Opel is taking a solid step towards electrification and they hope to end the year with a share of this type of plug-in vehicle that exceeds that of an internal combustion engine, he said.
Vincent Lehoucqthe brand’s new general manager for Spain and Portugal, at his annual meeting with the press.

Lehoucq discussed the evolution of Opel based on its long tradition of 160 years of history. A story that testifies to its ability to adapt to the times and “that has taken a giant step in the past year with the renewal of the range”, according to the manager.

“Electrification
marks us all and of course also Opel, especially in a complicated context, with the pandemic, the microchip crisis, the war in Ukraine, collapsed logistics problems and the energy costs that have led to inflation,” Lehoucq analyzes.

Circumstances that have not stopped the renewal of the range since 2017. A fact that meant that Opel will become a profitable brand from 2018 and will ensure that that profitability also reaches the dealers. In 2024, the German brand Stellantis will have a 100% electric range and from 2028 it will only sell vehicles, Lehoucq emphasizes.

The renewal of the Astra has played an important role in Opel’s good results. The New Astra has landed in Spain with two PHEV alternatives
crown the range with maximum powers of 180 hp and 225 hpto which will soon be added both the Opel Astra Electric and the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric, which will offer a torque of 270 Nm, a power of 156 hp, a WLTP autonomy of 416 km and a maximum speed of 170 km/h.

Among SUVs, the new Opel Grandland joins the electrification process with two PHEV versions: the New Grandland Hybrid: front-wheel drive. and 225 hp, and the Grandland Hybrid4, with 4×4 e-AWD drive and two electric motors, front and rear, that work with the petrol engine to develop 300 hp

Without leaving the SUV, the
Opel Mokka-e becomes Opel Mokka Electric after gaining power, autonomy and charging speed thanks to the integration of a new 54 kWh battery, which allows it to develop 156 hp and guarantee a range of 406 km, according to the WLTP standard, which also offers three driving modes: Normal , Eco and Sports.

Also this 2022
it has been a key year for the commercial vehicles of the brand, which already has electrified versions throughout its range. Models such as the Opel Combo, Vivaro and Movano have 100% electric alternatives that offer features and payloads identical to their thermal companions. On the other hand, families looking for a versatile and comfortable car, the Opel Zafira-e Life and Combo-e Life offer all the interior space and modularity of these models with the benefits of electric mobility.

In terms of anniversaries and anniversaries, the Opel Corsa has celebrated its 40th birthday this year and has remained true to its youthful and daring spirit since the launch of its first generation in 1982. The four decades of the urban brand are accompanied by a numbered limited edition very special, the
Opel Corsa 40th anniversaryWith only 1,982 numbered units on sale across Europe, it includes nods to the Opel Corsa A, such as its new body color Rekord Red, which is very similar to the one used 40 years ago to present this model, and a reinterpretation of the legendary cover. of Scottish plaid.

Finally, in 2022 there was a return to the Opel range of some mythical acronyms: GSe, which as a sub-brand defines the sportiest electrified versions and with
a wide equipment level within the ranges of each model.
