Electric cars|The new Opel is the same priced both in electricity and an internal combustion engine, but this “price pair” has a flip side.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
The German brand Opel sells the new Frontera car model at the same price as both an electric and petrol hybrid version.
Rami Kittilä, CEO of Auto-Bon, says that electric cars are no longer expensive or a few delicacies.
The 44 kilowatt -hour battery of the electric version is small and in winter it may be short.
Price is one of the obstacles to switching to a full electric car. It is particularly difficult if you get a similar car in the store with a much cheaper internal combustion engine.
The statistics of the Automobile Information Center reveal that the average price of a first registered, or virtually a new electric car, was around EUR 57,000 last year. The petrol machine received less than € 33,000.
The German brand Opel is a new way to try ice with a stick: its fresh car’s gas hybrid and electric version are the same price. It speaks of this as a “price pair”.
“We should tell the Parliament’s car club that electric cars are no longer expensive. It’s no longer a few delicacies, ”claims the CEO of the Auto-Bon importing brand Rami Kittilä.
Hybrid-Frontera was photographed at Backas Manor in Vantaa. There is a seven -seat version of the hybrid, but no electricity. As such, the shape of a car or battery should not be an obstacle, but with a high load, the battery’s ability is on the card.
Frontera is an urban SUV. The most stripped car combbo, which has a couple of 10,000 euros.
The name may burst into the ear, as the Germans used to have an off -road car of the same name. The newcomer is not going to plow into the wilderness, but probably as a second car for shopping centers.
There is undoubtedly so much space drilled inside as this size and price in the car. The door opens at an almost 90 degree angle to make it easier for the child seat to be eased.
“Especially when you consider that the best -selling electric car is currently in addition to Tesla (Volvo) Ex30, we are really a space miracle compared to that,” Kittilä explains.
At the sale of electric cars Teslan Model y wrestles in a completely different series but electric volvo May hit the same buyers’ wallet.
You can buy a third bench row for the hybrid version. In seven seven, it sounds like a sardine can, but it was not yet visible on the brand’s Media Day.
This is where the electric version is posing at the rustic silk factory in Vantaa. Black outer roof is only part of the GS equipment level, which needs a couple more tons to the counter.
Urgent Test drive with each type of cars reveals that parity is an electric compromise.
It has a 44 kilowatt -hour battery, which is from a small end in current cars. The paper should reach about 300 kilometers.
The same battery is found Citröen’s small ë-c3which is the cheapest electric cars on the market. Opel could be thought to be the same car bigger.
With two people’s ballast, Frontera predicted a range of 90 kilometers with half the battery left. If you are always loading the car to the full, the limited area must be weighed before purchasing.
On Media Day, journalists’ fluttering version is unlikely to match everyday driving, but at a 50 % reservation level, the battery serves only 90 kilometers at one temperature.
If you pack the car from the floor to the ceiling and toss a 350 kg cart, then there is a winter kilometer thriller in your lap.
The self -loading hybrid is visually similar, though driving is accompanied by the spinning of the internal combustion engine. It is a bit more upbeat in traffic than an electric version.
With electricity, when you hit the bottom of the shed, you can humbly humming with modest horsepower and torque combo Nelli Matula:
“Run you who run, get the medals around the neck. I am no longer in a hurry and it doesn’t hurt if I get to the grave more slowly. ”
In this electrical version, the floor is slightly higher than the hybrid as the battery package flies under the feet.
“This It’s not the car that the ranch will ever be 600 kilometers. For that, we have other cars, ”says Rami Kittilä.
The Opel collection is now such that each car offers an electric version. There is no parity in non -Frontera.
The Astra model in electronic costs about five tons more than the cheapest gas engine. In Grandland, a SUV jump from the cheapest hybrid to the electric version is already tens of tons.
Kittilä expects 400 stores to be agreed from Frontera over the next 12 months.
Looking at the back, it seems that hybrid-frontera would be willing to be even a bit more rugged. The ground clearance is comfortable 20 cents in both versions of the car.
