All-Wheel Drive Towing Power with the Opel Grandland Electric AWD

• For caravans, sports and leisure equipment: Up to 1,350 kilogrammes towing capacity
• For a gripping driving experience: 509 Nm torque, 239 kW (325 hp) system output, 0-100 km/h in 6.1 s, four drive modes
• For a flexible and comfortable journey: Space for up to five people, up to 1,580 litres load volume, up to 502 km locally emissions-free range (WLTP 2)
• Electric All In: Opel makes the switch to electric mobility easy

For all those who want to go on holiday in their own mobile home and to travel fully electric, the Opel Grandland Electric AWD (All-Wheel Drive) is the ideal companion. The first battery-electric Opel with all-wheel drive not only offers locally emissions-free driving pleasure – it also ensures that the whole family, along with their luggage and a caravan, can enjoy the best weeks of the year whenever and wherever they like. This is because the well-equipped Opel Grandland Electric AWD is powerful in every respect – its torque of up to 509 Newton metres is just as impressive as its towing capacity of up to 1,350 kilogrammes 1.

Caravans specifically designed for electric vehicles are particularly well-suited to this purpose. Manufacturers such as Fendt are currently developing new models whose lightweight, compact and aerodynamically optimised design is tailored to the requirements of electric towing vehicles. The Opel Grandland Electric AWD and a modern caravan therefore make an ideal combination for a resource-saving holiday trip to and from the campsite of choice.

Towing machine: Electric all-wheel drive SUV takes up to 1,350 kg on the hook

The always electrified Opel Grandland promises maximum travelling comfort for up to five people in every variant. The Intelli-Seats for driver and front passenger, certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V., top infotainment with up to 16-inch colour touchscreen and the transparent Pixel Box in the centre console for wireless smartphone charging are just a few examples of the clever solutions that make every journey in Opel's top-of-the-line SUV more pleasant and relaxed. The  Grandland Electric AWD also has at least 485 litres of cargo space in the rear for transporting four-legged family members and luggage. If the 40:20:40 split rear seat bench is folded down, the capacity increases to up to 1,580 litres. Additionally, Opel offers plenty of practical accessories for bicycles and the like.

If holidaymakers do not want to be tied to one place but prefer to spend the night in their own caravan, the Opel Grandland Electric AWD makes this very easy: The trailer coupling is fit in just a few seconds – even without any additional tools. All this leaves it to attach the caravan and set off. This is possible because the new Opel Grandland Electric AWD can tow additional loads weighing up to 1,350 kilogrammes 1. The same applies, of course, to sports and leisure equipment such as boats or jet skis, which can easily be taken to the seaside or a lake using a trailer.

Stable, safe, comfortable: Four drive modes, frequency selective damping chassis

Maximum driving comfort and safety are the top priorities for the Opel Grandland Electric AWD, even when fully loaded and towing a trailer. On the one hand, this is ensured by ESP with TSM function (trailer anti-oscillation system), which actively prevents the trailer from swaying during the journey. On the other hand, two further components promise safe driving pleasure that is always tailored to the situation in the electric all-wheel drive vehicle, which boasts a total system output of 239 kW (325 hp).

Opel Grandland Electric AWD drivers have the choice of four driving modes: ‘Normal’, ‘Eco’, ‘Sport’ and ‘4WD’. While in ‘4WD’ both electric motors of the all-wheel drive vehicle run continuously and distribute the power evenly to all four wheels to ensure optimum grip – especially on slippery surfaces – in ‘Sport’, the steering and accelerator pedal respond even more directly thanks to a special setting. Peak power and torque are available in both modes. With up to 509 Newton metres, the latter ensures that the Opel Grandland Electric AWD always gets off to a powerful and brisk start.

But that is not all: the chassis of the battery-electric top model also features Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology as standard. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, the unique chassis technology enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on cobblestones – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. The Opel Grandland Electric AWD thus reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the Autobahn. This is another plus point that makes driving with a caravan even more relaxed and safe.

And the all-electric all-wheel SUV is also durable for locally emissions-free holiday trips: The Opel Grandland Electric AWD can travel up to 502 kilometres (WLTP 2) without charging stop. Its 73 kWh lithium-ion NMC battery (usable capacity) needs around 30 minutes5 to recharge from 20% to 80% at a public fast-charger. And when the trailer is uncoupled at the destination, the all-wheel drive vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds.

Electric All In: E-services included for affordable electromobility

And to give electric mobility a further boost, Opel is making it even easier and more attractive for customers – starting with the purchase of a vehicle. After all, anyone who buys a battery-electric car model such as the Opel Grandland AWD Ultimate will receive numerous services at the same time with ‘Electric All In’3. For example, services such as an eProWallbox Move for fast charging at home, e-routes functions and eight years of mobile charging and breakdown assistance6 as well as a battery warranty are already included.

Sharper, Bolder, More Modern: New Opel Astra is Ready to Order

• Real highlights: Compact class bestseller for the first time with new Opel Vizor design and illuminated Blitz emblem as well as latest IntelliLux HD lighting technology
• Relaxing journey: Intelli-Seats with ergonomic feature standard in all variants
• Extended range: New Opel Astra Electric with a range of up to 454 kilometres (WLTP 1)
• Freedom of choice: From battery-electric to plug-in hybrid to efficient combustion engine

Stable prices, more benefits: Opel Astra Electric available to order from €37,990, entry-level Opel Astra Hybrid starts at €32,990 (all prices RRP incl. Vat in Germany)

Just a few weeks ago, the new Opel Astra and the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer celebrated their world premiere at the Brussels Motor Show, and now the modernised and further sharpened versions of the compact class bestsellers are available to order. Best of all, the new Opel Astra – which is designed, developed and built at Opel's headquarters in Rüsselsheim – boasts innovative technologies, even more comfort and an even more distinctive appearance, yet the price remains the same. Customers even get more car for their money: Opel Astra Electric is still available from €37,990 and Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric from €39,490 (all prices RRP incl. VAT in Germany), but equipped with a 58 kWh battery the all-electric car offers more capacity and with up to 454 kilometres (according to WLTP 1) more locally emissions-free range than before. Elsewhere, customers can drive their own Opel Astra starting from €32,990 with the electrified hybrid version with 107 kW (145 hp) system output.

“With its new design, technology and comfort highlights such as the illuminated Opel Blitz on the front and Intelli-Seats as standard even in the entry-level version, we are taking our compact class bestseller to the next level. Furthermore, we are ensuring the affordability of the Opel Astra regardless of the drivetrain by prices remaining the same! We are making our customers an offer they can't refuse,” said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel Germany.

Appealing in every respect: Opel Astra with illuminated Opel Blitz and sharpened Vizor

Even at first glance, the new Opel Astra appears more modern, sharper and even more distinctive with its refined Opel DNA. The Opel Blitz brand emblem sits centrally in the even narrower and more precisely designed Opel Vizor – and, following its introduction in the top-of-the-range Opel Grandland SUV, it is now illuminated for the first time in the Astra. Furthermore, the front design shows elements of the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, bringing the first features of the concept car celebrated at the IAA Mobility last autumn to life in series production. And new rim designs for the 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels are just as eye-catching as the new metallic paints ‘Kontur White’ and ‘Klover Green’.

As a real highlight and unique in the compact class, the award-winning IntelliLux HD light with more than 50,000 elements is now available as an option for Astra drivers, illuminating the road at night to suit each situation at any time. The high-resolution lighting technology not only ensures that other road users are not glared, it also is easy on the eyes of the Opel Astra driver. The system detects traffic signs and dims the LEDs so that the reflection from the signs does not dazzle the driver. IntelliLux HD is already included as standard in the new top-of-the-range ‘Ultimate’ trim.

Feel-good atmosphere: Pure cockpit, precise displays, comfortable Intelli-Seats

The Opel Astra engineers have also further optimised the interior. The measures range from the cockpit and display design to travel comfort with enhanced feel-good factor. This is because the so-called Intelli-Seats are standard in every model variant. They are characterised by a special recess running in the middle of the seat, which reduces pressure on the tailbone. Thus, the patented Intelli-Seat ergonomics feature ensures relaxed driving comfort even on long drives. From the GS trim onwards, the driver's seat also bears the AGR seal of approval (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. / Campaign for healthy backs), and in the optional ReNewKnit™ version, both the driver's and front passenger’s seats are AGR certified.

At the same time, the cockpit and user interfaces for multimedia infotainment and other features have been made even clearer, more concise and more intuitive. New visualisations and graphics on the screens give the interior a more modern look. In terms of practicality, the driver can now read them even easier than before. And in line with Opel's ‘Greenovation’ approach, numerous resource-saving materials and surface structures are used in the Astra's interior: the steering wheel is completely covered with vegan materials, and the optional seat covers are made of ReNewKnit™, a special mono-material offering a high-quality suede leather look.

Highly efficient drives: Opel Astra Electric with range of up to 454 kilometres 

Conserving resources was also a key focus in the further development of the electrified drive portfolio. The 115 kW (156 hp) Opel Astra Electric with a 58 kWh battery now enables a locally emissions-free range of up to 454 kilometres (WLTP 1) – allowing Astra Electric drivers to travel around 35 kilometres further than before between charging stops.

Also new and extremely practical: The all-electric Opel Astra offers V2L – Vehicle to Load – for the first time and thus the possibility of charging external devices such as e-bikes or the like at the holiday destination without having to rely on other power sources. And to make the switch to electromobility even more attractive, customers also benefit from numerous advantages of the Opel ‘Electric All In’3 programme when buying a new Opel Astra Electric.

Those who want to travel in the new Opel Astra in a highly efficient but partially electrified manner can choose between a hybrid variant with 107 kW (145 hp) starting at €32,990 or a plug-in hybrid with 144 kW (196 hp) system output starting at €38,460. Priced from €34,640, the 96 kW (130 hp) 1.5-litre diesel rounds off the broad drive portfolio, which is designed to meet every need.

All this stated, Opel Astra customers can continue to rely on the proven strengths of the compact class bestseller. Depending on the variant, up to 1,339 litres of luggage can fit into the boot of the hatchback with the seats folded down. Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers a load volume of up to a maximum of 1,634 litres. In addition, the rear seat backrest in the compact-class estate can be flexibly folded down in a 40:20:40 ratio.

[1] The stated range was determined on the basis of the WLTP test procedures (Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 and Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1151).

Shines in New Light: Opel Gives Further Insight into New Opel Astra & Opel Astra Sports Tourer

• Sharper, more technical: Compact class bestseller for the first time with new Opel Vizor design and permanently illuminated Blitz emblem
• Real highlight: Latest Intelli-Lux HD lighting technology with over 50,000 elements
• Top comfort: Intelli-Seats with ergonomic feature already standard from the entry-level version
• Greenovation: 100 percent recycled fabrics in the interior
• Extended range: New Astra Electric with a range of up to 454 kilometres
• World premiere: Opel to unveil newcomers at the Brussels Motor Show in January 2026

In 2025, the new SUV models from the Opel Mokka to the Opel Frontera to strong new variants of the Opel Grandland Electric celebrated their market launch – in 2026 the focus will shift to the Opel Astra. The hugely popular compact class car, which is designed, engineered and made in Rüsselsheim, will soon be available in a new guise with an even sharper design as well as even more top technologies and comfort. In just a few weeks, the new Opel Astra and the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer will celebrate their world premiere at the Brussels Motor Show from January 9 to 18, 2026. Today, Opel is already showing details of the further developed successful model ‘made in Germany’.

The highlights of the new appearance include the Opel Blitz at the front, which is illuminated for the first time on the Astra, the adaptive glare-free Intelli-Lux HD light and the standard Intelli-Seats with ergonomic recess. The developers and designers have also remained true to Opel's ‘Greenovation’ approach: The interior of the new Astra is made of 100 per cent recycled materials – and the all-electric Astra Electric comes with more locally emissions-free range and can now cover up to 454 kilometres between charging stops (WLTP 1).

"Our new Opel Astra is sharper, more modern and more sustainable than ever," said Opel CEO Florian Huettl. "With new design and technology highlights such as the illuminated Opel Blitz in the further developed brand face or the innovative Intelli-Lux HD light, we are taking our compact class bestseller to the next level. The new Astra will inspire customers and continue the decades of success of our compact class."

Astra premiere 1: Enhanced Opel Vizor with illuminated Opel Blitz

Opel connoisseurs will immediately notice that the new Astra comes with a fresh design, which was decisively inspired by the high-performance Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo concept car. The characteristic brand face, the Opel Vizor, is now narrower and even more precisely designed. The illuminated Opel Blitz, which celebrated its premiere as a distinguishing feature of the top-of-the-line Grandland SUV now sits proudly at the centre. The central, now illuminated brand emblem also forms the starting point for the light strips that run horizontally into the headlights and vertically into the crease of the bonnet. Here, too, the design is based on the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. The result: The Opel Compass, illuminated for the first time as the design leitmotif of the vehicle, is emphasised more strongly than before; the new Astra appears even sharper, more technical and more modern.

New rim designs for the 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels are just as eye-catching as the new metallic paints ‘Kontur White’ and ‘Klover Green’. They underline the unique appearance in combination with the optional contrasting black roof.

Astra Premiere 2: Intelli-Lux HD lighting technology with over 50,000 elements

Unique in the compact class is the lighting technology used in the new Astra on both sides of the Opel Vizor. Once again, the Opel Grandland served as the inspiration: From now on, the innovative Intelli-Lux HD light is also available for the Astra and Astra Sports Tourer. The adaptive, glare-free headlights have more than 50,000 elements and cut out preceding and oncoming road users even faster and more precisely than the previous matrix light technologies. At the same time, the light cone in front of the vehicle can be completely digitally adjusted, so that it intuitively guides the driver's point of view along the road when cornering. Depending on the steering angle, an additional light module is added on the corresponding side of the vehicle, which illuminates the road even better from the side and thus prevents ‘black holes’ in the curve. In bad weather or fog mode, Intelli-Lux HD also reacts to the possible glare effect caused by rain-soaked roads and adjusts the light intensity accordingly to reduce this effect for oncoming traffic. And finally, the high-resolution lighting technology is easy on the eyes of the Astra driver. This is because the system detects traffic signs appearing on the road and dims the LEDs so that the reflection from the signs does not dazzle the driver.

Astra Premiere 3: Top comfort with standard Intelli-Seats from entry-level version

The new appearance, which takes the Opel Astra to the next level, is also reflected in the interior. Here, Opel  Astra drivers and passengers can look forward to an even clearer cockpit as well as extra comfort. In every variant, the new Astra offers even more seating comfort than before. Even from the entry-level version, the Intelli-Seats, specially developed by Opel and available for the first time for the Astra, come as standard. They are characterised by a special recess running in the middle of the seat, which – inspired by the bicycle saddle design on road bikes – reduces pressure on the tailbone. The patented Intelli-Seat ergonomics feature ensures relaxed driving comfort even on long drives.

In addition, Astra customers can also choose their own individual seating comfort. For example, multi-adjustable, AGR-certified seats for driver and front passenger with covers made of ReNewKnit™ including multi-stage seat heating, electro-pneumatic lumbar support, massage and memory function are available. The mono-material in a high-quality suede look is 100 per cent recycled and recyclable and, unlike composite materials, does not have to be laboriously separated. This reduces the CO2 footprint and helps to avoid waste.

Greenovation: Recycled fabrics, Opel Astra Electric with range of 454 kilometres (WLTP 1)

In addition to the 100 per cent recycled seat covers, numerous other resource-saving materials and surface structures are used in the Astra interior. At the same time, the cockpit and user interfaces of multimedia infotainment and the like have been made even clearer and more intuitive.

Resource conservation was also the focus of the further development of the electrified drive portfolio. With a 58 kWh battery, the Astra Electric will enable a locally emissions-free range of up to 454 kilometres (WLTP 1) – allowing Astra Electric drivers to travel around 34 kilometres further than before between charging stops. Also new and extremely practical: The all-electric Astra offers V2L – Vehicle to Load – for the first time and thus the possibility of charging external devices such as e-bikes or the like at the holiday destination without having to rely on other power sources.

This said, Opel Astra customers can continue to rely on the proven strengths of the compact class bestseller. Depending on the variant, up to 1,339 litres of luggage can fit into the rear compartment in the hatchback with the seats folded down. The Astra Sports Tourer offers a load volume of up to a maximum of 1,634 litres. In addition, the rear seat backrest in the compact-class estate can be flexibly folded down in a 40:20:40 ratio.

Further information on the newcomers and the broad drive portfolio of the new Opel Astra and Opel Astra Sports Tourer will follow around the world premiere in Brussels in early 2026.

All-New Opel Grandland: Greenovation Made by Opel

• Electric top SUV: Travel up to around 700 kilometres (WLTP 1) without charging, locally emissions-free, with Opel Grandland Electric, batteries as part of circular economy
• Sustainable, practical, comfortable: Fabrics for seats, door panels and instrument panel made from recycled materials
• Design meets resource conservation: model name embossed in tailgate, body without chrome elements

All-new Opel Grandland shows what the brand means by “German Energy”. The top SUV features an inspiring design and innovative solutions, focusses on the essentials in terms of operation, and is electrified in every variant. All-new Opel Grandland combines a stylish appearance with practical details and many features that reduce the carbon footprint. These include locally emissions-free driving along with recyclable, repairable batteries, as well as the use of recycled materials in the interior and the absence of chrome elements on the body. The newcomer therefore exemplifies “Greenovation made by Opel”.

Stylish, sustainable design: Clear appearance, no chrome elements

The exterior of the all-new Opel Grandland sets precedents. All-new Opel Grandland is the first production model to feature the illuminated Opel “Blitz” emblem and integrates this and the innovative “Edge Light” technology into the new 3D Vizor. The lighting uses only energy-saving LED headlights up to and including the industry-leading adaptive IntelliLux Pixel HD Light.

The rear view of the all-new Grandland also combines style with resource conservation. For the first time, customers see an illuminated OPEL lettering, while the model name GRANDLAND no longer appears in chrome letters but is embossed in the middle of the tailgate – just one example of how Opel has dispensed with chrome applications in the Grandland's body design.

Practical, comfortable, sustainable: recycled materials in the interior

During development, the designers and engineers paid attention to every detail to find resource-saving solutions to reduce the carbon footprint and at the same time bring a future-oriented, attractive and comfortable SUV onto the road. The cockpit and cabin of the all-new Opel Grandland were designed to be just as resource-saving as the body. The standard IntelliSeats, with their recess running down the middle of the seat cushion to relieve pressure on the coccyx, offer relaxed driving pleasure. 

Not only are they designed to be extremely comfortable, they are also produced sustainably. True to Opel's “Greenovation” approach, 100% of the fabrics are made of materials with a recycled content. This applies to the seats as well as to the door panels, instrument panel and centre console. Three trims will also be vegan, and even the Alcantara trim will be based on 50 % recycled materials.

However, the developers of the all-new Opel Grandland were not satisfied with that. They placed great importance on not only making the visible parts and components from recycled or recyclable materials, but also the parts that are initially hidden from the eye. For example, all-new Opel Grandland is made of recycled aluminium as well as steel with recycled content. In addition, all-new Opel Grandland contains more than 40 polymer parts that consist of up to 80 % “green” materials. In total, more than 500 kilogrammes of the Grandland's weight is made up of recycled and renewable raw materials.

Reducing CO2 emissions: All-New Opel Grandland electrified in every variant

Of course, Opel also takes the “Greenovation” approach into account when it comes to drivetrains; every Grandland is electrified – as a hybrid with 48-volt technology, fully electric or as a plug-in hybrid – and thus reduces CO2 emissions. This is made possible by the STLA medium platform, which was specially designed for battery-electric vehicles and is being used for the first time in an Opel with the all-new Grandland. The architecture can integrate a particularly flat battery pack with a battery capacity of up to 98 kWh. In this way, all-new Opel Grandland Electric will in future drive up to around 700 kilometres locally emissions-free without stopping to charge (WLTP 1). And the highly efficient heat pump which comes as standard has a positive effect on the range when temperatures drop.

Another factor in minimising the carbon footprint is the batteries themselves. They are part of the resource-saving circular economy promoted by Opel, which is based on the so-called four “Rs”: repair, remanufacture, reuse and recycle. To make this possible, a “Battery Shop” was set up specifically at the production site of the all-new Opel Grandland in Eisenach.

After recently celebrating the world premiere of the new Frontera Electric and the new Frontera Hybrid in Istanbul (Türkiye), Opel has today opened the order books and revealed the prices for the family-friendly newcomer. Customers can call the new five-seater Frontera Electric their own from prices starting at €28,990 (all prices RRP in Germany) while the new Frontera Hybrid is available from €23,900. But that is not all. New Opel Frontera also offers the choice between five and seven seats. The two additional seats for the Hybrid only cost an additional €800 making the newcomer a perfect shuttle for family and friends.

“Our new Opel Frontera offers great packaging and value for money. The rugged interpretation of our bold and pure design philosophy combined with the highly competitive prices for the all-electric or electrified version will delight customers. This newcomer shows our ambition to further democratise electromobility,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

Robust appearance and numerous practical features as standard

Striking design of the new Opel Frontera makes it stand out immediately. Opel Frontera is the first production model to proudly bear the new Opel Blitz emblem in the centre of Opel Vizor brand fascia. Prominent wheel arches and sills as well as the eye-catching C-pillar design underline the robust character. 

Modern looks with a focus on the essentials continue seamlessly in the interior. The driver and passengers look at a cockpit with a newly designed steering wheel and two optional 10-inch widescreens. 

Alternatively, Opel Frontera also offers the innovative Smartphone Station, which enables customers to utilise the power of their own smartphone as the infotainment system.

Suitability for both short journeys as well as long trips is a top priority for new Opel Frontera. At the front, the driver and front passenger can, if desired, sit on the new patented IntelliSeat with a slot in the middle that relieves pressure on the tailbone. 460 litres of luggage can be stored in the boot; with the seats folded down even up to 1,594 litres. Additional versatility is provided by the 60:40 split of the rear bench while a second load floor comes as standard. Furthermore, customers who need to take even more luggage can choose the optional functional roof rails.

Simplicity is key: Two drivetrain concepts, two trims, two optional packages

Intuitive, accessible and focused on the essentials: Opel meets these requirements in every respect with the new Frontera – from the choice of drivetrain to the equipment options and the ordering process.

New Opel Frontera is available either as a hybrid with 48-volt technology or fully electric. At a starting price of €23,900, the Frontera Hybrid has a 74 kW (100 hp) 1.2-litre petrol turbo engine developed specifically for hybrid use. This operates in combination with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor and an electrified six-speed dual clutch transmission, so that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly lower compared to a conventionally powered model. In addition, Opel Frontera Hybrid is also available with a 100 kW (136 hp) 1.2 turbo engine for prices starting at €25,700.

Customers in Germany who want to travel locally emissions-free can order the battery-electric Frontera Electric with a range of up to 305 kilometres (according to WLTP 2) for €28,990. As a “Long Range” version, the new Opel Frontera Electric will be able to travel up to around 400 kilometres (WLTP 2) without stopping to charge.

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. The engineers in Rüsselsheim paid close attention to optimising body control and delivering Opel typical driving characteristics – even when travelling at higher speeds on the German Autobahn.

Frontera's equipment trims are equally clearly laid out for customers. The newcomer is available either as the Frontera Edition or as the Frontera GS. Even the entry-level version is extensively equipped. The GS variant will also have standard features such as multimedia infotainment with a 10-inch colour touchscreen and integrated navigation as well as a rear-view camera. Frontera customers can further customise their vehicle with two optional packages (“Comfort” and “Tech”) to ensure that the newcomer meets their personal preferences.

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.
