Another model is being launched in the onslaught from Opel’s recent return to New Zealand. With the Mokka and Corsa already here, this week saw the launch of their medium-sized SUV, the Grandland.
Initially, a petrol-only version is available, priced from $51,990, while a plug-in hybrid will be “arriving soon”. Both are specced at SRi level.

“This car is perfect for the daily commute but even better for family road trips and weekend adventures with plenty of space and modern features without the clutter.”
