Opel is set to shake up the electric vehicle (EV) market with a brand-new SUV, built in partnership with Chinese manufacturer Leapmotor. The upcoming model aims to capture a significant share of the budget-friendly EV segment, positioning itself below the current Grandland model in Opel's lineup. By targeting this price-sensitive market, Opel hopes to compete with a range of popular models, including the Skoda Elroq, Kia EV3, and Renault Scenic, as well as the Ford Explorer. With the global demand for eco-friendly vehicles on the rise, Opel's latest offering is likely to be a closely-watched development in the automotive industry.
