1.4 l / 100 km, but with 300 hp and 520 Nm: Opel Grandland X Hybrid4

Power and efficiency x 3 = 300 hp, 520 Nm, 3 engines, average fuel consumption of 1.4 l / 100 km (incl. Up to 60 km only on electricity). Opel claims electrification can be fun too. We check and confirm.

 

 

 

I am traveling to Basel during the first of the four major majors of the year. Djokovic won the record eighth title in Melbourne, trailing two after Nadal and three after Maestro. The Serb has no stopping on Australian soil, but Roger Federer remains the best (in my opinion), an example of millions around the world. That's why my enthusiasm is more than understandable, landing in Federer's hometown, in which he has 10 wins in a tennis tournament.

But I'm landing on Swiss land on another occasion. It is Opel's first plug-in hybrid (and the first compact plug-in crossover in Germany).

The interesting thing about the airport in Basel is the exit from it, where you reach three corridors, each with a sign: Switzerland, France, Germany. This is the symbolism that led the organizers to prefer the city of the Fed to the dynamic premiere of the Opel Grandland X Hybrid4, which offers the best of three-wheel drive.

3 is better than 1. I am convinced (once again) that after testing the Opel Grandland X plug-in hybrid, relying on a 1.6-liter 200hp turbocharged engine. and two 81 and 83 kW (front and rear) electric motors that provide a system output of 300 hp.

After launching its first electric car (e-Corsa), it is now the first plug-in hybrid to continue the PACE! Plan. Both models are the first of their kind to contribute to the electrification of the entire Opel model range by 2024.

What is the success of the plug-in formula? It is based on studies that say that about 80% of daily trips to Germany (and most of the world) are less than 50 km away.

This means that owners of the Grandland X Hybrid4 could (in theory) travel without releasing any harmful emissions into the atmosphere, as the model can only travel up to 59 km (WLTP) on electricity. However, to do this, they need to charge their car at least (and preferably at home and in the office) once a day.

The 13.2 kWh lithium-ion battery, located under the rear seats, is charged for about 2 hours on a 7.4kW wallbox. The result is that it can only travel up to 59 km (WLTP) on electricity.

Charging time depends on the type of charger used. In addition to the commercially available home mains cable, Opel also offers fast charging devices for public stations and wallbox wall chargers at home. For example, from a 7.4 kW wallbox module, a 13.2 kWh battery is fully charged in about 2 hours.

The model offers four drive modes: Electric (with e-Save to save battery power for the moment you want), Hybrid, All-Wheel Drive and Sport (AWD with electric rear axle).
The model offers four drive modes: “Electric” (with “e-Save” function to conserve battery power for your desired moment), “Hybrid”, “All-Wheel Drive” and “Sport” (AWD with electric rear axis).

The hybrid Grandland X stands out with its attractive blue and red colors, which can be broken with a black front cover, speakers, sills, side mirror covers and ceiling. Most attractively, the car looks to the side, contributing to the reverse C-pillar and the sharply descending line of the roof. It is accentuated by a chrome window trim and chrome roof rails. These two parts are successfully combined with the side edge through the door to give an extremely sporty yet elegant profile.

To facilitate the charging process, the model can also take advantage of the special solutions and services for electric vehicles offered by Free2Move Services. The offer includes a charging card that gives access to more than 85,000 charging stations across Europe.

But the focus here is the drive. And it is built on the latest hybrid technologies. First of all, it is 1.6-liter
