient drives with 48-volt hybrid technology. Regardless of which drivetrain the customer chooses, they can look forward to a high level of driving pleasure thanks to the specific chassis set-up. Engineers in Rüsselsheim paid close attention to optimising body control and delivering Opel typical driving characteristics – even when travelling at high speeds on German Autobahn.

With its expressive new look, its clever and fun solutions along with an easy choice of fully electric or hybrid drives, new Opel Frontera once again shows that German brand takes its electrification pledge seriously while simultaneously catering to a wide range of customers.

Driving Pleasure up, Emissions Down: New Opel Grandland Hybrid

• Electrified, efficient, practical: Top-of-Line Opel SUV with 48-volt technology for first time
• Optimal coordination: Combination of new petrol engine and electric motor cuts consumption by around 15 per cent
• Perfect also for urban environment: Pure electric driving at low speeds in city
• Attractive entry-level price: New Opel Grandland Hybrid from €36,120 (RRP including VAT in Germany)

Powerful, stylish and highly dynamic – Opel Grandland is suitable as a sporty, elegant company car as well as a practical, comfortable SUV for an active lifestyle. Top-of-line SUV from Opel offers driving pleasure with responsibility thanks to a wide selection of drive alternatives – which is now even broader. New Opel Grandland Hybrid with 48-volt technology now complements range of electrified plug-in hybrid drives and efficient combustion engine variants. Comprehensively equipped, New Opel Grandland Hybrid starts at an attractive entry price of €36,120 (RRP including VAT in Germany).

Hybrid technology offers a wide range of advantages thanks to recuperation, especially for “newcomers to electrified mobility” and for journeys with a lot of stop-and-go traffic: Compared to their pure internal combustion engine counterparts, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 15 percent. At low speeds, Opel Grandland Hybrid customers can drive with zero local emissions. And because battery recharges when decelerating, Opel Grandland Hybrid drivers do not have to recharge their SUV externally via a power outlet or charging station. Thanks to optimal coordination of entire system, Opel Grandland Hybrid customers also enjoy a high level of driving comfort. And thanks to compact design of hybrid system, no space is lost in interior.

“New Opel Grandland Hybrid with 48-volt technology has all the qualities we are used to in our top-of--line SUV, from groundbreaking technologies such as optional IntelliLux LED Pixel Matrix light to a highly comfortable interior. With new electrified hybrid system, driving pleasure in Opel Grandland is now even more efficient. Consumption and emissions decrease, driving comfort increases without drivers having to get used to it – and all of this at a very attractive starting price,” said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel in Germany.

Efficient hybrid system: consumption down, driving and operation remain same

Drive system of new Opel Grandland Hybrid includes a lithium-ion battery that charges automatically under certain driving conditions, as well as a new 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine. Three-cylinder engine with 100 kW/136 hp was developed specifically for hybrid use and comes in combination with a new electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 21 kW/28 hp electric motor.

Thanks to combination of petrol engine and electric motor, consumption and CO2 emissions in Opel Grandland Hybrid (fuel consumption according to WLTP 1: 5.7-5.5 l/100 km, CO2 emissions 128-124 g/km; each combined) are down compared to those of a comparable non-electrified Opel Grandland 1.2 Turbo with eight-speed automatic (fuel consumption according to WLTP 1: 6.7-6.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions 151-145 g/km; each combined) by around 15 percent.

Technology is especially effective in city traffic. Electric drive supports petrol engine when accelerating and starting from a standstill. Electric motor contributes torque, especially at low engine speeds, which benefits driving dynamics and CO2 savings. At low speeds, electric motor also enables fully electric driving for up to one kilometre or up to 50 per cent of time driven in city (thanks to recuperation) – for example when manoeuvring. When Opel Grandland Hybrid slows down at higher speeds, petrol engine switches off while electric motor acts as a generator to recharge 48-volt battery of hybrid system. Optimally coordinated system is designed to always provide best performance with the lowest energy consumption.

Depending on their driving preferences, Opel Grandland Hybrid drivers can choose between three modes Eco, Normal and Sport. From a standing start, new Opel Grandland Hybrid accelerates to 100 km/h in just 10 seconds. Electrified Opel SUV can reach a top speed of up to 200 km/h.

New Opel Grandland Hybrid not only offers efficient driving pleasure, it is also extremely practical: thanks to compact design – electric motor is integrated into transmission housing, 48-volt battery is located under left front seat – hybrid drivers can use full loading capacity of Opel Grandland of up to 1,652 liters. Opel Grandland Hybrid also offers a towing capacity of up to 1,250 kilograms – ideal for professional, leisure and family trips with heavy luggage.

Fully digital driver information display: clear view of hybrid-specific details

As with every Opel Grandland, the drivers of the hybrid variant can keep an eye on the most important information via fully digital, 12-inch driver information display. In addition to usual displays, interface provides further interesting hybrid-specific details. It informs the driver with a permanent power display, a blue speed display for purely electric driving and a white display for combustion engine operation. In addition, a display shows the energy flow between the battery, petrol engine and wheels as well as the battery charge status in different colours. And most important data on distance travelled, journey time, average consumption, remaining range and percentage of route driven purely electrically is summarised when vehicle is switched off.

For outstanding comfort: seamless hybrid system, extensive features

Another advantage of hybrid system and its components: driver and passengers enjoy a high level of driving comfort thanks to optimal coordination and seamless gear changes. Opel Grandland Hybrid underlines this with a large selection of technology and comfort features, which already come as standard depending on trim level. In addition to numerous standard, state-of-art assistance systems, technologies such as glare-free IntelliLux LED Pixel Matrix light integrated on both sides of Opel Vizor brand face with a total of 168 LED elements or 360-degree camera ensure highest level of safety for all road users. Keyless Open & Start as well as hands-free tailgate are also available.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible multimedia infotainment systems with colour touchscreen guarantee best entertainment and connectivity. Depending on variant, smartphones charge wirelessly as standard or as an option. If desired, driver and front passenger can enjoy comfortable AGR-certified ergonomic active seats.

Electrification for All: New Opel Corsa Hybrid From €26,100

• Electrified, smart, comfortable: Opel Corsa with 48-volt hybrid drive for the first time
• Hybrid advantage: CO2 emissions and consumption down, purely electric at low speeds
• Well-equipped: Numerous state-of-art technologies plus hybrid-specific displays
• Stylish small car bestseller: With Opel Vizor brand face and new cockpit design

Opel Corsa has been shining in new splendour for a few months now – more modern, digital and diverse than ever with characteristic Opel Vizor brand face and two electric drives. Opel is now expanding drive range for small car bestseller. Opel Corsa is now available for first time as a hybrid with 48-volt technology. New Opel Corsa Hybrid comes with extensive equipment with prices starting at €26,100 (all prices RRP including VAT in Germany).

System features a lithium-ion battery that is recharged automatically under certain driving conditions and new turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engines with 74 kW/100 hp and 100 kW/136 hp that have been developed especially for hybrid application. Engines are coupled to a new electrified six-speed dual clutch transmission and a 21 kW/28 hp electric motor.

Hybrid technology offers a wide range of advantages, especially for “electrification novices” who usually travel in urban environments: Compared to its purely conventional counterpart, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 18 percent, and Corsa Hybrid customers can drive locally emissions-free at low speeds in the city and enjoy a high level of driving comfort thanks to the optimal coordination of the system. Thanks to the compact design of the hybrid system, no space is lost in the interior – and drivers do not have to recharge their Corsa Hybrid from an external source such as a socket or charging station.

“New Opel Corsa Hybrid enables everyday, economical driving pleasure with a sense of responsibility – simple, efficient and electrified,” said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel in Germany. “With introduction of 48-volt hybrid technology, Opel offers a practical, easy, fuel-saving alternative to purely conventionally powered models without customers having to get used to it. New Opel Corsa Hybrid, which can be ordered now, complements broad drive portfolio and is another important component in our electrification strategy.”

Efficient, compact, user-friendly: Hybrid system in Opel Corsa

Opel Corsa Hybrid drivers can enjoy particularly efficient and user-friendly driving pleasure. Compared with the similar non-electrified Corsa 1.2 with eight-speed automatic transmission (fuel consumption in the WLTP 1 cycle: 5.5-5.4 l/100 km; 124-121 g/km CO2, both combined), 4 kW/100 hp new Opel Corsa Hybrid with the 48V technology (WLTP1 fuel consumption: 4.8-4.5 l/100 km; 108-101 g/km CO2, both combined) can save nearly 1.0 l/100 km of fuel (around 18 per cent) and also reduce CO2 emissions. Same applies to Opel Corsa Hybrid GS with 100 kW/136 hp, which is available from €30,190. Here too, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 18 percent to 4.7-4.6 l/100 km or 106-103 g/km CO2 compared to the non-electrified petrol counterpart (according to WLTP 1).

System offers advantages above all in city traffic. Electric motor assists the petrol engine especially under acceleration, e.g. when launching from a standstill. It also contributes torque, especially at low engine speeds, which benefits driving dynamics and CO2 reduction. At low speeds, the electric motor also enables fully electric driving for up to one kilometre or up to 50 per cent of the time driven in the city (thanks to recuperation) – for example when manoeuvring. During deceleration, the petrol engine stops and the e‑motor acts as a generator to recharge the hybrid system's 48V battery. Compact and space-saving system is optimally coordinated to ensure the best performance at all times with the lowest energy consumption. Depending on their driving preferences, Opel Corsa Hybrid drivers can also choose between the three modes Eco, Normal and Sport.

Information at a glance: Fully digital cockpit with hybrid-specific displays

In the interior of Opel Corsa Hybrid, occupants can enjoy optional fully digital driver information display (standard on Opel Corsa GS). As usual, it displays all important information clearly – with additional helpful hybrid-specific information. Numbers on digital speed display shine white while the petrol engine is running. If this switches off and vehicle is operated purely electrically, display changes to blue. There is also a permanent power display (divided into Power, Eco and Charge) as well as a display that provides information about energy flow between battery, petrol engine and wheels as well as battery charge status. And most important data on distance traveled, journey time, average consumption, remaining range and percentage of route driven purely electrically can be read via the trip summary display when vehicle is switched off.

Opel Corsa Hybrid occupants are well connected with new Opel Corsa multimedia infotainment system including a 10-inch colour touchscreen. They are based on integrated Snapdragon® Cockpit and Auto Connectivity Platforms from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. 2 and enable, among other things, state-of-art graphics, multimedia and connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G. In addition, smartphones compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be wirelessly connected to vehicle's multimedia systems and also recharged.

Leading technologies for outstanding comfort and safety

Every new Opel Corsa Hybrid has numerous technologies and assistance systems on board as standard, such as Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control as well as Active Lane Positioning, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition and Drowsiness Detection. There are also other optional electronic helpers that make driving and manoeuvring more relaxed. A highlight is glare-free IntelliLux LED Matrix light, which now has 14 LED elements and makes driving in dark even safer. Range also extends to Side Blind Sport Alert and new, high-resolution Panorama Rear View Camera.

New Opel Corsa Hybrid with a new, highly efficient 48-volt hybrid drive, additional top technologies and a clear, bold design including Opel Vizor will be arriving at dealers soon.

Debut: New Opel Corsa with 48V Hybrid Drive for First Time

• Electrified: New petrol engines, 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, 21 kW electric motor
• Benefits: Reduced CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, electric driving up to 30 km/h
• User-friendly: Seamless operation of engine and e-motor, recharging not necessary

Opel will soon offer the new Corsa with 48-volt hybrid technology for the first time. The system features a lithium-ion battery that is recharged automatically under certain driving conditions and new 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engines with 74 kW/100 hp and 100 kW/136 hp that have been developed especially for the hybrid application. The engines are coupled to a new electrified six-speed dual clutch transmission and a 21 kW/28 hp electric motor.

Efficient, fun to drive and user-friendly, 48V hybrid technology is ideal for the new Opel Corsa. Compared with the similar non-electrified Corsa 1.2 with eight-speed automatic transmission (fuel consumption in the WLTP cycle: 5.5-5.4 l/100 km; 125-122 g/km CO2, both combined), the 74 kW/100 hp new Corsa Hybrid with the 48V technology (WLTP1 fuel consumption: 4.7-4.6 l/100 km; 106-102 g/km CO2, both combined) can save nearly 1.0 l/100 km of fuel (around 15 per cent) and also reduce CO2 emissions.

Seamless: Petrol engine and electric motor operate together or separately

In everyday driving, on a mixture of city and country roads, Opel Corsa Hybrid’s petrol engine and the electric motor operate together or separately to optimise energy consumption and performance. The system offers advantages above all in city traffic.

Electric motor also allows Opel Corsa to be driven fully electrically for up to one kilometre under low torque requirements (e.g. when manoeuvring or under 30 km/h in city traffic) and assists the petrol engine under acceleration, e.g. when launching from a standstill. During deceleration, the petrol engine stops and the e-motor acts as a generator to recharge the hybrid system's 48V battery. The battery also stores the energy recuperated by the regenerative braking system.

New Opel Corsa with 48V system: Right choice, especially in town and suburbs

New Opel Corsa with the 48V hybrid system is perfect for customers who drive primarily in towns and sub-urban areas. The state-of-the-art technology is accessible and easy to live with; it will also appeal to customers who want to experience the fun of driving electrically for the first time, without needing to recharge from the grid. The compact 48V hybrid technology features:

• A new generation of three-cylinder, 1.2-litre petrol engines that have been specially developed for hybridisation and to meet the Euro 6.4 emissions standard. Both the 74 kW/100 hp and the 100 kW/136 hp engines reach their peak power out at 5,500 rpm and develop maximum torque of 205 Nm and 230 Nm respectively at 1,750 rpm. For optimum efficiency, the new engines operate in the Miller combustion cycle. This thermodynamic cycle is enabled by the variable geometry turbocharger, which enhances performance at low rpm, and variable valve timing.

• A new electrified, six-speed, dual clutch transmission that has also been designed especially for hybrid applications. The gear shifts without torque interruption are shorter and comfort is higher. The transmission casing also houses the electric motor, the DC inverter and the ECU (Engine Control Unit), optimising the size and weight of the drivetrain and ensuring that excellent driving performance is delivered.

• A permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, integrated in the gearbox, produces peak power of 21 kW/28 hp and maximum torque of 55 Nm.

• A belt-driven starter which – in combination with the e-motor – starts the petrol engine from a cold start. The belt-starter also restarts the engine quickly and seamlessly during the drive.

• A 48V lithium-ion battery with a useable capacity of 432 Wh, installed under the front left seat. This location not only achieves optimum weight distribution for good driving dynamics but also allows the full volume of the boot to be retained.

• Two electrical networks. A low voltage 12V network supplying the car's equipment (e.g. electric windows, infotainment system); and a 48V network to supply the hybrid system.

With 48V hybrid drive, the new Opel Corsa offers a wide range of powertrains stretching from purely battery-electric to hybrid to highly efficient combustion engines, which is unrivalled in the small car segment. The technology also adds further impetus to Opel’s on-going electrification offensive which will see the brand with the Blitz offer at least one battery-electric model in every carline by the end of 2024. As of 2025 every newly introduced Opel model will be fully electric.

Opel to Offer Battery-Electric Variant of Every Model in 2024

• Opel Crossland successor with battery-electric version to launch next year
• Opel’s electrified portfolio already includes battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell drive, 48V hybrids coming soon
• Opel to offer exclusively fully electric vehicles in Europe by 2028

Opel has taken another major step towards becoming a fully electric brand by announcing that the successor to the Opel Crossland B-SUV will also be offered with all-electric drive in 2024. This means that every model in the product portfolio of the brand with the Blitz will be available as a battery-electric variant as early as next year.

Opel CEO Florian Huettl: “With the successor to the Crossland we will make the fun of battery-electric driving available across our entire model range – and give our customers access to locally emissions-free mobility in every one of our models.”

The wide range of battery-electric Opel models today already extends from the Rocks Electric quadricycle, the Combo-e Life and the Zafira-e Life to the all-electric variants of the Corsa and the Mokka. These vehicles have just been joined by the new Astra Electric, which is available to order now, and will be followed next year by the all-electric successor to the Grandland compact SUV. In addition. battery-electric versions of the entire commercial vehicle portfolio comprising Rocks Electric Kargo, Combo-e, Vivaro-e and Movano-e are already available today too.

The portfolio of Opel electrified vehicles also features locally emissions-free alternatives to pure battery-electric drive. These currently include the dynamic top models of the new Opel sub-brand GSe – the Astra GSe, the Astra Sports Tourer GSe and the Grandland GSe (fuel consumption according to WLTP1: 1.2-1.1 l/100 km, CO2 emissions 28-25 g/km; combined, weighted). Short for “Grand Sport electric”, the name means what it says; the GSe models offer a dynamic driving experience with the Grandland GSe delivering a system power output of up to 221 kW/300 hp and maximum torque of up to 520 Nm. In corners, the GSe cars stick to the road and remain stable thanks to special springs and dampers with KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology.

Furthermore, Opel is continuing to pioneer development of hydrogen fuel cell transporters. The Vivaro-e HYDROGEN is already on the road and a large fuel cell transporter is scheduled to follow in 2024.

Also, 48V hybrids will join the electrified line-up in the future, starting soon with the recently announced new Opel Corsa. The 74 kW/100 hp and 100 kW/136 hp engines will come with a new dual-clutch automatic transmission. The new Corsa will thus offer customers a choice of drives, from purely battery-electric to hybrid to highly efficient combustion engines, which is unrivalled in this segment.

Opel will offer 15 electrified models by the end of this year alone. The brand with the Blitz is committed to a fully electric product portfolio in Europe by 2028.

[1] The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures mentioned comply with the WLTP homologation (regulation EU 2017/948). From 1 September 2018, new vehicles are type-approved using the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), which is a new, more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The WLTP fully replaces the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC), which was the test procedure used previously. Due to more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured under the WLTP are in many cases higher compared to those measured under the NEDC. The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures may vary depending on specific equipment, options and format of tires.
