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.

OPEL NZ commercial manager Noah Robertson says Grandland is the car for you when all you want is everything. “Grandland offers exceedingly good versatility and innovative new technology, and combined with power, efficiency and safety features, it makes for a great new family SUV.

“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.”

The SUV has a black roof and black roof bars and exterior trims, dark-tinted rear windows and 19 inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

How on earth to start this? I've been car/bike/truck crazy since I was a teen. Like John, I had the obligatory Countach poster on the wall. I guess I'm more officially into classic and muscle cars than anything else - I currently have a '65 Sunbeam Tiger that left the factory the same day as I left the hospital as a newborn with my mother. How could I not buy that car? In 2016 my wife and I drove across the USA in a brand-new Dodge Challenger, and then shipped it home. You can read more on www.usa2nz.co.nz. We did this again in 2019 in a 1990 Chev Corvette - you can read about that trip on DriveLife. I'm a driving instructor and an Observer for the Institute of Advanced Motorists - trying to do my bit to make our roads safer.
