New Opel Grandland Arrives in SA - pricing

The all-new Opel Grandland has landed in South Africa, bringing futuristic design elements from the Opel Experimental concept car to production reality.

Priced at R789,900, this family SUV introduces several industry firsts alongside significant improvements in size and technology.

The standout feature is the 3D Vizor with illuminated Griffin logo at its center, flanked by the revolutionary Intelli-Lux Pixel HD lighting system.

This cutting-edge technology uses over 50,000 individual elements to deliver precise high-definition light distribution, automatically cutting out oncoming traffic while maintaining optimal brightness.

“The all-new Grandland is a milestone for Opel. The relationship to the Opel Experimental is unmistakable. It offers innovations that were first seen on this extraordinary concept car. The new Grandland will therefore strengthen our position in the important family crossover segment,” said Mike Whitfield, Managing Director, Stellantis South Africa.

The new Grandland has grown substantially compared to its predecessor – 173mm longer, 19mm taller, and 64mm wider. At 4,650mm long and 1,905mm wide, it sits on 19-inch alloy wheels and commands a confident road presence. The long 2,784mm wheelbase translates to increased interior space, while boot capacity has grown to 550 litres with seats up, expanding to 1,645 litres with rear seats folded.

Inside, a 16-inch central display dominates the dashboard, while a fully digital cluster provides essential driver information. The Intelli-HUD head-up display keeps eyes on the road, and Pure Mode can be activated to reduce screen clutter during challenging driving conditions. Physical buttons remain for climate control functions.

The AGR-certified seats introduce powered bolsters with pneumatic pockets for improved lateral support, plus ventilation and massage functions for the driver. Rear passengers enjoy 20mm more legroom than before. All interior fabrics are 100% recycled, supporting Opel’s sustainability goals.

Storage solutions include the innovative Pixel Box with illuminated translucent glass housing a wireless smartphone charger. The vehicle offers over 35 litres of interior storage compartments throughout the cabin.

The Grandland GS Line 1.6T features a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 134kW and 240Nm, paired with an automatic transmission. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.0 l/100km combined and 5.3 l/100km on the highway.

Chassis technology includes frequency selective damping (FSD) that adapts damping force based on road conditions and driving style. This provides comfort over rough surfaces while maintaining sporty handling when needed.

Standard safety features include Automatic Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Adaptation, and In Crash Braking.

The Intelli-Drive 2.0 system offers semi-automatic lane-change assist, while parking is simplified with front and rear sensors, rear-view camera, and 360-degree Intelli-Vision camera.

The Grandland comes with a 5-year/100,000km warranty with roadside assistance, plus a 12-year/unlimited kilometre anti-corrosion warranty. Service intervals are set at 12 months or 15,000km, with the first five years or 90,000km covered by Opel’s service plan.
