Opel Grandland AWD: A Balanced Electric SUV with Competitive Performance
The latest addition to Opel's lineup, the Grandland AWD, is making waves in the electric SUV market. With its powerful 325 PS (239 kW) and dual-motor all-wheel drive, this multifunctional vehicle offers competitive performance in its class.
The Grandland AWD boasts a 98 kWh battery, providing a WLTP range of up to 311 miles. Its acceleration from 0 to 62 mph is approximately 6.0 seconds, making it a responsive choice for those seeking a dynamic drive.
Fast charging is another key advantage of the Grandland AWD. It supports DC fast charging at 185 kW, allowing the battery to be charged from 20 to 80 percent in approximately 26 minutes. This makes it an ideal choice for everyday commuting and longer trips.
In comparison to other electric SUVs in its class, the Grandland AWD stands out with its balanced performance. While acceleration times can vary among competitors, with some models managing around 5.5 seconds and others taking up to 7.5 seconds, the Grandland AWD's range of 311 miles is on par with many competitors.
The Grandland's interior design is modern and practical, featuring a large touchscreen and adequate legroom in the second row. The seats, certified by "Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.", offer comfort for long drives.
The Grandland AWD is not just about performance and technology. It also excels in practicality. With a towing capacity equivalent to nearly 1,600 liters, it offers ample space for luggage.
The Grandland's stylish design, highlighted by a red-illuminated Opel logo on the rear, attracts attention on the streets, even among those not particularly interested in Opel.
The Grandland, now available with All-Wheel Drive, provides comfortable transportation to distant destinations, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile electric SUV.
Further details:
- The AWD setup with two electric motors provides strong and direct power, especially noticeable in Sport mode, boosting driving dynamics.
- The single-motor FWD variant offers longer range (up to 425 miles) but less power and slower acceleration (~7.5 seconds), while the AWD trades some range for performance.
- Interior and tech features, including a 16” touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, ergonomic seats, and safety assist systems, make the Grandland AWD competitive as a practical electric SUV.
In conclusion, the Opel Grandland AWD with 325 PS offers a balanced blend of performance, range, and fast charging capability, making it a strong contender in the electric SUV market. Models with similar power and AWD tend to have comparable acceleration but may have slightly shorter range or slower charging.
