The top-end variant(s) could have a dual-motor AWD powertrain. 125-180 kW electric drive modules will power these EVs. STLA Medium platform-based will get battery packs with 87-104 kWh of gross energy, and they will be capable of delivering a range of up to 700 km (435 miles). The Opel Manta Electric SUV coupe should sit on the STLA Medium platform, which Stellantis is developing for premium C-segment and D-segment models. Opel will be an all-electric range by 2028, including the production model of the Manta-e. The four STLA platforms are quite flexible to accommodate varying dimensions and component sharing while offering all types of drivetrains – front-wheel, rear-wheel, all-wheel, and 4xe (four-wheel) layouts. There is no information on the powertrain, but it will be based on the STLA platform announced by Stellantis in 2021. “We want to develop all-new lighting systems and bring them to the market,” Hochgeschurtz said. The duo will start advanced adaptive light systems tests with a prototype at the end of the year. The company has joined hands with the Technical University of Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) to research new lighting technologies. Their job is not just to illuminate the road ahead. Opel CEO Uwe Hochgeschurtz says that advanced adaptive light systems are connected to many assistance systems. The Manta GSe ElektroMOD’s Pixel-Vizor front end could debut as a series-production feature on the Manta Electric. The Manta Electric could feature the brand’s next-gen lighting technology and maybe even a closed-off upper grille with an integrated display to project safety signs for oncoming pedestrians and cars. We expect Opel to present the Manta-e concept at a motor show or a company event this year.Ĭurrent Opel models feature Intelli-Lux LED Pixel light technology. No other details have been disclosed by Opel, including its interior and powertrain options. The final design might have extensive changes to make it practical and simpler to produce. Opel has mentioned at the bottom of the teaser that the illustration does not represent production intent. Opel should present a concept car that previews the design of the Manta Electric by the end of 2023. According to the teaser unveiled at EV Day 2021 by Stellantis (parent company of Opel), the Opel Manta Electric might have a radical design with a sharp coupe-like roofline and flared wheel arches, with a curved design for the bonnet and boot lid. Unlike the one-off Manta GSe ElektroMOD and the Manta from yesteryears which are two-door coupes, the reborn Opel Manta Electric will be a five-door crossover. Michael Lohscheller, former CEO of Opel, at Stellantis EV Day 2021 Design ‘Green is the new cool’ – Opel will re-invent the Manta-e by mid-decade, and bring a very emotional car to the market, which will excite our customers. Opel is going the pure-electric way in the Chinese auto market, with the company eyeing the European car markets with the same strategy. The Manta Electric will play an important role in Opel’s pure electrification plans in Europe by 2028.

What will be the key rivals of Opel Manta Electric? Opel Manta Electric production plans Opel’s then-CEO Michael Lohscheller said that the company would be launching the Opel Manta-e by mid-decade of the 2020s at EV Day 2021.
