New Opel Grandland GSe: The high-performance SUV!

Immediately after the announcement of Astra GSe and Astra Sports Tourer GSe is already positioning the next dynamic model of Opel's new electrified sub-brand: the new Opel Grandland GSE – GSe stands for “Gall Sport eelectric". High-performance hybrid SUVs combine sporty driving characteristics with flexibility and style. The mixture of dynamics and grippy electric all-wheel drive attracts passionate drivers. The new Opel Grandland GSe is a real pioneer in this field: Because while this type of vehicle has so far mostly been found in the premium segment, the electrified SUV that will roll off the assembly line in Eisenach in the future will soon be making its way into the popular C segment.

Opel Grandland GSE

“The new Opel Grandland GSe is extraordinarily dynamic, powerful and stylish. We are sure that it will attract customers who not only want to drive an electrified SUV, but one with an even sportier drive system," says Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

The new Grandland GSe bundles the power of a 1,6 liter turbo petrol engine and two electric motors – one on each axle. This results in a system output of up to 221 kW/300 hp. The plug-in hybrid drive makes the Grandland GSe a strong athlete with permanent electric all-wheel drive and excellent traction, and ensures best-in-class acceleration values ​​from a standing start. The GSe sprints from zero to 6,1 km/h in just 100 seconds and reaches it a top speed of 235 km/h (135 km/h purely electric).

Driving pleasure at first sight: Top technology and sharp design

As with the Astra GSe models, the unique tuning of the chassis and steering is primarily responsible for the particularly dynamic driving pleasure of the Opel Grandland GSe. Equipped with McPherson struts on the front axle and a multi-link axle at the rear, the sportiest Opel SUV uses firmer springs and dampers with KONI-FSD technology (Frequency Selective Damping). Depending on the situation, this technology enables different damping characteristics for handling and comfort. In this way, the Grandland GSe reacts immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the motorway.

Characteristic GSe styling highlights give the bold and clear Grandland design including the Opel Vizor brand face even more sharpness: These include those of the all-electric Manta GSe inspired 19-inch alloy wheels as well as a special rear diffuser and the GSe lettering on the tailgate. As a further distinguishing feature, the Grandland GSe can be adorned with an optional black bonnet. Inside, the driver and front passenger can make themselves comfortable on AGR-certified, exclusive GSe performance seats with Alcantara equipment - further proof of the excellent quality and expertise of Opel seat development. The GSe performance seats ensure that the pilot and co-pilot always have a firm grip during dynamic driving, while their spine benefits from the comfortable and ergonomic design of the seats.
