The Grandland Plug-in Hybrid GS is a new crossover from the German brand Opel, which is currently in the final stages of testing. Although it has not yet been launched, it has already shown that it will be a serious competitor in the market. A few days ago, it covered 1,115 kilometers with one tank of fuel and one battery charge.

The Opel Grandland PHEV has 195 hp and 350 Nm of torque, and during the test it achieved an average output of 4.6 liters per 100 kilometers traveled at an average speed of 80 km/h. The test was carried out under stricter conditions than the WLTP, and included various roads, traffic jams and the urban cycle in one of the largest German cities (Frankfurt). The car was equipped with 19-inch winter tires instead of summer tires, and the air temperature ranged from 4 to 11 degrees.

On the 1,115-kilometer drive, the crossover covered about 380 kilometers in electric mode. The battery was charged during braking, and a total of four breaks were taken throughout the test to meet legal requirements.

Opel is very satisfied with the achieved result, and they believe that the plug-in hybrid crossover would achieve a longer range in optimal conditions at higher temperatures. This hints that we could soon see another test, at least in the summer.
