The all-new 2024 Opel Grandland has arrived, marking a bold departure from the last generation. Set to be available later this year as both an Opel across mainland Europe and as a Vauxhall in the UK, the Grandland brings with it a slew of luxury features that elevate it into a unique new space.As we reported all the way back in November of 2023, the Grandland will be offered in both all-electric and combustion-powered options.

It gains an additional 6.8 inches (173 mm) in overall length, 0.7 inches (19 mm) in height, and 2.5 inches (64 mm) in width. With these increases, the Grandland now measures in at 183.1 inches (4,650 mm) long, 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, and 65.4 inches (1,660 mm) tall. It also rides on a long wheelbase of 109.6 inches (2,784 mm).

As a result, boot space increases by 36 liters, and rear-seat passengers benefit from an additional 0.8 inches (20 mm) of legroom compared to the outgoing generation.EV And ICE OptionsBuilt on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform (shared with the Peugeot 3008), the Grandland boasts versatility. Like its larger sibling, this platform can accommodate various powertrain and drivetrain layouts. In the electric versions, the Grandland offers a choice between a 73 kWh or a 98 kWh battery pack.

Utilizing a 400V architecture, these EVs can DC fast charge up to 160 kW, achieving an impressive range of up to 700 km (435 miles). While not confirmed now, expect a base FWD version at launch along with a dual-motor version coming down the line after that. Perhaps the more interesting news is that a combustion version is coming too and it includes a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine and a 48-volt mild hybrid system, with a plug-in hybrid variant to follow later offering around 50 miles of pure-electric range.
