The new Grandland is positioned above the recently introduced Frontera in the Opel lineup.
The new Grandland is significantly larger than the outgoing model. It gains an additional 173 mm in overall length, 19 mm in height and 64 mm in width. With these increases, the Grandland now measures 4,650 mm long, 1,905 mm wide and 1,660 mm high.
It also has a longer wheelbase of 2,784 mm. As a result, boot space increases by 36 liters and rear-seat passengers benefit from an additional 20 mm of legroom compared to the previous generation.
The Grandland is built on the STLA Medium platform, which can accommodate various powertrains and drivetrains.
Opel Grandland (2024)
The Grandland offers a choice of two battery packs in its electric versions: a 73 kWh and a 98 kWh. Both packs utilize a 400V architecture and can be charged at 160 kW via DC fast charging, allowing for an impressive range of up to 700 km (435 miles). It is currently unclear whether a base FWD version will be available at launch, but a dual-motor version is expected to be introduced at a later date.
Additionally, an internal combustion version is forthcoming, featuring a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine and a 48-volt mild hybrid system. A plug-in hybrid variant is planned for later release, offering approximately 80 kilometers of pure-electric range.
The new features include a new illuminated logo at the front, a ‘Vizor’ style front along with Intelli-Lux Pixel Matrix HD lighting, a two-tone floating roof, and sharp wheel-arch feature lines.
The interior is full of upgrades as well, including a large 16-inch infotainment screen, a head-up display, and some seriously trick seats. These seats get powered side bolsters, ventilation, and even a massage function. There's also a slot in the front seats specifically designed to relieve pressure on your tailbone.
The standard equipment includes, among other things, automatic cruise control with a stop-and-go function, extended traffic sign recognition, intelligent speed adjustment with post-collision braking. The so-called “Intelli-Drive 2.0” system is optionally available, which bundles many electronic helpers and combines them with a semi-automatic lane change assistant and intelligent speed adjustment. To do this, the system not only uses sensors, but also networked over-the-air information. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a parking pilot, a reversing camera with a self-cleaning function, and a 360-degree camera.
Opel has not yet announced a launch date for the Grandland, but it is expected to go on sale in late summer or early fall. Further details about the internal combustion engine range and fuel efficiency will be released before then. The price for the Grandland Electric is expected to be around 50,000 euros.
