Opel Grandland Plug-in Hybrid GS covered 1,115 km with a single charge

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.

2025 Opel Mokka

In 2021, Opel revealed the first generation of its subcompact crossover SUV Mokka, and in 2021, the second generation of this model arrived on the market. Now the German company has decided to present a refreshed edition with several novelties.

Visually, it is difficult to distinguish the refreshed version from the current second generation Opel Mokka. However, a better look shows that the front bumper has been redesigned, which contributes to better aerodynamics, as well as the absence of fog lights from the lower intake. There are also front and rear LED graphics with three vertically aligned blocks like those of the Frontera and Grandland. The Opel Vizor got a new integrated Blitz logo, and there are no more chrome inserts.

Inside, the steering wheel, matte silver center console with USB-C port have been redesigned, while the smaller buttons and gear lever are taken over from the Grandland. There is also a digital cockpit with two 10-inch screens, a new infotainment system with smartphone-like widgets, improved voice recognition, navigation with integrated ChatGPT, while a 180-degree rear camera is an option.

When it comes to the powertrain, the base Mokka comes with a 1.2-L turbo three-cylinder engine with 136 hp (100 kW), mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the front wheels. Customers can also choose a version with mild hybrid technology that combines a 1.2-L engine with a 28 hp electric motor, and a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The most powerful version is powered by a single electric motor with 156 hp (115 kW), and is equipped with a 54 kWh battery.

Speaking of the price, the new Opel Mokka with ICE in Germany costs 26,740 euros, the hybrid version 29,740 euros, while the all-electric version is the most expensive and costs 36,740 euros.

2025 Opel Grandland Electric

A few years ago, following the other manufacturers in the Stellantis Group, Opel announced that it plans to become a fully electric brand by the end of the decade. The plan is still alive despite the difficulties affecting the car market, and the company recently introduced the new generation Opel Grandland.

At first glance, there are no major design differences between this all-electric compact crossover SUV and the hybrid version that will also be offered. It is equipped with a 3D Visor front fascia with an illuminated logo, an option of a dual-tone exterior color and illuminated brand’s lettering in center on the full-width taillights, which is the first time on a production Opel car, and Intelli-Lux Pixel HD lighting system.

Inside, the ergonomically adjustable seats covered in Nappa leather have an Intelli-Seat groove in the center and a cooling function and various massage programs. In front of the driver and front passenger are a 16-inch central touchscreen, a small fully digital instrument cluster, and an Intelli-HUD head-up display, with AGR (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.) certification. The multimedia platform and instruments will be adapted to the drive system with special graphics that display different information such as battery charge, energy consumption or driving modes for better use.

When it comes to the powertrain, the new Grandland Electric is powered by an electric motor with 213 hp (157 kW). It is equipped with a new generation battery with three levels of net capacity of 73 kWh, 82 kWh and 97 kWh, which enables a range of 523, 582 and 700 kilometers. Thanks to the fast charger, the batteries can be charged up to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes.

The car will be produced in Eisenach (Germany) with a starting price of 39,850 euros.
