13.5.2019 Rüsselsheim. Opel is electric: The automotive manufacturer presents the new all-wheel-drive Plug-In Hybrid variant of the Grand country X – an important component of the strategic plan PACE!.
The sporty-elegant Grand country X Hybrid4 leads in the future, the Opel SUV Portfolio of Grand country X, Crossland X and mocha X. The Grand country X Hybrid4 comes at the request of the distinctive with a black hood, and combines the power from a 1.6‑Liter turbo gasoline engine and two electric motors that offer a system output of up to 300 HP. The fuel consumption is according to WLTP1/NEFZ2 2.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions 49 g/km (weighted, combined, provisional figures). The start of sales for the first Plug-In Hybrid from Opel, it is planned for the coming weeks; to the first customer, he rolls at the beginning of 2020.
At the same time the Opel Grand country X contributes Hybrid4 is essential to achieving the future stringent CO2 targets. As another electrified model, the purely battery-powered Version of the new Corsa Generation, in addition, at the Start, which will also be later this year available. Another milestone – as well as new highly efficient internal combustion engines – in the continuous development of Opel to sustainable automobile manufacturer. By 2024, every Opel will be offered-model as the electrified variant.
Opel is an approachable, German brand, which would like to inspire you. This is the claim of the new Grand country X-variant, with their state-of-the-art Plug-and-underscores-In-Hybrid-technology. The drive system of the Grand country X Hybrid4 include:
a WLTP-certified, 147 kW/200 HP strong 1.6-Liter turbo gasoline direct-injection engine that meets the Euro-6d-TEMP-Norm. The four-cylinder engine has been specially designed to meet the requirements of a Hybrid vehicle.
and an electric unit with two electric motors, whose performance is 80 kW/109 HP and four-wheel drive and 13.2 kWh Lithium-ion battery. The Front electric motor transmits its power via an electrified, Eight-speed automatic to the front wheels. The second electric motor and the differential are integrated in the rear axle. This second electric drive makes the Grand country X Hybrid4 to the four-wheel drive with the best traction.
The 1.6-litre petrol unit covers most rides with medium and high speed, while the electric drive is coming at a lower pace. The Opel Grand country X Hybrid4 drives up to 50 km under WLTP-Fahrzyklus1 purely electrically (60 kilometers according to NEFZ2). This range covers according to German studies, approximately 80 percent of the average daily travel distances. Say: the Bulk of the Grand country X Hybrid4 rides can be placed, therefore, with Zero emissions.
Opel Grand country X Hybrid4-the driver can choose between four driving modes depending on preference and driving requirements: electric, Hybrid, all-wheel drive and Sport. So the SUV is driving in the Hybrid mode automatically in the most efficient driving manner. For the city traffic, the driver can simply switch over to electric mode and the car continues to run with Zero emissions. For best traction on any surface, in turn, the all-wheel-mode enable, connects the electrified rear axle.
With the Grand country X Hybrid4 and its ultra-modern drive solutions Opel makes even more innovations for all the possible – and implements them for the customer’s maximum feasible. The port to Charge the battery via the 3.3 kW On-Board Charger (with optional 6.6 kW) to the normal tank cap opposite side of the vehicle. The battery is space-savingly installed under the rear seats for full comfort in the interior and cargo volume in the trunk.
Electricity is currently cheaper than conventional fuel. Therefore: Not the Tank is constantly refilling, but better the battery regularly charge. Depending on the Region and distance traveled for the energy to decrease costs. The charging time depends on the type of the charging device. In addition to the in the scope of delivery of the vehicle included cable to Charge via a normal household outlet, Opel offers devices for quick charging at public stations and wall boxes at home. So, the battery charges, for example, in the case of a 7.4 kW wall box in about an hour and 50 minutes to complete.
For a more comfortable Charging the Grand country X Hybrid4 Free2Move Services, the mobility brand of the Groupe PSA offers special solutions for electric vehicles. The offer includes a loading pass, which allows access to more than 85,000 charging points in Europe. Furthermore, there is a route planner that takes into account the residual range of the vehicle and the location of the charging stations along the route and the best route is calculated. The Navi 5.0 intellilink directs are going to the driver, thanks to networked Navigation directly to the selected charging station, and is always the best way.
In addition, the Grand country X offer a Hybrid4 the new telematics Service Opel Connect want. With features like Live Navigation with real-time traffic information, vehicle data retrieval via the App, direct connection to roadside assistance and emergency travel for the driver and passengers a more relaxing experience. On the red help button in seconds, is easy to reach. The belt tensioners or Airbags are triggered, the System automatically an emergency call.
“One Pedal Driving”: braking via the accelerator pedal
The regenerative braking system of the Grand country X Hybrid4 makes the car even more efficient by the wins when braking, or when the speed of decrease in the generated energy back. In the case of a conventional brake system, the friction in the brakes, the mechanical energy generated is lost as heat. At the Grand country X Hybrid4 this excess kinetic is converted into electrical energy. It can be immediately or stored in the battery. In this way, the purely electric range of the hybrid vehicle increases, on average, by up to ten percent.
For maximum energy recovery, the driver can switch to “Regeneration on Demand”. The drag torque of the electric motor is so high that there is no brake pedal must be pressed. The car is in normal traffic even slower up to the standstill. The Grand country X Hybrid4 can thus be using the throttle control, the so-called “One Pedal Driving”. To make the best use of the high-voltage electrical system (300 V) has the Grand country X Hybrid4 in addition, an electric air-conditioning compressor and electric heating.
The all-new Grand country X Hybrid4 is a pioneer in the Opel family of electrified vehicles. In addition to the Ampera-e, which is still in various markets in the program, will introduce the manufacturer in the world within 20 months of the Corsa, the next-Generation, the new Zafira Life, the new commercial vehicle-the all-rounder Vivaro and the successor of the mocha X – each model is also available as a pure battery electric Version.
