Inovev forecasts 65,000 units a year for the new Opel Grandland SUV
- The Stellantis group has released the second generation of its Opel GrandlandSUV, which is 17 centimeters longer than the previous generation, going from 4.48 m to 4.65 m, making it a model between the C and D segments. This increase is explained by the fact that the Frontera, an SUV located just below in the Opel range, has increased in length by 18 centimeters (from 4.21 m to 4.39 m) compared to its previous generation named Crossland. The two Opel SUVs therefore grow in the same proportions, thereby leaving more room for the Opel Mokka, an 4.16 m long B-segment SUV. With its dimensions, the Grandlandis positioned between the 3008 and 5008, in comparison with its Peugeot equivalent models
- The new Grandland is based on the STLA-Medium platform, shared with the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, and powered by a 1.2 mild-hybrid (MHEV) 48V petrol engine with 136 hp (100 kW), a 1.6 plug-in hybrid engine with 195 hp (143 kW), a pure electric motor of 210 hp (155 kW) coupled to a 73 kWh battery allowing a range of 500 km according to the WLTP cycle and a pure electric motor of 230 hp (170 kW) coupled to a battery of 98 kWh allowing a range of 660 km.
- The new Grandland competes with C/D segment SUVs such as the Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 5008, Citroën C5 Aircross, Renault Austral, Renault Espace, Nissan Qashqai, Nissan X-Trail, Ford Kuga, Ford Explorer EV, Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen ID4, Skoda Kodiaq, Skoda Enyaq, Seat Tarraco, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Toyota Corolla Cross, Toyota RAV4 and Tesla Model Y. In a way, the new Grandland could also interest owners of the old Opel Insignia (D segment sedan).
