that's a very well thought car. I think we're finally seeing what the guys at Opel/Vauxhall are up to under Stellantis umbrella than GM strings. as far they are leaving the GM products behind, the linup seems to get better and better. funny isn't?

I bought a cushion with a tailbone cutout for use in my SUV. It changed my life, I could sit in there for hours now.

Looks really smart, and if it came on at the same AP as the ID4 that I've ordered, I'd have probably swapped my Grandland for this.

For many years I have wondered why they keep with the Vauxhall brand and haven't just switched to using Opel. Anyway, we will be looking for a new EV in about 12 months' time so this will go on the list with the Enyaq, Scenic and 3008. The main challenge with Grandland and 3008 will be the pricing

@@oliverstemp9132 Yes it is a very... interesting topic… A well-kept secret on par with the cover-up of UFOs on American bases, is GM's stone-cold ban on revealing how much work Opel did for American GM. GM was afraid that the American brand and the national pride that it was 100 % American designed and developed cars would be damaged, if it came out that it was not true. When Opel worked at its peak for American GM, more than 50 % of the Opel business consisted of designing and engineering, what everyone... in the US thought were all-American products... In fact, apart from the very largest and SUV / pickups and the Corvette and the Camaro, (with the exception of some minor detail such as the steering wheel which is sometimes designed by Opel) - the majority of Chevrolets are designed and even technically engineered in Europe by Opel and not by GM in the US. This task was carried out on behalf of Chevrolet according to Chevrolet's specifications and wishes to suit the American market, but still, it was Opel who did the work. I even have rare photo evidence of how a covered prototype of the new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze being rolled out from Opel Deign, or GM Design Europ As it was then called, because they worked for many GM brands. Sometimes Opel has leaked images where they are working on components for Chevrolet in the background, without commenting on what is going on. There are masked cars that briefly rolled in Europe, but which then appear in some remote part of the US and which then turn out to be a new Chevrolet or Buick. In some cases, they even retain Opel's special camouflage that was not used by American GM. The American prestige project Chevrolet Volt is based on the Opel Astra and around 86 % of the technology was developed and engineered by Opel who also developed the finished car and made everything work Volt appearance and body was designed in the US by Chevrolet, this time only certain components of the visible such as steering levers and the steering wheel came from Opel, transferred straight from Astra, but if you look at the interior and the design of the panel, you recognize that it is an Astra underneath the surface. The entire program and technical development was transferred from Germany to the US for the final work under the direction of Opel engineers and Opel product manager and electric car expert Frank Weber - Now BMW's technical development manager who led the development of BMW's entire electric car program, he was bought over by an impressed BMW right after the VOLT program was finished. The purpose of this was to hide the foreign interference and to market that GM was important to the US and was driving American leadership and American superior technology - for political reasons, as GM received government support during the economic crisis. The fact that the new leading advanced super technology from GM was not... American, could have caused major political problems in Washington. And speaking of electric cars... the famous GM EV1 was entirely based on technology developed by Opel and carried over from the Opel Astra Impulse 3 With a new battery and a new electric motor, but otherwise based on the Astra, that too... You will find one of the preserved EV1s in the Opel museum for this reason. Opel design chief Mark Adams was head of Cadillac design in 2012 and 2013. So, to put it simply, it's Chevrolet and Buick that are rebadged Opel...

Looks nice and simple, like the Opel of my childhood. Nice color and nice interior. They have reduced the piano black but kept it on the steering wheel... that's bad. Good for the paddles and the big batteries! If the price is right they could sell it, even if the Enyaq and the Scenic are some good alternatives

One less thing to worry about, come the day of selling/handing back.

This is probably the first Vauxhall I actually quite like. It is big though which is fine if you need a big car but probably overkill for most people. From certain angles it has a bit of a Velar vibe going on, or is that just me?

I do wish manufacturers would be brave and encourage us back towards hatches, saloons and estates rather than SUVs and then we’d have even more range to play with. That said, I do think Vauxhall have done a good job with this car, and the design tweaks and interior are pushing towards being cool again. Put these designs into a hot hatch and that would be a cool car. BUT, we do not need AI in our cars; in one second you’re saying how great it is that they’ve put things in to reduce distraction, like minimal mode and the slightly unnecessary pixel box, and in the other you’re saying it’ll come with ChatGPT. WHY? ChatGPT etc is just not needed in our cars. And if the argument is that you might use it while you’re waiting to charge, that’s just marketing speak. If you stay in your car during charging you’re invariably using your iPad or laptop, most likely you’re in the services having a pee, and the majority of us just charge at home overnight anyway.

6.24 and I've had to pause the video.... I can't believe I'm liking a Vauxhall, not since the old Vauxhall Astra estate have I seen so much room in one.... Ok back to the video, where's the catch Nicola, range or price or both? Oh my goodness...plus 300 mile range on the littlest! That's amazing if true, can't wait to see you drive it to confirm.
