The role model for opel’s next generation of models is here. According to the latest trends is very efficient, connected, and modular.
Yesterday leaked the photos and we could already see what awaits us. Now we have all the information on the Monza which is about a couple of weeks to marvel at the IAA in Frankfurt.
The Monza indicates the direction in which Opel with new models will continue. Maximum connectiveit and optimal efficiency according to the brand guide. That they want to achieve with LED technology and lightweight constructions. In addition, there are different modular powertrains to fit under the Monza.
A spacious sculpture
The sculpture design of opel’s latest, we go as first seen in the new generation Opel Insignia. As if it were a miracle, told the brand that the design of the 4,69 meter-long Monza, space and easy access combines with a ‘sporty’ design. Despite the height of 1.31 metres, there would still be 500 litres of luggage space.
On the concept, we’ve seen gullwing doors, small chance that we are also in production. However, there is the chance that Opel, like Ford, the B-pillar disappear.
Connected
Innovation gives the Monza also. An interesting development is, for example, the absence of screens in the car. With 18 LED projectors is a multi-function dashboard projected. The nice thing is that you are completely to your own taste could furnish. With 3D projections, information from the internet combined with, for example, navigation and autostatus. Fully connected and using your voice to operate. Opel says already thinking about the integration of this concept into models of production.
According to Opel, the Monza is a “Human-Machine-Interface”. That is an exciting name for a car that is ergonomically well put together. This allows the Opel to ensure that only relevant information and settings are available for the driver. This they want to avoid we completely crazy to be fall all buttons and possibilities of the future Opel.
Your smartphone to connect with your Monza in three ways; ‘ME’, ‘US’ and ‘ALL’. In ME mode, you’re free from the outside world and you have only the relevant information is available. In US-mode you can talk with your friends and in ALL-mode is the world at your feet.
Car-to-Car
The car can also talk with other cars. Opel is already longer busy with Car-to-Car communication. The Monza is a further elaboration thereof, and shows the possibilities of opel’s Car-to-Car and Car-to-X systems. By the connection between multiple cars, the opel’s in the future, avoid accidents, and to respond faster to unexpected circumstances.
Powertrain
Under the hood of the Monza, we find an evolved Ampera powertrain. But the car is so developed that there is also a other powertrain can be mounted. This time the Ampera electric motor for an opportunity linked to opel’s latest 1.0 SIDI turbo engine, which serves as a range extender. Because the block on gas runs there would be a low emissions are possible.
It will make us wonder what we all of go back to see in the new Opel models. Fact is that the brand is an important concept that has put us an idea of what is to come.
