2023 has been a banner year for Opel, the German automaker known for its sporty and practical cars. With 15 electrified models now in their portfolio, Opel is rapidly making strides towards a fully electric future.
One of the highlights of the year was the IAA Mobility show in Munich, where Opel unveiled the visionary Opel Experimental. This sleek and futuristic concept car showcases the brand’s design direction for the future, with a focus on bold lines, spacious interiors, and sustainable materials.
But Opel isn’t just about concept cars. They’re also making electric vehicles accessible to everyone with models like the Astra Electric and Corsa Electric. These cars offer stylish design, ample range, and exciting performance, all without the emissions of a gasoline engine.
For those who need a little more space, Opel also offers electric versions of their popular commercial vehicles, the Combo, Vivaro, and Movano. These vans are perfect for businesses and families alike, with plenty of cargo space and the same zero-emissions driving experience as their passenger car counterparts.
Opel’s commitment to electric vehicles extends beyond just offering a wide range of models. They’re also investing in the infrastructure needed to support them. This includes partnering with charging companies to install more charging stations across Europe.
Looking ahead to 2024, Opel is planning to celebrate two major milestones. First, they’ll mark 125 years of automobile manufacturing. Second, they’ll offer at least one battery-electric model in every carline, including the highly anticipated successor to the Crossland SUV.
With its strong focus on electric vehicles, innovative design, and commitment to sustainability, Opel is well-positioned for a bright future.
