Since 2017, Opel has become a subsidiary of PSA (now Stellantis). Under this new leadership, the brand benefited from a full view of the assortmentrepositioning of its products and a clarifying the image of your brand…Since 2020, its logo has evolved. Rebelote a few weeks ago with another evolution of his famous Blitz ! Of course, there is no question of changing the known flash. He dresses all models of the brand in a form that has not changed much since 1954. With large-scale electrification (Opel will become 100% electric in 2028), it would be difficult to imagine changing the logo, which is so symbolic of electricity.

So what changes? It remains in 2Dbut there is now cut in half and not in a whole piece, as before. The circle that was closed now opens to release the ends of the lightning. In short, not much new. But it’s true, he suggests more modern and less bland look than Blitz before. The first model that is equipped with it in the standard configuration will be released in 2024.

Three novelties are expected in Munich

By then, we’ll already see it on the throne of a concept car at the next Munich Motor Show (IAA). For the 2023 edition, which will be held from September 5 to 10, Opel has indeed announced that it will display three new electric cars there! Including the most important of all will be the world premiere of the electric Astra Sports Tourer. Introduced in November 2022 at the same time as the five-door sedan, the Astra station wagon will be available to the public for the first time.

This cousin of the Peugeot e-308 station wagon shares the same power plant with the French. It is developing 156 horsepower at 270 Nm of torque. A 54 kWh battery will allow autonomy up to 416 kilometers. It should arrive in France at the end of 2023. Another novelty will be the world premiere, restyled version of the electric Opel Corsa. The cousin of the Peugeot e-208 was recently updated, a few weeks before its French counterpart. She used a completely redesigned front end. This now includes the famous front end Vauxhall Vizor, as well as LED projectors (among others). But back to the concept…

Experimental concept

This information is not entirely new, as Opel has already announced that it wants to present its vision of the future, its “manifesto” for the future. Now we know its name: Experimental. A fairly classic name that at least has its merits to announce the color that this vehicle should embody. The boss of Opel said about him: ” Opel Experimental marks the beginning of a a new chapter for our brand. It was designed to give a tangible vision of Opel’s direction. We will reveal more details soon. Follow us “. THE some photos presented by the brand about him is hardly more obvious. We still notice futuristic and sharp designwhich seems to take pride of place on the sidelines “machinery”. A little more patience, the answer will be in September…
