Video Summary
The Opel Grandland electric car will be available with 3 motorizations. In its first period, it will come with 2 battery sizes, and later, a bigger one will become available. It will also come micro-hybrid and hybrid plugin versions.The thermal engine is a 1200 cc 3-cylinder petrol engine, which Stellaris improved upon.
The electric version, with the largest battery, 82 kWh, will arrive in 2025, while the one being driven in the review is the 73 kWh battery version. The version with the 73 kWh battery can recharge a maximum of 150 kW, while the version with the 82 kWh battery can charge to 160 kW.
The first version has 524 km of autonomy, while the bigger one has 582 km, with a WLTP average consumption of 16.9 kWh per 100 km or 17.8 kWh per 100 km.
The motor is the same for both versions, a synchronous motor with 157kW, 213 HP, and 345 Nm of torque. This is a significant torque, but not extreme.
The car has an acceleration from 0 to 100 kmh in 9 seconds, and maximum speed of 170 kmh. The car weighs 2,120 to 2,130 kilos. It is built to be well soundproofed, but at high speeds aerodynamic noise is more influential, which can cause fatigue.
In base configuration, Tesla Model Y is the adversary of the Grandland, but has comparable autonomy and greater power.
This Opel provides 9 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh, and has a speed limit of 170 kmh, in order to save battery power.
The mild hybrid uses a 48 V system along with a 1200 cc 3-cylinder petrol engine. In addition, a small 21 kW electric system is included with 51Nm of torque. It is expected to be at 5.5 l/100km of fuel, and the car has a 6-gear DCT change.
The car is 4.65 m long, making it appropriate in size for Italian roads. It has great space in the interior, with an OK volume for the trunk for the size. A 16-inch infotainment is available in one version.
The electrical version uses a rear multi link axis, that is better for the weight and driving dynamics. But the mild hybrid uses a torsional bridge.
