What Happened
The Opel Grandland Electric AWD is the brand's first battery-electric model with all-wheel drive, designed for fully electric holidays with a caravan, boat, or jet ski. It can tow up to 1,350 kg and features a 73 kWh lithium-ion NMC battery, delivering a WLTP range of up to 502 km and 0 g/km CO2 emissions. Energy consumption is 18.1 kWh/100 km, and the battery can be recharged from 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes at a public fast-charger.

Four drive modes—Normal, Eco, Sport, and 4WD—let drivers adapt to conditions. In 4WD both electric motors run continuously for optimum grip on slippery surfaces, while Sport makes steering and accelerator response more direct; both modes deliver peak power and torque of up to 509 Nm. The standard Frequency Selective Damping chassis and ESP with TSM trailer anti-oscillation system keep the vehicle stable when towing, cornering, and at high speed on the Autobahn.
Inside, the SUV seats up to five people with Intelli-Seats certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V., a 16-inch touchscreen, and a Pixel Box for wireless phone charging. Cargo space is at least 485 litres, expanding to 1,580 litres when the 40:20:40 split rear bench is folded, and practical accessories for bicycles are available. The trailer coupling attaches in seconds without tools, and Fendt is developing lightweight, compact, aerodynamically optimised caravans tailored to electric towing vehicles.
Opel's 'Electric All In' package, available to private buyers in Germany on vehicles purchased by September 30, 2026, includes an eProWallbox Move home charger, e-routes functions, and eight years of mobile charging and breakdown assistance (up to three times a year) plus battery warranty. The offer is designed to make electric mobility easy and more affordable.
Why this matters
The Grandland Electric AWD is Opel's first battery-electric all-wheel-drive model, giving families with caravans, boats, or jet skis a zero-emission towing option with a 502 km range. Its bundled 'Electric All In' services—including a home wallbox, e-routes, and eight years of assistance—aim to make switching to electric mobility easier and more affordable for private buyers in Germany.
