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.

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.

[1] A vehicle's values not only depend on the vehicle's efficient use of fuel, but are also influenced by driving behaviour and other non-technical factors.

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

New Opel Astra Celebrates World Premiere at Brussels Motor Show

• Stunning debut: Opel CEO Florian Huettl and Opel Vice President Marketing Rebecca Reinermann present the new Astra and Astra Sports Tourer
• Sharper, more modern, further: New Astra with illuminated Opel Blitz and Opel Compass, Intelli-Lux HD light and up to 454 km electric range 
• Top seller: Opel Corsa Germany's most popular small car for the fifth year in a row
• Wide range: Opel Mokka GSE, Grandland Electric AWD, Frontera Electric and high-performance study Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo on display in Hall 5

Opel CEO Florian Huettl opened today's Opel press conference at the Brussels Motor Show with a brief look back before eying a successful new year for the brand with the Blitz. "2025 was a great year for Opel with numerous highlights and 2026 will be even more exciting," said Huettl. And he kept his word: Together with Vice President Marketing Rebecca Reinermann, he unveiled the new Opel Astra and the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer. The latest evolution of the compact class bestseller from Rüsselsheim is celebrating its world premiere at the first automotive exhibition of the year – sharper, more modern and more radiant than ever.

In addition, Huettl had more good news: The bestselling Opel Corsa once again topped the registration statistics in Germany in 2025, and with the renewed trio of Grandland, Frontera and Mokka, Opel is well positioned in the SUV segment. However, the undisputed star at the Opel booth in Hall 5 of the Brussels Expo today and until January 18 is the new Opel Astra.

Segment leading: New Opel Astra with Intelli-Lux HD light and illuminated Opel Blitz

"The new Astra marks the next step in our 90-year history of the compact class and once again brings innovative features to the segment," said Florian Huettl at the presentation. One of them is the class-leading Intelli-Lux HD light, which was developed by the engineers in Rüsselsheim and is now also used in the new Astra and Astra Sports Tourer. More than 50,000 elements in the headlights ensure that "the road, traffic signs, obstacles and pedestrians are all lit up with breathtaking precision without dazzling other drivers," said Rebecca Reinermann. Light is also the decisive element when it comes to the character of the brand face. This is how the Opel Vizor has been further developed: The Opel Blitz and the Opel Compass signature are both permanently illuminated for the first time.

"Light instead of external chrome elements – which the Astra does not use at all – is an important step on our sustainability journey," continued Reinermann. This approach also extends to the interior design. All seats are made from 100 per cent recycled materials. Drivers and passengers can therefore enjoy both a resource-saving and comfortable drive. Because even from the entry-level variant, the patented Intelli-Seats with ergonomic recess in the middle come as standard.

Another customer benefit: "We offer a wide range of drive alternatives for the new Astra, from the efficient combustion engine to the 48-volt hybrid and plug-in hybrid to the all-electric version – which now offers even more range than before with up to 454 kilometres in accordance with WLTP 1," said Reinermann.

Customer successes: New SUV portfolio and hugely popular Opel Corsa

Opel CEO Huettl confirmed how well the all-electric new Opel models are received by customers: "Around one out of three Grandland and Frontera ordered is battery electric." This also contributes to the growing order intake at Opel in recent months.

In addition to the new Astra and Astra Sports Tourer, numerous other electric models are on show at the Opel booth in Hall 5. These include the currently fastest battery-electric production Opel and 2025 Golden Steering Wheel 3 winner the Mokka GSE just like the first all-electric Opel all-wheel-drive vehicle Grandland Electric AWD and the Extended Range variant of the Frontera Electric.

Once again, the high-performance Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo concept car that merges the digital with the real world and at the same time underlines Opel's commitment to the important small car segment will turn heads. According to the latest registration statistics from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, the current Corsa – also on site in Brussels – has now been Germany's best-selling small car for five years in a row. In addition, it was once again the most popular small car in the UK in 2025.

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.

Order Books Open: New Opel Grandland Electric Long Range with Range of up to 694 Kilometres

• Electric freedom: Grandland Electric Long Range with 97 kWh battery available from €51,750 euros (RRP incl. VAT in Germany)
• Electric driving pleasure: 170 kW (231 hp), 345 Nm torque, from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds, top speed of 170 km/h
• Travel in comfort: With Intelli-Seats, multimedia infotainment and Frequency Selective Damping technology as standard
• ‘Electric All In’2: Opel makes the switch to electric mobility easy

Opel Grandland family is growing once again: After the introduction of the all-wheel-drive version of the electric top-of-the-line SUV, Opel is now launching the new Opel Grandland Electric Long Range. With its 97 kWh battery, the newcomer enables a range of up to 694 kilometres (WLTP1) between charging stops, making it the range champion among the battery-electric Grandland variants. Even in the entry-level ‘Edition’ trim, it comes with ergonomic Intelli-Seats as well as a chassis with Frequency Selective Damping technology as standard. The new Grandland Electric Long Range thus promises safe as well as comfortable and, above all, extensive locally emissions-free driving pleasure. The latest addition to the Grandland range can be ordered now for prices starting €51,750 (RRP incl. VAT in Germany).

"Since its launch last year, the Opel Grandland has been convincing customers as a sporty, elegant, state-of-the-art SUV with the highest level of comfort. We are now increasing this even further. We promised the battery-electric Grandland with even more range – and here it comes: In the new Grandland Electric Long Range, drivers and passengers can now drive up to 694 kilometres (WLTP1) locally emissions-free without having to recharge – a range increase that makes our top SUV even more attractive for long business or holiday trips," said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

Free choice of electric powertrain: Opel Grandland Electric now available in three variants

Since its launch, the Opel Grandland Electric has already been available with a 73 kWh battery and a range of up to 521 kilometres (WLTP 1). Just a few weeks ago, the Grandland Electric AWD, which has a system output of 239 kW (325 hp) and 509 Newton meters of torque, celebrated its public premiere at the IAA Mobility in Munich as the first all-electric all-wheel-drive vehicle from Opel. And with the Opel Grandland Electric Long Range, which can be ordered now, Opel is once again expanding the range of the battery-electric top-of-the-line SUV ‘made in Germany’.

For those who want to enjoy even more electromobility freedom than before, the new Grandland Electric Long Range is the ideal choice. A range of 694 kilometres (WLTP 1) goes well beyond the usual everyday requirements. This is made possible by the STLA Medium platform, on which the Grandland Electric is built. It is designed to accommodate batteries of up to 97 kWh – as in the Long Range variant – without compromising on the passenger compartment or cargo space. In this way, Opel  Grandland Electric drivers and their families can now travel even longer distances until the battery needs recharging to 80 percent of the battery capacity in about 27 minutes at a public fast charging station.

Furthermore, powerful locally emissions-free driving pleasure is ensured. The electric motor of the Opel Grandland Electric Long Range offers 170 kW (231 hp) of power and 345 Newton meters of direct torque. This allows the electric car to accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds; a top speed of up to 170 km/h is possible.

Well equipped: With Frequency Selective Damping, Intelli-Seats and much more

In addition to the three selectable driving modes ‘Normal’, ‘Eco’ and ‘Sport’, the suspension with Frequency Selective Damping technology guarantees maximum situationally adapted driving comfort – as with every battery-electric Grandland. Depending on the situation, road conditions and driving style, the unique technology enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. for short-wave impacts such as on cobblestones – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct road contact at low frequencies. Opel Grandland Electric thus reacts even more immediately and directly to every command from the driver and remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the motorway, as is typical for Opel.

Opel Grandland Electric Long Range enhances the safe and comfortable driving experience with numerous other state-of-the-art features. For example, the entry-level ‘Edition’ trim already includes Intelli-Seats with ergonomic recess in the seat surface as well as multimedia infotainment with a 10-inch colour touchscreen and Intelli-LED headlights. In the higher trim levels, electronic helpers such as the award-winning glare-free Intelli-Lux HD light with more than 50,000 elements, the Intelli-HUD head-up display or the 360-degree Intelli-Vision camera as well as the Intelli-Seats certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. are available. The multimedia navigation system with a 16-inch colour touchscreen provides outstanding entertainment and connectivity. Solutions such as the transparent Pixel Box in the centre console, in which one's own smartphone can be charged wirelessly, increase practicality. And for convenient access to the rear compartment, the sensor-controlled tailgate opens and closes electrically in the Grandland Electric Long Range ‘GS’ and ‘Ultimate’.

‘Electric All In’: E-services included for affordable electric mobility

In order to give electromobility a further boost, Opel is making it even easier and more attractive for customers – starting with the purchase of a vehicle. Because anyone who buys a battery-electric model such as the new Opel Grandland Electric Long Range now will receive numerous services at the same time with ‘Electric All In’2. For example, services such as an eProWallbox Move for fast charging at home, e-routes functions and eight years of mobile charging and roadside assistance4 as well as a battery warranty are already included.

Opel Electrifies with Emotional Line-up at XS Cars'n'Coffee

• Goosebumps, speed and euphoria: Opel Mokka GSE Rally and Opel Mokka GSE at the DEKRA Lausitzring
• Rugged show car for all occasions: Opel Frontera GRAVEL made for adventure seekers
• Opel in the spotlight: After the XS Carnight Festival on Lake Wörthersee, XS fans gather in Brandenburg

On Sunday, motorsport and tuning fans flocked to the DEKRA Lausitzring in Brandenburg where the community celebrated particularly sporty and eye-catching automobiles at the XS Cars'n'Coffee event. And Opel was right in the middle of the action. The brand with the Blitz attracted a lot of interest with its new battery-electric models Opel Mokka GSE Rally and Opel Mokka GSE as well as the extraordinary show car for adventure seekers, the Opel Frontera GRAVEL. A look at the trio was enough to create the proverbial OMG! feeling. Furthermore, Opel once again demonstrated that it has always sent the pulses of motorsport fans racing. The German brand also displayed an Opel Vectra B racing car from the Opel Classic collection.

Pure OMG! GSE power: New Opel Mokka GSE Rally and Opel Mokka GSE

At the Lausitzring, the new Opel Mokka GSE Rally was in its element at the weekend. Because the new rally electric car with the characteristic GSE abbreviation stands for goosebumps, speed and euphoria – perfect for the XS fans who had travelled to the event. From the outside, Opel Mokka GSE Rally, which was recently shown at the IAA Mobility in Munich, attracts attention with motorsport foiling including OMG! GSE lettering, black bonnet, yellow brake calipers and many other rally accents. The key technical data are even more impressive: 207 kW (281 hp) of peak power, 345 Newton metres of torque and sophisticated motorsport technology make the Mokka GSE Rally a unique all-electric rally car.

Best of all, Opel is also bringing this motorsport feeling to the general public in the form of the new Opel Mokka GSE, which is already available to order. With 207 kW (281 hp), the series electric car is just as powerful as its motorsport counterpart. And with the immediate torque of 345 Newton meters brisk acceleration is also guaranteed. Opel Mokka GSE accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds – and with a top speed of 200 km/h, it is now the fastest all-electric production Opel. The sophisticated technology, which is also inspired by the rally car, contributes to the extraordinary performance. For example, Opel Mokka GSE has a Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential as well as a chassis with specifically designed axles and new double hydraulic shock absorbers. All high-voltage components of the production Opel Mokka GSE come from Opel Mokka GSE Rally. The steering system, chassis and brakes have also been designed to be particularly sporty and optimised with Opel's experience from electric rallying.

Adventure calls: With the Opel Frontera GRAVEL show car

Eleswhere, a completely different Opel celebrated its second XS Carnight appearance at the Lausitzring: the Opel Frontera GRAVEL. The bold, all-electric show car had already caused a stir at its first public appearance at the XS Carnight on Lake Wörthersee in the spring. Now the adventurous version of the family-friendly SUV Frontera thrilled visitors to XS Cars'n'Coffee. The exterior design of the Frontera GRAVEL already awakens the desire to head off the beaten track thanks to its characteristic paintwork and foiling. The matt black roof and the matt black bonnet contrast with the ‘Desert Stone’ foil uniquely selected for Opel Frontera GRAVEL. Additional orange accents are provided by the exterior mirror housings, front and rear bumpers, spoiler and the Opel Blitz in the black Opel Vizor.

The rugged look is further enhanced by a front-mounted winch and hook, side storage boxes at the rear, and a robust lattice-style roof rack designed to maximise gear-carrying capacity for all adventures. And in keeping with the tougher challenges of rough gravel and stone surfaces, Opel Frontera GRAVEL stands on special, seven-inch-wide CWE-16-inch BORBET wheels.

Photovoltaic System for Eisenach Plant Goes Online: Opel Drives Green Transformation of its Sites

• Solar energy for the plant: Opel striving for climate-neutral production
• Sustainable production: PV system supplies 19 million kWh of electricity annually
• Future Headquarters in Rüsselsheim: Carbon-neutral grEEn-campus project started

Opel site in Eisenach is becoming more sustainable: On its way to carbon-neutral production, the plant in Thuringia is receiving green electricity from a new photovoltaic system from now on. With an installed capacity of almost 20 megawatt peak (MWp) and an annual electricity production of 19 million kilowatt hours (kWh), the system enables a direct, sustainable energy supply to the plant in Eisenach.

“At Opel, we are not only reducing our emissions footprint with cars like the Opel Grandland Electric from Eisenach. At Opel and Stellantis, we also have the goal of converting our production sites in a climate-friendly way. A green energy supply plays an important role in this. That is why I am very pleased that our Eisenach plant will also be powered by solar power from today on. The new photovoltaic system reduces CO2 emissions by more than 5,600 tons per year,” said Florian Huettl, CEO Opel & Vauxhall and Managing Director Stellantis Germany.

The 212,500 square metre photovoltaic system consists of almost 32,300 solar modules. It is located within the boundaries of Eisenach's neighbouring municipality of Krauthausen and was built within five months under the direction of Athos Solar. “The extremely complex drilling method for laying the more than seven-kilometre-long power line from Krauthausen to the Opel plant, which is gentle on nature and roads, was carried out by regional companies,” said Ralf Weidenhammer, Managing Director of Athos Solar GmbH. “With the inauguration of the Krauthausen solar park, Opel Eisenach and Athos Solar GmbH are sending a strong signal for the energy transition and sustainable industry.”

The cooperation between Opel and Athos Solar is carried out via a so-called Direct Wire PPA (Power Purchase Agreement). This model provides Opel with a long-term, calculable and climate-friendly source of electricity and at the same time relieves the burden on the public power grid.

grEEn-campus in Rüsselsheim: Preparations for sustainable company Headquarters

A major step towards climate neutrality is currently being taken with the grEEn-campus in Rüsselsheim. The construction site for the future headquarters of Opel and the German headquarters of Stellantis is currently being prepared. In the coming months, state-of-the-art and efficient offices and workplaces will be built there for employees from administration, design, research & development and sales. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place this September.

The focus of the planning is on sustainability. For example, the electricity requirements of the office buildings are covered by a photovoltaic system integrated into a green roof. This does not only support biodiversity but also creates a pleasant microclimate and contributes to cooling the buildings. Stellantis is also implementing similar projects in France and Italy.

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.

High performance in series production: that's what Opel's new fully electric GSE models stand for – and it all starts with the new Opel Mokka GSE. “With the Opel Mokka GSE, we are bringing rally feeling to the road,” promised Opel executives. And they are keeping their word. Coinciding with world premiere at the IAA Mobility in Munich, Opel has opened the order books for the new 207 kW (281 hp) GSE sports car.

Customers have a choice: they can lease the fully equipped Opel Mokka GSE, which is based on the Opel Mokka GSE Rally and thus comes directly from professional motorsport, from €399 per month 1 – with no down payment! Alternatively, they can buy the fastest battery-electric production Opel car at an attractive price of €47,300. And for those who value short-term flexibility, Opel and its partner FINN offer the new Mokka GSE in a practical car subscription.

Full electric power: 207 kW (281 hp), 200 km/h and GSE technology for the road

Above all, the new Opel Mokka GSE impresses with its strong performance. With a peak output of 207 kW (281 hp), the now available serial production electric car is just as powerful as its motorsport counterpart Opel Mokka GSE Rally. And with an immediate torque of 345 Newton meters, it accelerates just as uncompromisingly. From a standing start it can reach 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds – and with a top speed of 200 km/h, it is the fastest all-electric serial Opel car. Elsewhere, Mokka GSE drivers can choose from the three distinct drive modes ‘Sport’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Eco’. The Mokka GSE stores its energy in a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery.

Its sophisticated technology, which was also inspired by the rally prototype, also contributes to the exceptional performance. For example, Opel Mokka GSE has a Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential as well as a chassis with specially designed axles and new double hydraulic shock absorbers. All high-voltage components of the standard Opel Mokka GSE, such as the motor, inverter, battery and wiring harness, come from the Opel Mokka GSE Rally. The steering system, chassis and brakes have also been designed to be particularly sporty and optimised thanks to Opel's experience in electric rallying.

Pure emotions: Opel Mokka GSE with typical GSE and rally design

The new Opel Mokka GSE confidently conveys its ‘inner values’ also to the outside world. GSE-specific inserts inspired by the rally prototype adorn the compact electric car on the front apron and at the rear. Safe contact with the road is ensured by the wheel-tyre combination specially developed for the Mokka GSE. 

The new aerodynamically optimised 20-inch alloy wheels combined with the Michelin Pilot Sport EV 225/40 R20 tyres are only available for the Mokka GSE at Opel – as are the clearly visible yellow GSE four-piston brake calipers at the front wheels.

Inside, the driver and co-driver sit on special Alcantara GSE Performance seats with integrated headrests, which optimally integrate the driver into the vehicle. The steering system, which was newly developed for the Opel Mokka GSE, and steering wheel, flattened at the top and bottom, promise direct feedback while aluminium sports pedals await acceleration and braking commands.

The necessary information is provided to the driver by the 10-inch digital driver information display that can be customised in many ways and the central colour touchscreen plus navigation system. The screen contains additional information like GSE performance data, G-force display, acceleration values, battery management data and much more. The displays were also designed in the typical GSE style. Furthermore, numerous safety systems are included as standard. These range from glare-free IntelliLux Matrix light to automatic speed assistant and active lane keeping assist to a 180-degree rear-view camera. Features such as multi-stage seat heating for the driver and co-driver and a heated steering wheel enhance comfort in everyday driving. And compatible smartphones can, of course, be charged wirelessly.

Thus, the new Opel Mokka GSE is characterised by emotional sportiness and maximum comfort, as well as a technically high-quality and highly dynamic design down to the smallest detail, both inside and out. Available to order now, the first Mokka GSE models are expected to be delivered to customers by the end of the year.
