Not Only an EV—It’s Opel’s Most Powerful Car Ever

Opel is not a manufacturer known for shouting numbers.
But that stops today.

Their new Grandland Electric AWD produces an exhilarating 321 hp—so it's now their most powerful Opel you can buy.

Not a mistake.

A family EV is now the performance king of the Opel line-up.

Quick Specs:

  • All Wheel Drive with Dual Motor
  • 321 hp total system output
  • Instant torque, instant fun
  • Likely based on Stellantis STLA Medium platform

More Dynamic. Bigger Impression.

Opel didn’t just refresh the technology—they performed a total body makeover.

The front now sports the brand’s new “Vizor” face—a distinctive, crisp, sporty, and futuristic look.


Visual signposts of the change:

  • Wider and more aggressive stance
  • Sleeker LED light with modern characteristic
  • Cool two-tone paint for a sharper finish
  • Cleaner lines, bolder character

Yes, It’s a Family SUV… But Make It Fast

The Grandland is still practical—but with this much power, it’s far from a snoozefest.

Think of it this way

It’s what happens when a rational crossover goes to the local gym and commits.

  • Daily-driver ready
  • Weekend-road-trip champ
  • Fast-lane surprise package

This is the crossover that says, "Sure, I'll drop the kids off. But we are doing it in 300+ horses.

What If Opel Came Back to the U.S.?

Opel may not still sell cars in the U.S., but man—this Grandland could turn heads in LA or Brooklyn.

It has the premium swagger of a BMW X1, the electric punch of a Model Y, and a look that wouldn't feel out of place in SoHo.

Can you imagine this badge coming back to American roads:

Eye-catching design

  • AWD power for all-weather confidence
  • Affordable Euro-modern vibes

Since Stellantis has access to Opel and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, this platform could definitely spill into more stateside vehicles down the line as well.

Fun, Family-Friendly & Future-Ready

The Grandland isn't being outrageous.
It also will not be boring.

It reminds people that electric SUVs can still have personality.

When one arrives with 321 hp and sharp looks, it should only make you think of driving it at the Pacific Coast Highway, or Times Square.
