Opel Grandland Electric AWD: Winter Driving Pleasure with Electric All-Wheel Drive

• Sophisticated drive concept: Two electric motors, chassis with Frequency Selective Damping technology, 4WD plus three further individual driving modes
• Impressive power: 239 kW (325 hp) system output and 509 Nm torque
• Relaxing journey: Up to 502 km of locally emissions-free range 

Driving in summer is fun and easy to master, with mostly good visibility and road conditions – but it becomes challenging on roads covered in frost, snow and ice. In these cases, it is good to have a four-wheeled companion drivers can rely on in any situation, whether in slippery conditions in the city or on a holiday trip over a snow-covered mountain pass. This is where the new Opel Grandland Electric AWD comes into play. Particularly during the colder months of the year, it shines even brighter by ensuring optimal grip and thus a safer journey.

This is thanks to its advanced, locally emissions-free drive technology. Opel Grandland Electric AWD is the first all-electric Opel with all-wheel drive and comes with a chassis with frequency selective damping technology as standard. This innovative combination makes driving in winter conditions far more comfortable and relaxing.

239 kW (325 hp), 509 Nm torque, two electric motors and four driving modes

The performance data alone speaks for itself: the Opel Grandland Electric AWD offers a system output of 239 kW (325 hp). The big advantage of the drive concept: the new all-wheel drive system combines the standard 157 kW (213 hp) front-wheel drive electric motor known from the Opel Grandland Electric with an additional 83 kW (112 hp) electric motor for the rear wheels. This dual-engine concept benefits the Grandland Electric AWD, especially in tight corners. Thus, the winding drive from the valley to the higher-altitude winter sports villages becomes even more relaxed and safer. This is also helped by the maximum torque of 509 Nm (343 Nm at the front and 166 Nm at the rear), which is available right from the start and provides plenty of propulsion and driving pleasure, especially when overtaking or ascending in the mountains.

The chassis and individually selectable driving modes of the Opel Grandland Electric AWD are crucial for optimum road contact and reliable grip. The unique frequency selective damping technology incorporates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force in relation to the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on uneven mountain roads or cobblestones – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. Opel Grandland Electric AWD 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. The Opel DNA is further emphasised by specific spring, anti-roll bar, steering and ESC tuning.

The preferred driving mode on snow, ice and slippery surfaces is 4WD, i.e. four-wheel drive mode. The two motors operate continuously, with power distributed evenly between all four wheels providing optimal grip, especially on slippery surfaces. The ESP and traction control systems adopt specific settings to enhance grip. Maximum power and torque are available. This makes 4WD the setting that fully exploits its strengths when driving on snow or in adverse weather conditions and significantly increases safety in these situations.

On dry roads or in moderate conditions, Opel Grandland Electric AWD drivers can also choose from three other modes:

• Normal Mode: To optimise daily efficiency, only the front motor and wheels are prioritised; the maximum power is limited to 230 kW (313 hp) and maximum torque to 450 Nm. Depending on the driver’s demands, the rear motor and wheels automatically engage. During strong acceleration (kick-down), both motors deliver their full potential.
• Sport Mode: The two motors operate continuously, with power distributed 60:40 between the front and rear axles for dynamic and efficient performance. Maximum power and torque are available. The steering and accelerator pedal also adopt a specific ‘Sport’ setting, providing increased responsiveness.
• Eco Mode: The front motor and wheels are prioritised, maximum power is limited to 157 kW (213 hp) and maximum torque to 343 Nm. During strong acceleration (kick-down), the rear motor and wheels automatically engage and both motors deliver their full power. The air conditioning and accelerator pedal also adopt an Eco setting.

Fast, aerodynamic, locally emissions-free: Opel Grandland Electric AWD for everyday use

Although less relevant in winter conditions, it should be stated that the all-wheel drive vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds – not least thanks to its proven aerodynamics. With a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.278, the Electric AWD is the most aerodynamically efficient Grandland model. Also important when planning longer journeys: With its 73 kWh usable Lithium-ion NMC battery, the Grandland Electric AWD can cover up to 502 km (WLTP 1) between charging stops. And when it does need recharging, only a short stop of under 30 minutes is required to charge from 20% to 80% at a fast charger.

Another advantage during the dark winter months comes with the adaptive, glare-free IntelliLux HD light available in the Opel Grandland Electric AWD – and soon also in the new Opel Astra. The award-winning lighting technology precisely illuminates the road ahead and the surrounding area at all times without dazzling other road users.

In this way, the Opel Grandland Electric AWD supports, especially in these days, when heading off for a weekend break or winter holiday, safe travels to the preferred destination, and then enjoying skiing and sledging. All those who want to experience the innovative, comfort- and safety-enhancing electric all-wheel drive technology for themselves, can get behind the wheel of their own Opel Grandland Electric AWD from €51,750 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany).

429-kilometre range (WLTP 1): Opel Corsa Electric offers even more everyday benefits

Small, practical and durable: With space for up to five people in compact dimensions, the Corsa Electric is a real everyday hero and protects the environment and resources with its locally emissions-free drivetrain. It is not for nothing that the jury of the trade magazine electricar named it ‘Best in Class City Vehicle’ in their 2025 awards list.

With the electric range, which has now been increased to up to 429 kilometres, the nimble electric car is even more attractive both in everyday life and for longer trips. Increase in range was made possible by continuous development of nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery. In addition, drive system is now even more efficient. For example, Opel Corsa Electric now consumes only 14.2 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometres. And when the electric small car bestseller needs charging, it recharges to up to 80 percent in under 30 minutes at a 100 kW DC fast-charging station.
