Stellantis Unveils New Opel Grandland, Hints at Future Jeep® Compass

Stellantis has officially unveiled its all-new Opel Grandland, a top-tier C-segment crossover aimed at the enlarged European market. The Grandland’s latest iteration is built on the cutting-edge STLA Medium platform, set to power other Stellantis models, including the next Jeep® Compass (J4U).

With its innovative electrified powertrains and advanced technology, the Opel Grandland offers an enticing preview of what may be on the horizon for the Jeep brand. This Grandland debut shows how Stellantis continues emphasizing electrification across its portfolio.

Electrified Powertrains: A Variety of Options – 

The Opel brand has engineered three electrified options for the new Grandland, catering to various driving preferences. The base model features a 48-volt hybrid starting at €36,400 ($38,500 USD), while the higher-powered plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version begins at €40,150 ($42,500 USD). Both hybrid options combine a fuel-efficient turbocharged 1.2-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor, producing 136 horsepower (100 kW) in the hybrid and 195 horsepower (143 kW) in the PHEV, with a peak torque of 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) for responsive power in town and on the highway. The all-electric Grandland Electric offers up to 213 horsepower (157 kW) and starts at €46,750 ($49,500 USD). It has a WLTP-certified range of up to 523 kilometers (325 miles) on a single charge.

For even more range, Opel offers the Grandland Electric GS, equipped with an 82 kWh battery, extending its range up to 582 kilometers (362 miles). Future configurations with a 97 kWh battery will be able to travel an impressive 700 kilometers (435 miles) on a single charge. Fast-charging capability is also available, allowing the Grandland to recharge from 0 to 80% in under 30 minutes at public fast-charging stations.

A Look That Commands Attention – 

With a 3D Vizor and illuminated Opel Blitz emblem front and center, the Grandland’s design makes a bold statement. The redesigned rear includes permanent “OPEL” lettering, providing a clean, streamlined look that emphasizes the SUV’s stance. Measuring 4.65 meters (183 inches) in length, 1.93 meters (76 inches) in width, and 1.66 meters (65 inches) in height, the Grandland is longer, wider, and taller than previous models, giving it a roomier interior and a visually commanding profile.

Luxurious Interior with Sustainable Touches – 

Inside, the Grandland blends modern technology with sustainable design, using recycled materials for upholstery and trim. The ergonomic front seats are certified by the German Campaign for Healthier Backs (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.) and offer exceptional lumbar support, with multiple adjustments for a personalized experience. The center console boasts a Pixel Box, a semi-transparent storage compartment holding 36 liters of storage space for small items, while a wireless phone charging pad is positioned behind the Pixel Box’s glass surface, making it easy to charge and locate devices without distraction.

For drivers and passengers alike, the SUV’s expanded dimensions provide additional legroom in the second row, while the 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats allow for flexible configurations and an impressive 1,645 liters (58 cubic feet) of cargo space with the rear seats folded down.

Advanced Technology and Safety Features – 

The Opel Grandland comes packed with driver-assistance technologies, including an Intelli-HUD head-up display, Intelli-Vision 360-degree camera system, and Automatic Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go. Opel’s Intelli-Lux HD light system, with over 50,000 micro-LEDs, enhances nighttime visibility and adjusts beam patterns to reduce glare for oncoming traffic.

Opel’s Intelli-HUD minimizes distraction by projecting essential information into the driver’s line of sight. The cluster is fully digital and accompanied by a 10—or 16-inch central display that can be simplified with “Pure Mode,” which dims the screens during nighttime driving to improve focus.

What the Grandland Means for the Jeep® Compass – 

The next-generation Jeep® Compass is expected to share the STLA Medium architecture with the Grandland, benefiting from the same emphasis on electrification, spaciousness, and technology. With Jeep’s continued global popularity, the new Compass will likely integrate many of the Grandland’s features, including multiple electric powertrains, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and a modular interior layout that enhances comfort and versatility.

The Grandland’s German-engineered design also highlights Opel’s move towards a greener future with Stellantis’ “Greenovation” approach, which avoids chrome and uses recycled materials. This environmentally friendly direction, combined with a robust electrified portfolio, will help Opel and Jeep make strides in the European market, where demand for fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles continues to grow.
