Opel Grandland PHEV travelled 1,115 km on one tank and one charge in real-world conditions
Opel decided to test the new Grandland Plug-in Hybrid GS in real road conditions, and the result exceeded expectations. The crossover covered 1,115 kilometres using a full battery charge (17.9 kWh) and one tank of fuel. For comparison, according to the official WLTP cycle, this figure is 897 kilometres, of which 87 kilometres are in purely electric mode.
Here's What We Know
The test took place in more challenging conditions than the WLTP standard, with temperatures gradually dropping from 11°C to 4°C and the car wearing 19-inch winter tyres instead of summer tyres with reduced rolling resistance. The route included typical traffic around Frankfurt, mixed roads, traffic jams and the urban cycle - everything the average driver encounters.
Powered by a 195 hp (143 kW) powertrain with 350 Nm of torque, the Opel Grandland PHEV achieved an average consumption of 4.6 litres/100 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Of the total route of 1,115 kilometres, the crossover covered about 380 kilometres exclusively on electric power. The battery was recharged during braking by regeneration. Four pauses were made during the entire time to comply with legal requirements.
The new Opel Grandland PHEV in Germany is available from 40,150 euros.
