About Opel

Opel is a German manufacturer founded in 1862 (cars from 1899), offering practical, well-engineered mainstream vehicles, now part of Stellantis.

On this page you will find the complete Opel model range with detailed technical data, dimensions, engine and transmission information, plus genuine owner reviews. Whether you are researching Opel specifications, comparing trims, or reading real-world Opel reviews before you buy, our catalogue currently lists 36 Opel models to explore.

History & Heritage

Opel was founded in 1862 by Adam Opel, and is headquartered in Rüsselsheim, Germany. Over the decades the brand has grown from its early roots into a name recognised by drivers around the world, shaped by its engineering choices, design language and the people who build and drive its cars.

Understanding a manufacturer's heritage helps put its current cars in context. Each generation of Opel models reflects the priorities of its era, from mechanical layout and powertrain technology to safety systems and interior comfort. The specifications on this site let you trace how Opel vehicles have evolved in size, power and equipment over time.

Mission & Vision

Vision: To electrify the entire range and make EVs accessible to all.

The brand is often associated with its slogan, “Wir leben Autos”, which captures the character it aims to deliver in every model.

Design, Technology & Performance

Opel models are described on this site with the technical detail buyers care about: engine type and displacement, transmission, drivetrain layout, wheelbase, length, width, height and kerb weight. These figures are essential when you are judging performance potential, interior space, efficiency and everyday practicality.

Comparing Opel specifications across models makes it easy to see the trade-offs between a smaller, lighter car and a larger, more powerful one. Dimensions affect how a car parks, corners and carries passengers and luggage, while engine and transmission details hint at how it will feel to drive. Reading the numbers alongside real owner reviews gives a rounded picture before a test drive.

Buying & Ownership Guide

Look at the Opel price for the trim you want, compare it with rivals, and check the specification sheet for the equipment that matters to you. Whether you are considering a new Opel or a used Opel, matching the model's dimensions and engine to your needs helps avoid buyer's remorse.

Owner reviews are one of the most valuable resources when buying a car. On each Opel model page you can read comments from real drivers and add your own experience, covering reliability, running costs, comfort and everyday usability.
