Opel has committed to going electric and will offer an electrified version of every model on sale by 2024 and only sell 100% electric vehicles from 2028.
Opel is taking another step on its journey to electrification by introducing GSe – a new top-of-the-range electrified performance sub-brand.
GSe will stand for Grand Sport Electric and offer athletic looks that build on Vauxhall’s award-winning Bold & Pure design as well as driver-focused chassis set-ups that complement the higher performance of an electrified powertrain whilst retaining the zero-emissions-in-use benefits.
Florian Huettl, Opel CEO, said: "I am very happy to announce the return of GSe as our top of the range, sporty sub-brand in the immediate future. We have once again taken inspiration from our rich heritage - as we did for our new critically acclaimed bold and pure design - and given it a modern twist. In future, the label GSe will not only signify dynamic, fun to drive cars but also stand for 'Grand Sport electric', in full alignment with our ambitious plans to become a fully electric brand."
The Opel electric vehicle line-up comprises the Corsa Electric, Mokka Electric, Combo Life Electric and Vivaro Life Electric and will soon be joined Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric. The Astra, Astra Sports Tourer and Grandland are available as Plug-in Hybrids.
Opel recently presented the Manta-e GSe, a modern take on the legendary Manta from 1970. It shows how timeless the lines from 1970 still are today.
