Opel's Grandland wins award for class-leading lighting
The all-new Opel Grandland SUV has been honoured with another award.
Opel’s all-new Grandland SUV, already a Golden Steering Wheel award-winner, has added to its trophy list, honoured with a prestigious Driving Vision News Award 2025 in the 'Best Front Lamps' category.
Philipp Roeckl, Global Lead Complex Lighting at Stellantis, accepted the award on behalf of Opel at the DVN awards ceremony in Munich last month.
"With the adaptive, glare-free Intelli-Lux HD light, we have developed a pioneering system for the new Opel Grandland. For the first time, the headlights have more than 50,000 individual elements, enabling high-resolution light distribution that is always appropriate to the situation. This not only increases comfort for the driver, but also the safety of all road users. We are delighted that the DVN community has honoured this with the DVN Award 2025," said Mr Roeckl.
Driving Vision News is a network of leading experts in the fields of lighting technology, driver assistance systems, lidar and vehicle interiors. In newsletters, reports and workshops, it regularly provides information on technological developments and innovations in this specialised field. At this year's DVN Awards, numerous lighting innovations were up for election in six categories.
The Opel Grandland’s ultra-modern Intelli-Lux HD light turns night into day for the driver and precisely illuminates the route and surroundings. Depending on the prevailing traffic situation, the camera detects road users in front and oncoming traffic and the Intelli-Lux HD light cuts them out even faster and more precisely than previous matrix light technologies. The ‘light tunnel’, i.e. the area left out by the light beam, is narrower than before, while the rest of the street and the surrounding area is better lit. In this way, the system delivers even brighter and more even light distribution without dazzling others.
