Just a quick little video for the Opel Grandland SRi PHEV. More of a rant than an actual review. Take a look at the video below to see what I mean…

White, Warmer than Yellow

The yellow SRi Astra we tested a little while ago was a great little warm hatch but the white GSe plug-in hybrid version, whilst still not a hot hatch, is most definitely much warmer. Pumping out much more torque and kilo-wattages, 360Nm and 165kW combined compared to only 230Nm and 96kW than the SRi, it really does feel much closer to a hot hatch than the lukewarm SRi.

The Opel Grandland looks like your normal SUV, or oversized hatchback, but it is more than just that. Flicking this family wagon into sport mode turns a normal everyday runabout into something a bit special guaranteed to put put a smile on your dial and probably your passengers as well, unless of course they scare easily!
A Go-Kart for the Road

Recently we tested the awesome little Opel Corsa-e. This time we have the epic little Corsa SRi running the efficient yet powerful 1.2 litre, 3 cylinder turbo engine. The size of this little Corsa mated with that engine, 8-speed auto gearbox with manual shift option and flappy-paddles makes for a fantastic little package. Responsive, nippy and a hell of a lot of fun.
Opel Corsa SRi is available for $36,990 with the current clean car rebate of $2,438.79 bringing it down to a very affordable $34,551.21. And I say ‘current’ clean car rebate because it is looking like that rebate will be scrapped soon for all vehicles running internal combustion engines, no matter how efficient they are.

Recently we reviewed the Opel Mokka e, this time we have the Opel Mokka SRi, the fossil fuelled version of what was a not too bad mini SUV form the German manufacturer.
