• Character at first glance: YES special edition from €30,340 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany) with Koral Orange paint and orange accents in the interior
• Attractive YES advantages: Roof in carbon black, black 17-inch alloy wheels, wheel arches and elements in front and rear bumpers, reversing camera, six-way adjustable front seats, armrest in the centre console
• Wide range of drive options: Battery-electric, hybrid or with efficient combustion engine
• Real statements: Opel Mokka YES becomes an absolute eye-catcher next to the top variant Mokka GSE

The Opel Mokka stands out as an extravagant eye-catcher among compact SUVs. Now Opel is making the Mokka even more individual and distinctive. From now on, it is also available as a colourful Mokka YES special edition with attractive extras for prices starting at €30,340 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany). After the success of the Opel Corsa YES, customers who want to stand out from the crowd even more can now also do so with their very special Opel Mokka. With this, Opel is adding further flavour to the Mokka range after already introducing the highly dynamic top-of-the-line Mokka GSE.

 “The Opel Mokka is a real eye-catcher in every variant. But we wanted to make the compact customer favourite even more varied. This is exactly what the new YES special edition stands for. At the same time, we are increasing the selection for all those who want to make a personal, extra-stylish statement with their vehicle. From now on, YES fans can choose between the Corsa, Germany's most popular small car, and the confidently designed Mokka,” said Patrick Dinger, Head of Opel Germany.

Like its Corsa counterpart, the new Opel Mokka YES also relies on strong colours and attractive series extras. The special edition is recognisable at first glance thanks to the unusual Koral Orange paint finish. The interior design is specially matched to the unmistakable colour. The decors around the instrument panel, the seat inserts as well as the stitching in seats and doors also shine in radiant orange. On the outside, the standard black 17-inch alloy wheels, the black roof and the matching lower front, side and rear areas, as well as the optional black bonnet, provide a characteristic contrast and an independent appearance. Those who prefer to set accents with a different paint finish, can alternatively choose from the colour palette of the GS line with a matching interior.

Comfort in the Opel Mokka YES is increased by standard additional features such as the six-way adjustable front seats and the armrest between driver and front passenger. All the necessary information is provided by the 10-inch driver information display and the 10-inch multimedia infotainment system’s colour touchscreen. Smartphones can be connected wirelessly via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Parking and manoeuvring in the city is made easier by the reversing camera, which is also standard. Privacy and protection from sunlight in the rear are provided by the dark-tinted rear windows.

In addition, various packages are on offer that further enhance the new Opel Mokka YES. While the tech packages include features such as front parking assist or adaptive cruise control, the infotainment package has integrated navigation with over-the-air updates, natural voice recognition and wireless charger. The comfort package offers, among other things, a double load floor and the winter package features heated front seats and steering wheel.

Opel Mokka YES customers can choose from three drivetrains. The locally emissions-free Opel Mokka Electric YES offers 115 kW (156 hp) and the hybrid version comes with 107 kW (145 hp) and electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Alternatively, a classic 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 100 kW (136 hp) is also available.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Shark-Spotting in the New Opel Astra

• Secretive sea creatures: Finding sharks in the new Opel Astra requires a keen eye
• Full of character: Compact class bestseller is sharper and more modern than ever
• Iconic idea: Shark tradition at Opel began more than 20 years ago with a boy's brainwave
• For shark fans: Customers will also be able to spot little sharks in future Opel models

With Easter and the traditional egg hunt Opel can offer an exciting alternative activity no matter what the weather – the traditional Opel shark spotting. These secretive sea creatures have been a tradition at Opel for two decades now. To delight fans, the team in Rüsselsheim always comes with new hiding places for the sea dwellers – as is now the case with the new Opel Astra. The compact class bestseller – designed, engineered and built at Opel’s headquarters – not only looks more modern, sharper and more distinctive than ever, but also has a few surprises in store.

The adaptive IntelliLux HD lighting system, featuring over 50,000 elements, is not such a surprise but rather the logical next step in lighting technology. Following its introduction in the top-of-the-range Opel Grandland SUV, it is now being used for the first time in the new Opel Astra, which is already available to order. The improved range of the Opel Astra Electric is also a logical step forward, allowing drivers and passengers to travel up to 454 kilometres (WLTP 2) between charging stops. The more modern appearance is underlined by the sharper design, featuring an even narrower and more precisely styled Opel Vizor. Additionally, both the Vizor and the Blitz are illuminated.

But whilst the new Opel Astra makes an even brighter appearance overall, the little sharks are normally afraid of the light. They feel much more at home beneath the Astra’s surfaces, which are crafted from eco-friendly materials. 

This means that the search for these cartilaginous fish remains exciting in the newcomer. A little hint: it is worth changing one’s perspective between the front seats and turning things around a bit. And in the luggage compartment of the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer, the sharks might just be ‘swimming’ at higher altitudes than expected.

Iconic brainwave: The Opel sharks story began in 2004

But how come that, for the past 20 years now, miniature sharks have been popping up in all kinds of Opel passenger cars and generating such enthusiasm within the community? A brief look back: One Sunday afternoon in 2004, designer Dietmar Finger was at home working on a sketch for the Opel Corsa D which was to be launched two years later. He was designing the ordinary outer panel of the glove box, which is mostly invisible because it is hidden by the closed passenger door. However, when the glove box is opened, this panel must ensure stability – which it does with ribs integrated in the plastic surface. Finger was designing the ribs when his son looked at the sketch and said, “Why don’t you just draw a shark?” “Why not!” thought the designer and gave the ribs their characteristic shape! The next day, he showed the shark profile to Niels Loeb and the then Opel Corsa Chief Designer was immediately sold on the idea. The shark in the glove box went into series production and the ‘Opel sharks story’ began.

Next came the Opel Zafira, where Karim Giordimaina, then in charge of the interior design, hid three sharks in the compact van’s cockpit. Further permanent ‘shark appearances’ followed, first in the Opel ADAM and subsequently in all other car models up to the current generations of the Opel Grandland, Frontera and Mokka as well as the new Astra, where several tiny sea creatures are hidden in various places.

This has created an iconic ritual. Since the mid-2000s, every interior chief designer has made sure that at the end of the development process of a new model they have at least one shark somewhere in the interior. The exact locations always remain secret, even from top management. The fish therefore often stay hidden until the launch, which makes for an interesting search for shark lovers both inside and outside the company.

Consequently, the ‘Opel shark story’ will continue. Thus, in future Opel vehicles, too, the mini predators will be making their rounds, sometimes more, sometimes less hidden. Depending on the model, they may well change their territory in the depths of the interior and bodywork. So it remains exciting for customers to see where and how many sharks they will discover in their new Opel model.

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.

Combined values for Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid 48V according to WLTP 1: Fuel consumption 5.0-5.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions 112-115 g/km; CO2 label C.

Absolute Eye-catcher: New Opel Mokka shines in New Colours

• Wow effect: Kolibri Blue, Tropikal Green and Graphik Grey set scene for successful SUV
• Unique look: New colours emphasise bold, characteristic Mokka design
• Electrifying appearance: New Opel Mokka sharper, more modern and more digital

Modern, compact and with the extra style factor – this is Opel Mokka. Opel's popular SUV has always been a strong character and has recently been introduced with even more flavour. This is not only due to its sharpened design; in particular, three additional new body colours that are now available for Opel Mokka set scene for compact SUV. Metallic paint finishes Kolibri Blue and Tropikal Green – both developed exclusively for Opel Mokka – as well as plain-tone Graphik Grey ensure that new Opel Mokka will continue to be a head turner – especially when unmistakable colours form a characteristic contrast with optional roof painted in Karbon Black and optional black bonnet.

"New Opel Mokka is eye-catching, courageous and confident in every respect. Particularly strong colours suit this character perfectly. That is why we have developed the new paint finishes Kolibri Blue, Tropikal Green and Grafik Grey and added them to our range. Customers can now choose bold colours for their Mokka that also express their own personality," said Nikola Kalabic, Team Lead Current SUV Product Management.

Colour booster: New paint finishes underline bold Opel Mokka character

Opel Mokka dares to be different – from very first glance. Colour Kolibri Blue alone makes new Opel Mokka an absolute eye-catcher – as standard! Customers can choose the deep blue paint for every Opel Mokka variant without having to spend a cent more. If you want to be a little more discreet and just as characteristic, you can opt for Graphik Grey, which makes the contours of new Opel Mokka stand out particularly well. For this and for all other paintwork, just €650 (RRP incl. VAT) are due. And customers who want to convey the sustainable mobility idea in a fresh, new look with their Opel Mokka can opt for Tropikal Green. Paintwork symbolises  Opel's ‘Greenovation’ approach and at same time awakens desire for sporty, efficient driving pleasure.

New Opel Mokka is efficient and resource-saving in many respects. It deliberately dispenses with chrome elements and design applications on body, while fabrics and covers made of materials with recycled content are used in the interior. For example, a seat cover made of new ReNewKnit™ material is available. It conveys high-quality look of suede and is easier to recycle. Electrified, Mokka customers can choose to drive up locally emissions-free in all-electric Opel Mokka Electric or "part-time" in Opel Mokka Hybrid with 48-volt technology. Finally, new digital infotainment rounds off modernized Opel Mokka driving experience.

Unusual, original and always highly efficient – in addition to the advanced technologies and drive variants, the characteristic new colours also contribute to this Opel Mokka experience.

35 years of Opel in Eisenach: CEO Florian Huettl hands over all-new Opel Grandland Electric to the automobile welt eisenach museum

• From Eisenach for Eisenach: CEO Florian Huettl hands over new Opel Grandland Electric to Automobile Museum
• First: Top SUV is first electric car in exhibition at “automobile welt eisenach”
• Tradition: Opel firmly anchored in Thuringian city and region for 35 years

Brand new and already in the museum: Opel CEO Florian Huettl presented a new Opel Grandland Electric to the collection of "automobile welt eisenach" ("awe") on Wednesday. The new Opel flagship was unveiled in Eisenach a year ago and has been delighting customers and the trade media ever since.

The top-of-the-line SUV is the first Opel to be based on the state-of-the-art STLA medium platform, optimized for electric vehicles. The model, in all its powertrain variants, is manufactured at the Eisenach plant, which also received its own battery shop. Another special feature:all-new Opel Grandland is the first Opel model with batteries from a European manufacturer—produced by ACC in Douvrin, France.

"All-new Opel Grandland Electric is a true game changer with an electric range of up to around 700 kilometers 1. It was designed and developed in Germany and rolls off the production line exclusively here in Eisenach. It is therefore a great honor for me that our latest model completes the presentation of Eisenach automobile manufacturing since 1898 in the 'awe' museum – and a great pleasure that the range of Opel models on display from Eisenach is also enriched by a state-of-the-art electric SUV," said Florian Huettl, CEO of Opel & Vauxhall and Managing Director of Stellantis Germany.  

Dr. Jessica Lindner-Elsner, Scientific Director of the "awe" Museum and Archives, emphasized: "We are delighted that today the first representative of e-mobility – built in Eisenach – is making its way into our vehicle presentation and would like to thank Opel for this generous support. This not only expands our exhibition to include the current Opel model from Eisenach, but also builds a bridge to the beginning of vehicle production here in the city in 1898. Even back then, electric motors were already in use in the Wartburg Motorwagen."

Opel and Eisenach have enjoyed a close relationship for 35 years. The brand with the lightning bolt was one of the first companies to become involved in the former East German states in 1990, the year of reunification, laying the foundation for a success story with cars "made in Eisenach" that continues to this day. A few months after the founding of Opel-AWE-Planungs-GmbH in March 1990 and just two days after the official reunification, the first Opel Vectra rolled off the assembly line in an AWE factory on October 5, 1990. Three months later, the foundation stone for the new factory in the Wartburg town was laid.

Christoph Ihling, Mayor of Eisenach, emphasized: "It fills me with personal pride that all-new Opel Grandland is not only being built in Eisenach, but is being presented in a fitting manner at an authentic site of Eisenach's automotive history. The fact that Opel has been based in Eisenach for 35 years now demonstrates that the combined transformation efforts after reunification were no flash in the pan. To this day, they continue to have a positive impact far beyond the plant, securing jobs and prosperity throughout the entire region. I am committed to ensuring that this continues in the future."

The plant in Eisenach is well prepared for the future. The company has invested €130 million in the site for the production of all-new Opel Grandland and has developed it into a true 'electric plant' – with a battery shop and a production facility where the top SUV, with all drive variants, can roll off a single line with full flexibility.

[1] The stated – provisional – range was determined based on the WLTP test procedures (Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 and Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1151). The actual range may vary under everyday conditions and depends on various factors, in particular personal driving style, road conditions, outside temperature, use of heating and air conditioning, and thermal preconditioning. Vehicle with 97 kWh battery not yet available.

Opel rocks February with +90.6% and doubles its total market share in Austria

• +95.7 percent 1 increase in passenger cars
• +73 percent 1 increase in commercial vehicles
• Doubling of the total market share 2 to 3.6 percent 1

Opel rocked the Austrian automobile market again in February. The increase in new registrations on the Austrian market as a whole 2 is +90.6 percent 1 compared to the same month last year. 791 new Opels, of which 161 were light commercial vehicles (+73 percent 1) and 630 passenger cars (+95.7 percent 1) found satisfied customers in February.

The total market share was simply doubled: to 3.6 percent 1 (+1.8 percentage points)

Judith Porstner, Managing Director of Opel Austria, said: "Opel is back and I'm very happy about that. We saw a declining market in February, but Opel is clearly bucking the trend, both with cars and commercial vehicles. We are also seeing more demand from companies that want to renew their vehicle fleets. That is a good sign and makes us positive for the coming months. With the new Opel Grandland, Opel Mokka and Opel Frontera models, as well as the Opel Corsa, the Opel Astra and our three commercial vehicles, we are a full-range supplier and can offer the right vehicles and engines for all requirements. If desired, we can also offer a completely electrified fleet."

From the compact, further sharpened Mokka to the family-friendly Frontera and the new top-of-the-line Grandland, each SUV is already available to order – with powerful and efficient, electrifying drives. Each of the three newcomers is available both all-electric and thus locally emissions-free and with efficient, fuel-saving 48-volt hybrid drives. In addition, the Grandland even comes as a dynamic plug-in hybrid. All customers need to do is decide which model and which drive is best suited to their needs.

Travelling locally emissions-free: All-New Opel Grandland, Frontera and Mokka Electric

All-new Opel Grandland not only shines with innovations such as the new 3D Vizor with illuminated Opel Blitz logo and illuminated OPEL wordmark at the rear as well as glare-free Intelli-Lux HD light or the practical Pixel Box for inductive smartphone charging. The ‘Golden Steering Wheel 2024’ winner4 is also the first Opel based on the BEV-native STLA Medium platform. Grandland Electric customers already have the choice of two 157 kW (213 hp) electric variants, which propel the Grandland from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and offer ranges suitable for everyday use and travelling.

With the 73 kWh battery (usable capacity), all-electric SUV can cover up to 523 kilometres (WLTP 1) between charging stops. In the Grandland Electric GS with an 82 kWh battery, the range increases to up to 582 kilometres (WLTP 1). And soon, the 97 kWh battery will even be able to cover up to around 700 kilometres (WLTP 1) with zero local emissions. If the Grandland needs to be recharged, it takes less than 30 minutes to charge to 80 per cent of the battery capacity with a charging capacity of up to 160 kW at a public fast charging station.

If customers want to drive a stylish and individual, yet more compact SUV in the city and beyond, they can order the new Opel Mokka Electric with a 115 kW (156 hp) electric motor. Thanks to efficient packaging, the engineers were able to ensure an exemplary range with a compact size of the 54 kWh battery. This means that up to 403 kilometres (WLTP 1) can be covered locally emissions-free. The space-saving underfloor location of the battery enables a low centre of gravity and ensures that the new Mokka Electric stands confidently on the road. And with 260 Newton meters of torque available immediately, the battery electric car provides quick acceleration from a standing start and plenty of driving pleasure.

At the same time, the new Opel Mokka Electric comes with state-of-the-art infotainment. The further developed bestseller already offers a 10-inch digital driver information display and an equally large colour touchscreen as standard. If the new Mokka has integrated navigation, map updates are loaded into the system over the air. As in the Grandland, the system can now learn and independently suggest destinations and route guidance based on the habits of the linked driver profile thanks to ChatGPT5 (available with Connected Navigation).

New Opel Frontera not only stands out as an exceptional and flexible SUV with its robust design and numerous practical solutions in the interior. The family-friendly newcomer also makes everyday driving and holiday trips a pleasure thanks to its drivetrains. In line with Opel's ‘Greenovation’ approach, every Frontera is electrified. Customers who want to travel locally emissions-free can already order the battery-electric Frontera Electric with 83 kW (113 hp) and 44 kWh (usable) battery and drive up to 305 kilometres (according to WLTP 1) without charging stop. As a ‘long-range’ version, the new Frontera Electric will soon be able to travel up to around 400 kilometres (preliminary range according to WLTP1) between charges.

Electric All In: Enjoying relaxing road trips with new all-electric Opel SUVs

But the new Grandland Electric, Mokka Electric and Frontera Electric are not only easy to drive and charge. Opel is making electric mobility simple and affordable for customers – starting with the vehicle purchase. Customers who buy a battery-electric Opel passenger car will now receive numerous services on top. ‘Electric All In’2 is the name of the formula that makes the switch to electromobility child’s play and everyday motoring more pleasant. The offer includes services such as an eProWallbox Move for quick charging at home, Opel Connect PLUS pack 6 and eight years of mobile charging assistance and roadside assistance7 as well as battery guarantee.

Best of two worlds: All-New Opel Grandland, Frontera and Mokka as 48-volt hybrids

Customers who prefer driving electrified and saving fuel without having to change driving and operating habits or having to connect the car to a charging point, can choose the hybrid variants with 48-volt system. The clever, cost efficient and compact 48-volt hybrid technology of the Grandland Hybrid, Frontera Hybrid and Mokka Hybrid offers many advantages in everyday use. The drivetrain includes a lithium-ion battery that charges automatically under certain driving conditions, as well as a 100 kW (136 hp) turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine (Frontera Hybrid additionally with 74 kW (100 hp) available). The three-cylinder engine was developed specifically for hybrid use and comes in combination with an electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor.

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

And customers looking for a third electrified drive variant will find what they are looking for in the new top-of-the-line Opel Grandland SUV. All-new Opel Grandland plug-in hybrid offers a locally emissions-free range of up to 87 kilometres (WLTP 1). With a system output of 143 kW (195 hp) and 350 Nm of maximum torque in combination with the electrified seven-speed dual clutch transmission, a lot of driving pleasure is guaranteed. Front-wheel drive car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.8 seconds; A top speed of 220 km/h is possible.

“Our Opel Corsa is ultra-modern, exciting and, if desired, fully electric. A small car that fits the times and to which customers say 'YES, of Corsa!' with conviction. With the new YES special edition, we are bringing a breath of fresh air into the segment. At attractive prices, Corsa lovers can drive a car with a particularly strong character that is well equipped. And the way to get there is very simple: online from home in just a few clicks,” said Patrick Dinger, head of Opel Germany.

The stylish appearance of Opel Corsa YES is further enhanced by the standard black roof, as well as the black Blitz on the Opel Vizor and the CORSA wordmark on the rear. The limited special model comes also comes with 16-inch bi-colour alloys as standard. The accents in the interior that match the respective exterior colour are provided by decors in green, blue or red. The multi-adjustable black sports seats increase the comfort for the driver and front passenger. The comfort pack with multi-stage seat heating for the seats in the front row and a heated leather steering wheel are also included.

Crisper, More Modern and Digital: New Opel Mokka available from €26,740

• Bold and pure: Accentuated Mokka style with new Opel Blitz and LED lighting signature
• Top technologies: New infotainment with natural voice recognition and widget interface, wireless smartphone connectivity, 180-degree HD rear-view camera
• Opel Vizor optic in the interior: New steering wheel, even clearer centre console
• Electrified: New Opel Mokka Hybrid from €29,740, new Opel Mokka Electric from €36,740 (all prices RRP incl. VAT in Germany)

Modern, compact, with an unmistakeable style – this is Opel Mokka. With its bold and pure design, the Mokka has become a bestseller. Now Opel is making the unconventional compact SUV even more desirable – both on the inside and the outside. New accents further highlight the unique character of the Mokka and Opel is also bringing technologies from higher vehicle segments to the SUV B segment. And that is not all, the brand with the Blitz has also opened the order books for the new Mokka. With the efficient 100 kW (136 hp) petrol engine prices start at €26,740. As a hybrid with 48-volt technology it is available from prices starting at €29,740 whereas prices for the battery-electric Mokka Electric with 115 kW (156 hp) electric motor and up to 403 kilometres of locally emissions-free range (WLTP 2) start at €36,740 in Germany. In the anniversary year of “125 years of automobile manufacturing at Opel”, the manufacturer is once again making innovations available for a wide range of customers.

“Our Mokka is a bestseller. Bold, pure and unmistakeable – a car full of character that stands out in the crowd. That is exactly why we have only gently sharpened its contemporary design with the new Opel Blitz and graphic elements. The biggest change can be found in the interior. The cockpit now appears even clearer and takes up the Opel Vizor graphics from the front of the vehicle. In addition, the driver and passengers of the new Opel Mokka can enjoy the next generation of infotainment. We are delighted to open the order books for the new Opel Mokka already,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

Character sharpened: New Opel Blitz, lighting blocks and graphical accents

With its bold and clear lines, including the Opel Vizor, the Mokka has already made its mark. It was the first model to introduce the characteristic brand fascia, which now adorns every new model. This confident design inspires customers – and that is why Opel has not completely overhauled the Mokka's appearance, but rather subtly emphasised its visual strengths. The new Opel Blitz in the centre of the Opel Vizor brand face helps to further sharpen the Mokka's character. The black Vizor visually integrates the new Blitz and the headlights into one element. As on the new Opel Frontera, the familiar wing signature of the LED lights at the front and rear shines in a more modern interpretation with three ‘lighting blocks’ ensuring an uncompromising look.

In keeping with the motto ‘black is beautiful’, a black design line running from the bonnet to the rear above the side windows will attract attention in every variant in future. On the Opel Mokka GS, black claddings at the front, rear and wheel arches also convey sporty elegance. A high-gloss black trim strip running across the lower door surfaces to the rear reflects the window design line in the side moulding and emphasises the stylish appearance. In line with Opel's ‘Greenovation’ approach, special aero wheels (available for the Opel Mokka Electric) and the redesigned front bumper improve aerodynamics. In addition, the new Opel Mokka completely dispenses with chrome applications on the exterior.

Detox and Greenovation: New Opel Mokka interior shines in new light

The new Opel Mokka continues its resource-saving approach in the interior. All fabrics are made from materials with recycled content. Visually, the ‘detox’ approach – the clear focus on the essentials – takes centre stage. The new steering wheel, flattened at the top and bottom, not only conveys a sporty character, it also brings the Opel Vizor into the cabin with the new Blitz in the centre and reflects the Opel compass of the exterior design with horizontal lines.

The centre console between the front seats, in a matt silver tone, is now even clearer than before. The designers and engineers have integrated some of the settings previously controlled via buttons into the central colour touchscreen. The entire cockpit design thus appears fresher and more desirable, as if from a higher vehicle class. For example, the design of the remaining switches for the electric parking brake and the selectable driving modes (on the Mokka Electric and automatic variants) comes from the all-new Opel Grandland.

Intelligent, intuitive, customisable: Upgraded infotainment system

The new multimedia and navigation infotainment system also takes the new Mokka to the next level. The further developed bestseller now offers a 10-inch digital driver information display and an equally large colour touchscreen as standard. The latter can be easily operated via widgets, just like a smartphone – alternatively and in combination with the optional navigation system, a ‘Hey, Opel’ is enough to use the natural voice recognition. Both displays can be personalised in many ways. The system recognises the driver's personal profile on the connected smartphone; the connection is always wireless in the new Mokka. Various virtual shortcuts can be set up on the central screen and different colour schemes offer further customisation options.

When ordered with the integrated navigation system, map updates are made available over-the-air. The system also constantly learns thanks to ChatGPT (available in combination with Connected Navigation) and – based on the habits of the linked driver profile – independently suggests destinations and routes. The myOpel app can also be used to easily send the destination and the corresponding route to the vehicle. Furthermore, the infotainment system of the Mokka Electric offers EV routing with charging station display. In addition, smartphones can also be charged wirelessly. Portable devices such as smartphones and tablets can also be connected via the USB-C plug in the centre console. Elsewhere, the optional 180-degree rear-view camera ensures excellent visibility when manoeuvring in the city.

Detoxed offer: Two electrified drivetrains, two trims, two packs

Opel is making the selection process for the new Mokka as clear as the design: The newcomer will be available in the “Edition” and “GS” trims and can be further customised with two individualisation packs.

On the drive side, Opel Mokka customers can choose from an efficient petrol engine for an entry-level price of €26,740 and two electrified alternatives. The compact SUV will be available both as a modern hybrid with 48-volt technology and as a battery-electric, locally emissions-free Mokka Electric. Fully electric, the new Mokka is now available from €36,740 exclusively with the 115 kW (156 hp) electric motor and 54 kWh battery. Thanks to efficient packaging, the engineers were able to ensure an exemplary range with a compact battery size. This means that up to 403 kilometres (WLTP 2) can be covered locally emissions-free. The space-saving underfloor location of the battery enables a low centre of gravity and ensures that the new Opel Mokka Electric stands confidently on the road. And with 260 Newton meters of torque available immediately, Opel Mokka Electric provides quick acceleration from a standing start and plenty of driving pleasure.

Customers who prefer an alternative drive can choose the new Opel Mokka Hybrid with 48-volt technology for prices starting at €29,740. It combines a 100 kW (136 hp) 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor and a new electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The optimised system helps to significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to a comparable conventionally powered vehicle. And at low speeds, Opel Mokka Hybrid drivers can even steer their SUV through city traffic purely electrically and thus locally emissions-free.

With the new Mokka, Frontera and Grandland, all of which are now available to order, Opel offers a state-of-the-art, future-proof SUV trio that fulfils virtually all customer wishes.

Vauxhall Astra Crowned ‘Best Family Car’ at 2024 Business Car Awards

• Vauxhall wins two awards at the 2024 Business Car Awards
• Vauxhall Astra named ‘Best Family Car’ for the third year running
• Vauxhall also wins the ‘Best Fleet Website’ award for the second time
• Judges praised the Astra’s eye-catching design, low running costs and high equipment levels
• Available as the fully electric Astra Electric with a range of up to 258 miles (WLTP)
• By the end of 2024, all Vauxhall cars and vans will be available with a fully electric version

Vauxhall Astra has been named ‘Best Family Car’ at the 2024 Business Car Awards, for the third year in a row. Vauxhall was also awarded with the ‘Best Fleet Website’ prize at the ceremony held in London last night.

The annual Business Car Awards recognise and reward excellence in the automotive fleet sector, highlighting innovation and expertise amongst suppliers and fleet operators. The Vauxhall Astra was once again praised by judges for its low running costs and eye-catching design.

Available as a hatch or Sports Tourer estate, with petrol, plug-in hybrid and fully electric options, the Astra caters for a wide variety of needs. With zero-emissions-in-use, the Astra Electric qualifies for a Benefit-in-Kind rate of just 2% (2024/25), making it particularly well suited to both fleet and business users. The Astra Sports Tourer Electric is one of the few all-electric estate cars available on the market, providing greater choice and practicality to customers and fleet operators.

Martyn Collins, Editor, Business Car, said: “For the third year in a row, Vauxhall’s Astra is again our favourite family car. Not many rivals can offer the version and body style options of the Astra. Its design remains eye-catching and attractive, with low running costs, and all are well-equipped.”

Vauxhall’s website was praised for its vibrant design and clarity for potential fleet customers, making it simple and accessible for decision makers wanting to find out more about how the brand can meet their needs.

Martyn Collins commented: “Vauxhall’s bright website design was praised by our editorial team. In our opinion, it’s the best all-round website, as we felt it had an exceptional fleet focus. As such, it wins our Best Fleet Website accolade again for 2024.”

James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “Vauxhall’s continued success at the Business Car Awards, with the Astra being named Best Family Car for the third year in a row, demonstrates that our model line-up is as appealing as ever. It’s also rewarding to see the quality of our website recognised by the judges once again. Whether it’s fleet or private buyers, Vauxhall is committed to driving Britain towards an electric future and supporting those who want to make the switch.”

By the end of this year, Vauxhall will offer a fully electric version of every car and van in its line-up. Vauxhall was the UK’s best-selling electric van manufacturer in 2023 and is the leading electric car brand year-to-date across retail and Motability channels combined.

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.
