Like its Astra GSe siblings, the Grandland GSe gets unique suspension and steering calibration. With McPherson struts at the front and a multi-link axle at the rear, Opel's SUV features firmer springs and dampers with KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology, which enables different damping characteristics for handling versus comfort. As a result, the Grandland GSe "responds immediately and predictably to every driver input while retaining Opel's typical stability under braking, in corners and on the Autobahn".
The Grandland GSe's exterior is characterized by some unique styling cues, including 19-inch light-alloy wheels, a rear diffusor and a tailgate emblem. As a further distinguishing feature, the Grandland GSe is optionally available with a black bonnet. The cabin features AGR-certified, Alcantara-trimmed front seats that have been designed for ergonomic comfort.
Opel Grandland GSe
Grandland GSe combines a 1.6 turbocharged petrol engine and two electric motors - one at each axle - for a combined power output of up to 221 kW/300 hp. The car can go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.1 seconds and can reach a top speed of 235 kilometers per hour (135 kilometers per hour when driven electrically).
Although pricing wasn't announced for the Grandland GSe by Opel, it is most likely that it will be the priciest model in its SUV variety. The company claimed that the market launch of the GSe would occur shortly.
