2025 OPEL GRANDLAND ELECTRIC REVIEW: THE ELECTRIC SUV YOU NEED TO CONSIDER?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Opel Grandland Electric is presented as a compelling option for families seeking a practical and stylish electric SUV. The reviewer praises its modern, muscular design, particularly the GS trim's black accents and the functional, elegant interior that successfully blends German design principles with Stellantis platform underpinnings. Key highlights include comfortable, ergonomically designed seats certified by the German Back Care Institute, a user-friendly cockpit with a good mix of physical and touch controls (especially the climate unit), and ample interior space that doesn't compromise the exterior's manageable dimensions. The reviewer also commends the inclusion of a rear wiper and the practical 550L boot space. However, minor criticisms are leveled at the central screen's responsiveness, the somewhat fiddly phone storage solution, and a slight lack of headroom for taller passengers in the rear. The electric powertrain, while adequate for daily driving and city use, is noted as not being particularly powerful for its weight, though it offers a smooth and quiet experience. The reviewer recommends the larger 82 kWh battery and the GS trim for those opting for the electric version. Overall, the Grandland Electric is deemed a solid, well-rounded package that successfully retains Opel's distinct identity.
