Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, Opel Mokka GSE, and Grandland Electric AWD debut at IAA Mobility

Opel showcases three distinctive all-electric models at IAA Mobility 2025. With the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, the brand is presenting a world first in Munich. As the name suggests, the breathtaking concept car not only gives a preview of upcoming all-electric GSE models, but it also underlines Opel’s commitment to the small car segment. In addition, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo offers another premiere, as it can be experienced and driven by anyone in one of the world’s leading racing simulators – Gran Turismo 7 – from autumn onwards. With its extraordinary design, a system output of 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Newton meters of torque, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.0 seconds, and a top speed of 320 km/h, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo represents the epitome of Opel’s high-performance GSE label.

The muscular and powerful appearance of the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo underlines its exceptional performance. The body is characterised by sharp and precise contours, combined with technical and mechanical details. The leitmotif that runs through the entire vehicle is the further sharpened Opel Compass. In addition, the high-performance show car shines with numerous aero solutions, from special aero curtains in front of the confidently designed front and rear fenders to particularly efficient aero wheels, the active aero diffuser and aero spoiler.

The cockpit also clearly follows the Opel Compass motif and conveys a pure racing driver feeling. The slim steering wheel allows a direct view of the most important information projected onto the head-up display – additional screens are superfluous. In this way, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo opens up completely new perspectives. With the latest study, Opel is merging the digital world with the real world.

The Opel Mokka GSE Rally, which entered the big stage for the first time in early summer at the ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup “powered by GSE”, is the best example of this. From the outside, it excites with motorsport wrapping including OMG! GSE lettering, black bonnet, yellow brake calipers and many other rally accents. Even more impressive are the key technical data: 207 kW (281 hp) of peak power, 345 Newton metres of torque and sophisticated motorsport technology make the Mokka GSE Rally a unique all-electric rally car. It is on display at Opel’s Open Space booth at Odeonsplatz on September 9 and on other days at booth KP195 of Opel’s motorsport partner ADAC at Königsplatz in the centre of Munich.

The best thing about the Mokka GSE Rally: Opel is bringing this special motorsport feeling to series production – in the form of the new Opel Mokka GSE. The production electric car, which can be ordered, is just as powerful as its motorsport counterpart with 207 kW (281 hp). With the immediate torque of 345 Newton meters, the Mokka GSE accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds – and with a top speed of 200 km/h, it will soon be the fastest all-electric Opel. The sophisticated technology, which was also inspired by the rally car, contributes to the exceptional performance. For example, the Mokka GSE has a Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential as well as a chassis with specially designed axles and new double hydraulic dampers. All high-voltage components of the production Mokka GSE come from the Mokka GSE Rally. The steering system, suspension and brakes have also been designed to be particularly sporty and optimised with Opel’s experience from electric rallying.

The brand with the Blitz is celebrating another public premiere in Munich with the new Opel Grandland Electric AWD. With its first electric all-wheel drive vehicle, the brand is now making the comfortable top-of-the-line SUV even more attractive. The performance values speak for themselves: the new Grandland Electric AWD has a system output of 239 kW (325 hp) and a maximum torque of 509 Newton metres. In just 6.1 seconds, the all-wheel-drive vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. In the Ultimate variant, which can already be ordered, the Grandland Electric AWD can cover up to 489 kilometres (WLTP2) between charging stops; further trim levels with a range of up to 501 kilometres (provisional value according to WLTP2) will follow this year.

The gripping electric all-wheel drive pleasure is further enhanced by two components. Grandland Electric AWD drivers can choose from the four driving modes ‘Normal’, ‘Eco’, ‘Sport’ and ‘4WD’. While in ‘4WD’ both electric motors of the all-wheel-drive vehicle run continuously and distribute the power evenly to all four wheels to ensure optimal grip – especially on slippery surfaces – in ‘Sport’ the steering and accelerator pedal respond even more directly thanks to a special setting. In both modes, peak power and torque are available. In addition, the chassis of the battery-electric top model has Frequency Selective Damping technology as standard. Depending on the situation, road conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct road contact.

Opel Grandland was unveiled today bringing many design features first seen on the Opel Experimental concept car to life for the first time on a serial production model. The next-generation Grandland represents a major step for Opel in making electro-mobility even more appealing. It is the first Opel to benefit from the Stellantis STLA Medium BEV-native platform. Thanks to the new architecture, the new flat battery…
