Opel will be the only European carmaker to offer a BEV equivalent to each of its models in 2024
- Opel (a subsidiary of the Stellantis group) will become the only European carmaker to offer a battery electric vehicle (BEV) equivalent to each of its models in 2024.
- Indeed, the entire range of the carmaker will soon be available in a pure battery electric version.
1. The Corsa (B-segment sedan), the Mokka (B-segment SUV), the Astra (C-segment sedan) as well as the Combo (N1-1), Vivaro(N1-2) and Movano(N1-3) light utility vehicles are already available in a battery electric version.
2. Will be available in a BEV version in 2024: the Crossland (B-segment SUV) and Grandland (C-segment SUV) when they are renewed in 2024.
- As for the D-segment sedan, the Insignia, it has just disappeared and will never have a battery electric version. But a new D-segment model (probably named Manta) is expected to be launched in 2025 or 2026 with a battery electric version. Opel says it wants to offer only BEVs from 2028.
- What is the share of BEVs within the Opel models range in the first 5 months of 2023? BEVs represent 13% of Corsa sales during this period, 24% of Mokka sales, 12% of Combo sales, 27% of Vivaro sales. For the Astra and the Movano, it is still too early to have significant figures.
- We can see that by observing these data, it will be difficult for Opel to achieve its goal of selling 100% of BEVs in five years.
