Opel’s Grandland flagship ‘goes under the knife’ with a nip and tuck. The Grandland is the bigger brother of the Opel Mokka and Opel Crossland and flies the flag for the range of SUVs and crossovers for the Opel brand.

What’s new?
Exterior:
The new Grandland’s design displays typically clear lines and now features the Opel Vizor design treatment first seen with the introduction of the Mokka. The signature Opel crease accents on the bonnet form part of Opel’s new design language.
This design philosophy is also reflected at the rear with the Grandland name and the Blitz brand logo now in the middle of the tailgate.
Further accents are set by the bumpers and side panels, now in high-gloss black or body colour depending on the version, as well as the underbody skid-plates in high-gloss black and silver. The new model is also available with the characteristic two-tone roof.
Interior:
With the fully digital Pure Panel, the new model offers the driver a completely different cockpit experience. The Opel SUV flagship also features additional technologies and assistance systems that, until now, could only be found in higher-end models.
Designed for comfort and ergonomics, the seats are trimmed in Cloth in Grandland. The Grandland GS Line (trimmed in Alcantara), and the Grandland Ultimate (trimmed in leather) go even further, offering a host of additional adjustments such as electric seat tilt to electro-pneumatic lumbar support. They offer heating and in the leather trim, even ventilation.
Comfort is further increased by “Keyless Open & Start” and the sensor-controlled power tailgate in Ultimate models can be opened and closed by a movement of the foot under the rear bumper.
Another highlight in Opel’s SUV flagship is the adaptive IntelliLux LED® Pixel Lights available on the GS and Ultimate models. The 168 LED elements integrated into the sides of the new Opel Vizor brand face result in a seamless adaptation of the light beam according to the driving situation.
Also new, in combination with automatic transmission, is Highway Integration Assist. Using a camera and radar sensors, the system combines various assistants.
Additional systems such as front and rear cameras, automatic parking assis and blind spot warning are included in the extensive portfolio of safety systems.
Model range and engines:
The upgraded range continues to offer three models. The range now starts with Grandland, features a Grandland GS Line mid-range model and top-of-the range Grandland Ultimate. All models continue to be powered by Opel’s 121 kW 1.6T engine with 240 Nm of torque mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Pricing:
Grandland (R599 900), Grandland GS Line (R679 900) and Grandland Ultimate (R720 900).
